Siuslaw's play-in game on NFHS Network


The Siuslaw Vikings volleyball team's Oregon School Activities Association Class 4A play-in game at Banks will be on the NFHS Network at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Six of the eight play-in games are scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 26, while the remaining two are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 23.

The Lady Vikings, at No. 8, are the highest-ranked team not playing a home match in the play-in round. Siuslaw is in fact ranked higher than two schools who automatically qualfied (Tillamook and North Marion), as well as higher than Sky-Em League schools Junction City (No. 9) and Marshfield (No. 12), who have home dates in the play-in round.

Should Siuslaw win Tuesday, the Lady Vikings likely will play at North Marion in the first round of the 16-team championship bracket.
