Boys soccer hopes for sixth title
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Outlaws boys soccer
team returns 11 veteran play-
ers to the squad this season.
The Outlaws will be a big
threat in conference play.
They have five straight titles
under their belts and hope to
repeat again this year.
Seniors Colton Manhalter,
Jadon Bachtold, Tristan
Kascmarek and Jayden
Pallister return for their final
year and will lend experi-
ence and leadership to the
team. Manhalter returns for
his fourth year on the varsity
squad. He is a two-time first-
team all-league midfielder
and will play at that position
again this year. He was also
named Player of the Year in
the state championship two
years ago.
“Colton is one of the best
players in the state,” said
Coach Rob Jensen. “He has
an advanced understanding
of the game and creates and
finishes.”
Bachtold is also a four-
year starter and will play
at midfield. Last year he
was a first-team all-league
selection, and according to
Jensen, Jadon has improved
in all aspects of the game
since last season. Jensen
added that Jadon is bigger,
stronger, faster and smarter,
and should be a big threat
this year.
Kascmarek started at out-
side defense for the Outlaws
last year but will play at

center-back this year. Tristan
has made big improvement in
his footwork, and can win the
ball in the air.
Pallister rounds out the
returning senior players.
Jayden is strong and athletic,
and will play defense.
Nine juniors also return
for another season: Minam
C r a v e n s , Ry a n F u n k ,
Malachy Sundstrom, Sean
Willitts, Anson Ricker,
Keegan Greaney and Alec
Gannon.
Cravens will be playing
at center-back this year. Last
season he scored 10 goals for
the Outlaws.
“Minam provides lead-
ership and strength in the
most critical position,” said
Jensen. “He creates attack
from the back line.”
Funk was a second-team
all-league pick last year and
has greatly improved his play
since then. He will play goal-
keeper, and will be a force in
the back for the Outlaws this
year.
Sundstrom was named
first-team all-league last
year, and scored 11 goals as
a sophomore. Malachy will
play at the forward position.
He has a nose for the goal,
and has played club ball all
summer.
“Malachy has improved
his footwork and vision and
will require extra defenders,”
said Jensen.
Willitts returns at mid-
field and is expected to
play a big role both inside
and out. Ricker will play

On Saturday, August 22,
seven members of the Camp
Sherman Hasty Team along
with Black Butte Ranch
Police and Sisters Ranger
District personnel responded
to Scout Lake on a missing
child call.
A 7-year-old boy walked
away from his camp at about
8:30 a.m. He was located
at Suttle Lake at 9:30
a.m. sitting in a
fishing boat that
was tied to the
beach.
J e ff e r s o n
County SAR
Coordinator
Dave Blann
said more
than 35 camp-
ers and friends
of the family
were out looking
for the young man
when the team arrived.
“It’s very impressive how
total strangers come together
for a purpose when a young
child needs help,” Blann said.
The boy was returned to
his father after telling search-
ers how many squirrels he
chased during his adventure.

both midfield and defense.
Anson saw some action as a
swing player last season, and
returns this year bigger and
stronger. Greaney is a natu-
ral. He’s fast and athletic and
will play in the midfield.
Gannon saw some varsity
action at the end of the sea-
son last year. Jensen said that
Alec has a great sense for the
game, creates flow, and picks
up on nuances quickly.
Senior Seth Larson played
a lot of minutes on the JV
squad last year and joins the
varsity team this year. Jensen
said that Seth is a great team
player, who makes others
better. Senior Steen Johnson
returns to the Outlaws squad
after a year ’s absence.
According to Jensen, Steen
is athletic, savvy, and a hard
worker with a positive atti-
tude and great potential.
Freshmen Asher Bachtold
and Keaton Green are
the newbies on the team.
Bachtold will see time at
both midfield and forward,
and according to Jensen has
lots of playing experience
and a good understanding
of the game. Green is ath-
letic and a quick learner,
and will play wherever he is
needed.
Jensen said, “We return
more all-league players
than ever, and more play-
ers played over the summer.
They have all made great
improvement, and I have
high expectations that they
can achieve whatever they
want to.”
