Vikings kick off season at South Umpqua


The Vikings embraced the program and style of first-year coach Sam Johnson, who graduated from Siuslaw in 2013.

The Siuslaw Vikings will have five home games and four road games in their second football season under Sam Johnson.

The Vikings open their season Friday, Sept. 4, at Tri City against old Far West League foe South Umpqua in a nonleague game.

Siuslaw returns for three consecutive home games at Hans Petersen Memorial Field, Sept. 11 vs. Brookings-Harbor, Sept. 18 vs. Sisters and Sept. 25 vs. Sutherlin.

The Vikings had a big turnaround last season under Johnson, finishing 6-4, including a state playoff berth.

Siuslaw was 0-8 the previous season.

All four Vikings nonleague opponents last season were 4A schools, while this year they will play three nonleague games, all against 3A schools.
