Boys basketball third in league standings
By rongi yost
Correspondent
The boys basketball team
split their games on the hard-
wood last week, and cur-
rently hold the third-place
spot in the Sky-Em League
standings.
Sisters lost 55-35 on the
road to fifth-ranked Cottage
Grove (CG) on Tuesday,
February 9, and three days
later buckled down and
notched a 55-51 home win
over the Huskies.
In Tuesday’s action, the
Outlaws struggled to score
in the first half, but played
tough enough defense to only
trail by eight at the half.
The third quarter proved to
be a disaster, as the Outlaws
had their worst frame of
the season. Sisters got out
of their tempo, and tried to
shoot quick shots that led to
multiple transition points by
the Lions. The Outlaws were
outscored 30-9 in the period.
In the final quarter, the
Outlaws came back and out-
scored CG 19-8, but it wasn’t
enough to dig them out of the
hold they’d dug in the third
quarter.
Keegan Greaney led the
Outlaws’ scoring effort with
11 points. Hayes Moore con-
tributed eight points, and Jack
Berg added eight.
Tyler Head, Scott Waddell,
and Isaac Mackenzie all did
a great job on the glass, and
shared the boards.
“We did not turn the ball
over too much, but our defen-
sive transition against their
break really hurt us,” said
Coach Rand Runco. “It was
a tough loss, but we knew it
was going to be a tough one
on the road.
“It was not like us to break
on the defensive end, but we
did for one quarter. CG has
very quick scoring guards
and wings, and you really
need to score consistently to
stay with them.”
Three days later, the
Outlaws posted a win over the
visiting Huskies. It was Pink
Night for the home game, and
the boys all wore pink shoot-
ing shirts to honor the fight
against breast cancer.
Sweet Home started out
tough. Five different players
scored in the first quarter and
hit tough shots. Tyler Head
and Scott Waddell hit shots
that kept the Outlaws close,
and at the close of the first
quarter the Outlaws trailed by
just one, 11-10.
Sisters stayed steady, and
everyone contributed in the
second quarter. The Outlaws
locked down on defense and
Sisters outscored the Huskies
12-8, and entered the half up
by three.
The Outlaws stayed
focused. Five different play-
ers scored and a great team
effort beat the Huskies 13-9
in the third quarter. Sisters

built a seven-point lead as
they headed into the final
period.
In the fourth, Keegan
Greaney poured in 10 of his
18 points, half of the Outlaws’
fourth-quarter points.
Greaney led the Outlaws
with 18 points, Tyler Head
scored 11, Scott Waddell
contributed 10, and Steen
Johnson added five points.
Tyler Head pulled down
six boards, Steen Johnson
had four assists, and Hayes
Moore had three assists.
Runco told The Nugget
that the Outlaws played solid
defense, except defending
the three-point line. Sisters
allowed four open three-
point shots, which gave the
Huskies a total of five threes,
over one-third of their points.
“Other than giving up the
three-point line, our defense
was impressive for the entire
game,” said Runco.
The win gave the Outlaws
a 4-4 league record. Cottage
Grove is the frontrunner with
a 7-1 record and the league
title. Junction City is 5-3 in
second place, and Sisters
holds third place. Elmira and
Sutherlin are tied for fourth,
both with a 3-3 record.
Sisters will wrap up league
play next week. The Outlaws
were to play at home against
Junction City on Tuesday,
February 16. On Thursday,
February 18, the Outlaws will
play at Elmira.
our league is very
tough from the top to
the bottom. It is a really
fun year with parity
from top to bottom.
— Coach rand runco
“We need to keep improv-
ing and finish strong this
next week,” said Runco.
“Keys are going to be con-
tinuing our tough defense,
scoring steadily, and limit-
ing turnovers. Our league is
very tough from the top to
the bottom. It is a really fun
year with parity from top to
bottom.”
We appreciate you, Sisters!
