Golfers perform well

The boys golf team played
at Prineville Country Club
on Tuesday, April 7, on a
wet, cold and windy day, and
walked away with some of
their best scores of the year.
Freshman Austin Lake
had a great round of golf.
Lake broke 100 for the first
time this year and led the
Outlaws with a score of 91.
Lake carded a 48 on the front
nine and lowered his score by
five strokes on the back nine
for a 43.
Austin posted four pars
and only had one three-putt
in the round.
Coach Bill Mitchell said,
“Those four pars were huge,
but the big thing was his put-
ting. He did a great job on the
green today.”
All the kids are
getting better with
their short games, and
that’s the difference.
— Coach Bill Mitchell
Steen Johnson also broke
100 and finished the round
with a 98, highlighted by
his first-ever birdie. Johnson
missed the green on his tee-
shot on the par-three No. 7
hole, but chipped it in with
his sand-wedge for birdie.
Ben Saba carded a 106,
Devin Robillard shot a 102,
and Kade Owen finished at
112.
“All the kids are get-
ting better with their short
games, and that’s the differ-
ence,” commented Mitchell.
“I tell them every week not
to have any three-putts, but
it’s not easy, but that’s what
will make the difference in
the game.
“We shot under 400 today,
and it’s been a long time since
we’ve done that. Our goal
is to keep getting better and
keep lowering our scores.”
Summit dominated the
tourney and easily took
championship honors with a
team score of 295. Bend was
runner-up at 338, Ridgeview
took third (392), and Sisters
finished fourth with a 397.
On the girls side, Emily
Christen played at Meadow
Lakes on Thursday, April
9. Christen tied for her best
score ever with a 104.
Emily was very consis-
tent with her ball-striking,
and is close to reaching her
goal of breaking 100. On the
par-three No. 17 hole, Emily
hit her tee shot about six feet
short of the flag and just
barely missed her birdie-putt.
Mitchell said, “Emily’s
game gets better every week,
but her putting still needs to
improve.”
Summit won the tourna-
ment with a team score of
307.
The boys were to golf
at Bend Country Club
on Monday, April 13. On
Thursday, April 16, the boys
will play in a tournament at
Awbrey Glen. The girls will
head to Tokatee on Thursday,
April 16.

Boys lacrosse faces top-ranked teams
By rongi yost

The boys lacrosse team
started their week with two
losses against top-ranked
teams. Sisters fell 11-5 to
Summit on Tuesday, April 7,
and three days later lost 11-7
to Westview. On Saturday,
Sisters defeated Forest Grove
6-2.
In Tuesday’s game, Sum-
mit jumped out with five quick
goals in the first quarter, and
from there the Outlaws played
toe-to-toe with the Storm.
Sisters was able to score five
goals and Summit added six
in a very hard-fought game.
It was a frustrating
game for many of us,
but really, truly, I saw
some amazing lacrosse.
— Coach Andrew gorayeb
“We stayed within a goal
of them for three quarters,”
said Coach Andrew Gorayeb.
“If not for the first quarter,
we only would have lost the
game by one goal. It was a
frustrating game for many
of us, but really, truly, I saw
some amazing lacrosse.”
Chance Halley had two
goals he self-initiated, which
rallied the team to fire up and
compete. Joe Jones knocked
in two beautiful goals and
kept trying to score, but once
the Storm recognized his
ability, they double-teamed
him every time he attempted
to score. Mark Fish scored
Sisters’ fifth and final goal of
the contest.
Gorayeb gave kudos to
Angelo Frack for showing up
and playing even though he
wasn’t feeling well.
“Angelo played hard dur-
ing the first quarter, and then
got really sick on the side-
lines,” said Gorayeb. “Max
Kahnt, our German foreign-
exchange student, stepped in
as goalie and had an amazing
game.”
Gorayeb told The Nugget
many of the players were ner-
vous, and even a bit scared,
and didn’t want to let each
other down.
“We’re the 26th-ranked
program in the state of Ore-
gon, and we took on the 8th-
ranked program, and we hung
in there, and we showed them
we can compete,” commented
Gorayeb. “That’s a win in my
book. My Outlaws never gave
up. They worked hard and
tried to make something hap-
pen until the clock ran all the
way down. I am so proud of
these guys.”
On Friday, the Outlaws
faced No. 12-ranked West-
view. The Wildcats jumped
out early and at the half held
a 10-4 lead. Sisters tacked on
three goals in the second half,
and only allowed Westview to
score once.
“I think if we would have
had more time to play, we
would have won, just based
on the momentum we were
enjoying,” said Gorayeb.
Casey Lane recorded
12-plus ground balls and con-
tinued to show why he’s con-
sidered one of the best defen-
semen in the conference. Hal-
ley and Lane Gladden led the
scoring effort with three goals
each.
We’re the 26th-ranked
program in the state...we
took on the 8th-ranked
program, and we hung
in there, and we showed
them we can compete.
— Coach Andrew gorayeb
In Saturday’s action, Sis-
ters mixed it up a bit. Forest
Grove is a relatively young
program, and the Outlaws
wanted to give them a good
game, so they played everyone
in unfamiliar positions and
started all the junior players.
“It was a fun game,” said
Gorayeb. “By the fourth quar-
ter the score was 2-2. I’d had
enough and we went into our
regular positions, banged out
four goals, and called it a
win.”
Tyler Head and Fish each
scored two goals, and Luke
Hull and Gladden each scored
one.
The Outlaws play at Bend
on Wednesday, April 15, and
finish out their week at home
on Saturday with a game
against Churchill.
