Gander noted that — Coach Bim Gander Biggers and Schaab are By Rongi Yost both good athletes and the most-improved doubles team from last season. Andrew Stengel, Johnson and Georgyfalvy will most likely see action as experi- enced seniors somewhere in the line-up. Commins is a three-year varsity starter and will most likely play at the No. 2 sin- gles spot. Michael is the tall- est player on the squad at 6 feet 4 inches. “We hope to add power to his (Commins) game to com- pliment the steadiness he’s shown in years past,” said Gander. Senior Colin Reinert, a foreign exchange student from Germany, will join the Outlaws this year and play No. 1 singles. “Colin is our most expe- rienced player,” said Gander. “The majority of the top male tennis players on the profes- sional circuit all come from Europe, and we are fortu- nate to have a young German player on our team this year.” Seniors Kennedy Hall and Gabe Willitts will join the team as first-year tennis play- ers, as well as junior Pierce Wehrle. Four sophomores, Jonathan Gurney, Josh Kizziar, Anson Ricker and Sean Willitts will round out the new players. “These new players are showing signs of early prom- ise,” said Gander. “It’s nice to have some younger play- ers on the team since we have so many seniors.” Gander told The Nugget that the strong core of play- ers they have back from last year, along with Reinert, should give them a very com- petitive team again this year. Although the Outlaws look to be competitive, their competition has improved also. Henley looks to be strong this year, North Bend is always a tennis power- house, and Klamath Union has a couple of very good young players. “Given the strengths of the other district teams, we’ll have to perform at the high- est level this year to duplicate our No. 2 finish at district last year,” said Gander. The Outlaws will open their season with a three- way match at Madras on Tuesday, March 17, and will compete against Madras and Redmond.

ODFW plans new youth fishing pond An abandoned fish hatchery site near Camp Sherman could find new life providing youth fishing opportunities under a plan being proposed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The agency will discuss its plans to create a small fishing pond on the 15-acre property it owns on Spring Creek at a pub- lic meeting on Tuesday, March 17, at the Camp Sherman Community Hall. The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. According to Jen Luke, ODFW fish biologist in Bend, the one-acre pond would be stocked with trout and open only to anglers 17 years old and younger. “We think a small, youth- only fishing pond would strike the right balance between cre- ating a new fishing opportunity while maintaining the natural environment of the site,” she said. The pond could also be used for smolt acclimation and egg hatchboxes for Chinook salmon. A unique, innovative healthcare practice Chiropractic adjustments head to foot.
