Girls tennis loses
tough match
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The girls tennis team lost
8-0 to Redmond on Thursday,
March 17, in their first outing
of the season.
Alana Lukens and Mykaila
Hartman (No. 1 doubles)
played in what proved to be
the match of the day. It was a
nailbiter from the start, with
the first three games going to
deuce. The duo finally fell in
a match-breaker with scores
of 7-5, 6-7 (3-7), and 5-10.
“I don’t think either
team ever led by more than
a game in either set,” said
Coach Susan Fullhart. “This
was a huge change for both
Mykaila and Alana, who
have never played doubles
together. Alana played on
the No. 4 team last year, and
Mykaila played No. 2 singles.
Mykaila was awesome from
the back court. She kept the
ball consistently deep, and
set Alana up at the net, where
she was absolutely tenacious.
The girls lost some steam at
the very end, and the cold
was really effecting Mykaila.
She pretty much lost feeling
in her hands, which makes it
hard to play. This was a great
match, and I was frankly
– We can straighten ‘em out –
surprised at how well they
rose to the occasion!”
Mary Florian lost to
Jessalyn Losa 4-6, 1-6, in No.
4 singles, but still played a
great match. Florian was able
to get a lot of balls back, and
Fullhart noted that her con-
sistent play from the base-
line makes her a natural for
singles play.
Fullhart said, “Even
though we got clobbered, I
was encouraged by — and
proud of — the girls’ per-
formances today. I predict
that by the end of the season,
when we’ve had a little more
time on the court and have
our line-up sorted out, we
will be a force to be reckoned
with.
“I knew we weren’t going
to win a lot of matches, as we
have had very little court time
due to the recent weather con-
ditions. And, we have 22 girls
this year, and half of them are
new to the team this year.
That makes for a rocky start,
but I see a ton of potential
with this group. They are an
amazing group of girls, and
an absolute delight to coach.”
The Lady Outlaws will
resume play with a match
at Stayton on Thursday,
March 31.
Aglow International, an
interdenominational organi-
zation of Christian women
and men, will hold an out-
reach meeting in Sisters on
Saturday, April 2.
Aglow began in 1967 in
Seattle, when four Christian
women decided to meet
for lunch to encourage one
another in their faith, with-
out denominational boundar-
ies. From those four women,
monthly luncheons began
springing up all over the
Seattle area, in other cities
and states. Since then, Aglow
has become one of the largest
international women’s orga-
nizations in the world, with
over 4,300 fellowship groups
in the U.S. and internation-
ally. Since 2004 men have
joined Aglow under Men of
Issachar.
At the grassroots level,
Aglow consists of local
groups who meet for mutual
encouragement and support
as they look outward with
an eye to transforming their
communities with purposeful
acts of kindness. An estimated
200,000 women and men
meet together each month
through local Aglow groups
— the heart of the organiza-
tion. More than 21,000 Aglow
leaders worldwide minister in
their communities. An esti-
mated 17 million people each
Wishing Everyone
a Happy Easter!

Community meetings are
called Aglow Lighthouse
Fellowships. Aglow
Lighthouses are designed
to spiritually impact com-
munities around the world.
There are different types of
Lighthouses — community,
neighborhood, and work-
place. The design of each
Lighthouse differs; the foun-
dation is the same. Each
Lighthouse is led by quali-
fied leaders who seek God’s
heart for the community, are
aligned with Aglow’s pur-
pose and mission, attend area
leadership training events and
strive to attend events when
possible.
A Community Lighthouse
is a public gathering meeting
regularly for refreshing, rela-
tionship-building, networking
and community outreach. The
