Wine-
Boys soccer team defeats Molalla
tasting
fundraiser
on tap
By Rongi yost
Correspondent
Rotary Club of Sisters
is bringing back its popular
wine-tasting fundraiser on
Friday, October 9 — with a
few fun changes.
Now dubbed Rendezvous
in the Pines, the event will
be at Aspen Lakes and fea-
ture wine-tasting from Ribera
Vineyards and beer-tasting
from Three Creeks Brewery.
The theme is Oktoberfest, so
bratwurst, roast pork, and sal-
ads are on the menu. There is
a rumor that accordion music
may be heard, but lederhosen is
optional. Rotary’s dessert auc-
tion will round out the meal.
Silent-auction items will be
on display, cases of wine and
local craft beer will be raffled.
The main beneficiary of the
evening is Sisters’ nonprofit
Seed to Table. This garden-
based education and wellness
program brings fresh food
and experience to students in
Sisters schools. It is in need of
a two-wheel walk-behind BCS
tractor to increase the garden
area. Seed to Table personnel
will be at the event to share
about the program.
Surplus funds will go
toward other Sisters Rotary
programs such as the first-
grade Books for Kids and stu-
dent sponsorship of six young
people in Nepal through
Sisters-based Ten Friends.
Tickets are $40 each,
include wine- or beer-tasting
and dinner. Purchase tickets
from any Sisters Rotarian, at
US Bank, or call Lei Darcey
at 808-741-1642.
The Outlaws notched a 3-2
win at Molalla on Thursday,
September 10, and, playing at
home two days later, walked
off the field with a 1-1 tie
with Henley.
In Thursday’s action,
Molalla scored on a scramble
12 minutes into the contest to
take a 1-0 lead. Ryan Funk
came out of the box to make
the save, but Molalla was
able to chip it over into the
goal.
Five minutes later, Colton
Mannhalter trapped a pass
from Jadon Bachtold outside
the left side of the 18, made a
quick turn, and hit a left-foot
shot to the upper-left V to tie
the game at 1-1.
Malachy Sundstrom
scored in the 35th minute
to put the Outlaws on top
2-1. Tristan Kaczmarek
took a shot from a set-piece
at 25 yards out, and the
ball deflected off a Molalla
defender. Sundstrom was
able to secure the ball, and
score a left-foot shot past the
keeper.
Four minutes later, the
Outlaws scored again. Sean
Willitts assisted Bachtold on
a cross from the right side for
an eight-yard finish. At the
half, Sisters held a 3-1 lead.
Molalla scored their final
goal on a penalty kick with
less than a minute left on the
clock.
Sisters controlled posses-
sion and tempo for most of
the game.
Coach Rob Jensen said,
“Sean did a really good job
distributing to the wings, and
creating transition and flow.
Malachy kept his engine run-
ning all night, and put lots of
pressure on the defenders,
and our wings did the same.
Our big players played
big, and we saw good min-
utes from everyone off the
bench. It was a well-rounded
game.”
At home on Saturday, the
Outlaws ended their pre-sea-
son play with a 1-1 tie with
Henley.
Henley scored at the
10-minute mark off a header
and took a 1-0 lead. At the
50-minute mark in the sec-
ond half, Sean Willitts sent
the ball into the upper-left
corner from 23 yards out for
the score, and tied the game
at 1-1.
The score held until the
final whistle blew. Sisters
out-shot Henley 17-7. The
Hornets only had two shots
on frame, while Sisters had
nine. The Outlaws controlled
possession for most of the
game, and had lots of oppor-
tunities to score. Henley’s
goalie had some outstanding
saves against some very good
shots from the Outlaws.
Sisters will open league
play at Sweet Home on
Thursday, September 17.
