Girls basketball has tough week
By Rongi yost
Correspondent
The girls basketball team
lost both their games this past
week and dropped to a 2-3
record in league play. Sisters
fell 32-25 to the Tigers at
Junction City (JC) on Tuesday,
January 26, and at home three
days later were defeated 40-23
by the Elmira Falcons.
In Tuesday’s road game
against the Tigers, the Outlaws
struggled on the offensive
end, largely due to mental
mistakes. On the flip side,
Sisters did maintain fairly
strong defense throughout the
contest.
“For most of the game we
allowed one contested shot
and blocked out well, and they
were never really able to get
anything going inside,” said
Coach Casey Pallister.
Sisters trailed by six at
the close of the first quarter,
but narrowed the gap in the
second and entered the half
down by two, 13-11. The
Outlaws came out strong in
the third and battled back to
take a 21-19 lead. The Tigers

hit some outside shots in the
fourth and made a run that
gave them the advantage. The
Outlaws were unable to pick
things up on the offensive end,
and lost by seven.
Jules Meeter had a great
game. Meeter showed some
great defensive hustle, blocked
out well, and attacked the bas-
ket. Jules finished the game
with nine points, and was
five-for-nine from the free-
throw line. Olivia Stewart also
had a good game and finished
with eight points on the night.
“Jules played great,” said
Pallister. “This was really a
break-out game for her.”
Pallister told The Nugget
he felt that his team took
another step forward, despite
the loss.
“We know our defense can
keep us in games, but we need
to be able to have five play-
ers composed and attacking
on the offensive end to get the
job done,” said Pallister. “We
just had too many fundamen-
tal mistakes tonight.”
Three days later, the
Outlaws dropped another
game, this time against a
tough Elmira squad.
The Falcons brought a
balanced attack, with seven
players contributing points in
the game. Sisters struggled
to remain disciplined in their
offense, and had a hard time
adjusting to the Falcons’ vari-
ous defensive sets.

Sisters started out well
and held a 9-7 lead as teams
headed into the second quar-
ter. In the second period, the
Falcons racked up 15 points,
while the Outlaws were held
to three. At the half, Elmira
was on top 22-12.
Sisters outscored the
Falcons 7-5 in the third, but
Elmira dominated the final
period and recorded the win.
Nina Horner led the
Outlaws with 11 points and
nine rebounds.

Alexa Stewart did a
great job on defense for the
Outlaws. Stewart limited the
Falcons’ best player, Miranda
Jensen, to seven points, and
only two field goals, which
she scored in the first quarter.
Meeter was a strong defensive
presence in the post.
Sisters was scheduled
to have a bye on Tuesday,
February 2. On Friday,
February 5, the Outlaws will
play at Sutherlin.
