Outlaws advance to first round
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Outlaws had to match
up against Junction City on
Tuesday, February 23, in a
seeding game, since both
teams tied for a second-
place finish in Sky-Em play.
The game would determine
which team would represent
the league in the second- and
third-place positions.
The Outlaws lost 55-20 to
the No. 6-ranked Tigers. After
the first quarter the Tigers held
a 4-2 lead. Both teams put forth
strong defensive efforts, but
neither team shot the ball well.
Coach Rand Runco told
The Nugget that it was a very
physical contest, and no calls
were made. Sisters only had
eight possessions the entire
first quarter. The Outlaws
went one-for-six with one
turnover.
Sisters held their turnovers
to three in the first half, but
could not put the ball in the
bucket. No fouls were called
the entire first quarter, and only
three in the half. The Outlaws
went two-for-18 from the field
in the half, and most of the
shots they drove to the rim.
The same scenario fol-
lowed in the third quarter,
and the Outlaws continued
to fall behind. Sisters finally
started to get to the line in the
final period, and scored 15 of
their 20 points in the quarter,
but still lost the contest by 24
points.
“It was disappointing after
coming off two great wins, but
we regrouped and got ready
for playoffs,” stated Runco.
“We learned some valuable
lessons and moved on.”

Four days later, the
Outlaws gave an outstanding
effort on the road against the
North Bend (NB) Bulldogs,
and recorded a 44-39 victory.
NB is a huge school with a big
team, and they are one of the
best defensive teams in the
state. The Bulldogs were sec-
ond behind Marshfield in their
league.
The Outlaws were short-
handed, as Steen Johnson was
unable to play due to an elbow
injury, but Ben Saba and Jack
Berg both stepped up to fill his
role.
Runco said the Outlaws
faced plenty of adversity, but
hung tough throughout the
game.
Sisters trailed the Bulldogs
11-7 to close out the first quar-
ter, but caught them in the sec-
ond and took the lead. At the

Our defensive effort
was excellent, holding
them to below 40.
— Rand Runco
“Our defensive effort was
excellent, holding them to
below 40,” said Runco. “It was
really a team effort, and keep-
ing them off the glass was a
great effort. They were a load
and hit the glass extremely
hard. We were so impressed
with our grit and toughness
down the stretch.”
The Outlaws will face the
Henley Hornets in the first
round of state playoffs on
Saturday, March 5.
