Twelve teams attended the tourney and it was no sur- prise that Summit took top honors with a team score of 300. Runner-up was Mt. View with a score of 331. Ridgeview posted a 343 for a third-place finish. Sisters’ Kade Owen fin- ished with a decent score of 106 for Sisters, but just had too many high scores on individual holes. Owen hit his driver the best he’s hit all season, but had numerous three-putts. Devin Robillard finished at 119, and also struggled on the green, and had a difficult time putting. Emily Christen played at the Santiam Golf Club, in the District Preview event on Monday. Christen finished with a 102, despite the fact she shot an 11 on the par- four, No. 2 hole, and also had several three-putts. Coach Bill Mitchell told The Nugget he feels she will be successful at the district tournament and accomplish her goal, which is to break 100. Four days later, Kade Owen was Sisters’ only player that made it to the eight- team Summit Invitational at Broken Top. Summit took first at 299, Bend was runner- up at 307, and Lakeridge was third at 313. Owen shot a 134 last year at this event, and this year finished with a 108, which included two pars in the round. “Kade had five one-putt greens, which is a great accomplishment,” said Mitchell. “It was a beauti- ful day and we enjoyed one of the nicest courses in the Pacific Northwest.” Mitchell added, “There is nothing easy about playing 18 holes of golf and counting every shot, with no help from any teammates. And, right now Kade is the only player on the team willing to accept this challenge.” The boys and girls teams will play in the district tour- nament Monday and Tuesday May 11 and 12; the boys at Tokatee and the girls at the Santiam Golf Club. DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB? Sisters Middle School Symphonic Band students recently traveled to Eugene to expand their musical hori- zons and have a little fun. They accomplished both missions. “My goal was to expose the students to talented and professional musicians in hopes of expanding their view of what it could mean to be musicians in the real world,” said Tyler Cranor, instrumental music teacher at Sisters Middle School. Cranor shared the eco- nomic reality with his stu- dents that many symphony musicians hold additional jobs — such as being music teachers. In April, nine seventh- and eighth-graders from Symphonic Band enjoyed music clinics with Dr. Eric Wiltshire, director of ath- letic bands at University of Oregon, and with Brian Scott, percussionist with the Eugene Symphony. Also, the University’s graduate jazz combo played for the Sisters group, then answered the stu- dents’ questions. In the eve- ning, the students attended a Eugene Symphony Concert of Beethoven’s “Pastorale.” photo provided Sisters students play in Beall Concert Hall in eugene. “The trip also gave us another great place to perform and learn,” said Cranor. “We got to play in Beall Concert Hall, which is a world-class recital hall.” “My favorite part of the trip was definitely listen- ing to the jazz combo,” said Nathaniel Hicks, seventh- grade clarinet player. “The music they played was just so awesome.” “I learned so much from Dr. Wiltshire,” said Ethan Tolle, eighth-grade eupho- nium player. “He told the band that we are responsible for how we play, and not to only rely on Mr. Cranor but to let him be our tour guide through our musical journey.” The one-night trip cost only $50 per student, since additional funds were raised by Peggy Houge, who orga- nized a silent auction on the evening of a band and choir concert earlier in the school year. Cranor thanks Leah and David Tolle for being chap- erones on the two-day trip. Marcia Gluz with the Hult Center helped coordinate the visit.
