Girls basketball stymied
by the Bulldogs
The Lady Outlaws were
completely shut down in
their league opener at home
against Sutherlin on Friday,
January 15.
The two-time state cham-
pions proved they were
worthy of the title. The
Bulldogs have won 70 of
their last 71 games, have the
No. 1 defense in the state
this year, and hold teams to
an average of 20 points per
game.
The Bulldogs jumped out
quick against the Outlaws
and took a 19-3 lead to close
out the first quarter. They
held the Outlaws to just six
points for the remainder of
the game, two points in each
quarter.
Coach Casey Pallister had
few words to say but did note
Lexie Stewart and Meaghan
Greaney.
“Lexie’s on-ball defense
was very impressive, and
I was also excited to see
Meaghan play excellent
defense for varsity, and
get a bunch of rebounds
in both the JV and varsity
games.
Olivia Stewart scored five
points for Sisters, including
one three-pointer.
Pallister told The Nugget

that he was pleased with the
performance of his younger
players, especially on the
defensive end.
The JV squad had much
better luck on the court and
defeated Sutherlin in triple
overtime, with a game-
winning shot from Greaney.
After the win, several JV
players played one quarter in
the varsity game against the
very tough defending state
champions.
