Vikings clay target team heads to the range


The Siuslaw Vikings' recently formed clay target league team will hold its first team range day Saturday in advance of the nine-week season that begins Monday, March 29.
 
"I think we have a solid foundation, and I am looking forward to getting the season going," Vikings coach Sean Grundon said.
 
"I have 18 athletes registered and three more pending — a strong turnout for the first season."
 
Siuslaw student-athletes have until Monday, March 29 — the first day of practice — to join the team.
 
Grundon plans to launch a GoFundMe campaign and a league-recommended fundraiser next week.
 
That's just the start of it.
 
"I have bids from companies for hats and jerseys and I personally designed custom masks," Grundon said.
 
"I am working on trying to set up the social media pages. It's a big undertaking starting up a club."
 
Practices and competitions will be 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays. The first competition is scheduled for Monday, April 19.
