team.
Sisters learned from their
mistakes, and bounced back
to defeat Baker 64-42. The
Outlaws put forth a great
effort and very good team
play. They were able to
extend their lead and really
push hard at the end.
The Outlaws played
excellent defense on one
of the best offensive play-
ers they’ve faced this year.
Sand, from Baker, is a hand-
ful, and Steen Johnson did
an outstanding job on him.
Johnson had backup from
Keegan Greaney, and the duo
held Sand to 11 points in the
game.
Sisters was outstand-
ing in their defensive effort,
and they shared the ball
well on offense. The key to
the game was the defense
and the team’s unselfish
play. Greaney attacked the
Bulldogs aggressively and
scored 20 points. Steen
Johnson tallied 10 points and
first-year post, Connor Lake,
added 11 points and nine
boards.
In addition to Lake, Scott
Waddell and Tyler Head were
a force on the boards, and
also combined for 13 points.
Jake Larson and Ben Saba
also played a great defensive
game.
“This was a well-bal-
anced effort from posts and
guards,” said Runco. “It was
nice to get all of the JV play-
ers in the game. They work
so hard each day in practice
pushing the varsity. It was
nice to see such a great effort
from everybody after a tough
first game.”
Sisters defeated Mazama
85-75 in a very exciting final
game for a third-place finish.
The Vikings lost by four
to No. 1-ranked Philomath in
their first game of the tourna-
ment, which put them in the
consolation bracket with the
Outlaws. Mazama had a ter-
rific individual player, Curtis
Anderson, who was relent-
less in his attack and offen-
sive rebounding.
Mazama started the game
extremely hot, and went
6-for-6 from the three-point
line in the first quarter. They
shot 85 percent from the field
in the first half, and only had
one lay-in.
The Vikings hit tough
contested shots, and the
Outlaws basically traded
threes for twos.
“Their goal was to force
us into an up-tempo game,
but we knew if we took high-
percentage shots we could
wear them down if we ran
a little more offense. We
encouraged the boys to stick
with the game plan and we
would wear them down,”
Runco said.
Sisters made their big
move in the final quarter, and
took the lead with three min-
utes left on the clock. The
Outlaws had a few costly
turnovers in the final seconds
of the game, and the Vikings
hit a shot to tie it up and send
the game into overtime.
The Outlaws worked hard
and outscored the Vikings
12-7 in overtime to earn the
win in the wild game.
Greaney put up 27
points for the Outlaws, and
Tyler Head added 16. Steen
Johnson scored 12 points,
Hayes Moore tallied 10
points, and Connor Lake
added eight. Ben Saba hit a
big three in the final quarter
and finished the game with
six points.
Lake came off the bench
and sparked the team with
energy, great rebounding,
some big buckets, and he
dove for balls, which really
energized the team.
“We had a few too many
turnovers, but overall we
played a good game,” said
Runco. “The turnaround
really was when Connor
came in with energy and Jake
(Larson) came in and shut
down Riley Kinshaw, who
had hit five three-point shots
in a row.”
Wa d d e l l a n d I s a a c
Mackenzie also played great
minutes for the Outlaws in a
great team effort that got the
win.
Runco said, “We learned
a lot in the tournament, and
that we have to play as a
team, share the ball, and play
with energy,”

American Fur Company out-

(on the border of modern-day
North Dakota and Montana).
Hunting for a trading post
was an easier life than wad-
ing in freezing streams to trap
beaver. Safer, too, or so you’d
think.
In 1833, Glass relocated
to Fort Cass, near the con-
fluence of the Big Horn and
Yellowstone rivers in what is
now Montana. Leaving the
fort with two companions in
the spring of the year, Glass
was ambushed by his old
nemesis, the Arikara. This
time, he didn’t make it. He
was shot and scalped. Old
Glass, the ultimate survivor,
had “gone under.”

“The Revenant” is a fic-

inspired by the Hugh Glass
epic. In place of the rolling,

grassy plains and brush-
choked riverbanks of the
Dakotas visionary director
Alejandro González Iñárritu
set his story in suitably epic,
iconic terrain — in dense for-
est and among high moun-
tain crags. The plot revolves
around enmity between Glass
and Fitzgerald and the quest
for vengeance fires the story,
where it fizzled in fact.
Yet for all its fictionaliza-
tions, the production team
went to considerable lengths
to pursue authenticity in
material culture and in the
native languages spoken in
the film, in an effort to bring
verisimilitude to the story.
“The Revenant” might
best be seen as legend and
folklore. And that’s appropri-
ate enough — for Hugh Glass
was a campfire story among
his fellow mountain men
even before his scalp adorned
the lodge of an Arikara
warrior.
