The boys lacrosse team
fell 11-2 to Churchill on
Saturday, April 9. Sisters
started their season with a
close win over Burns and
have since lost three straight
games. The young squad
hopes to turn that around as
they improve their skills each
week.
In the game against
Churchill, the Outlaws were
held scoreless the first two
quarters of the contest and
trailed 7-0 at the half. Sisters
was able to get a goal in the
third to get on the scoreboard.
The goal came from Ethan
Morgan, with the assist cred-
ited to Jude Carhart. At the
close of the third quarter the
Outlaws were down 8-1.
Churchill scored three
more goals in the final quar-
ter, and Trey Stadeli punched
in an unassisted shot for
Sisters’ final goal of the
contest.
“Trey’s goal happened
during a man-up situation,”
said Coach Eric Wentzel.
“He took advantage of the
turf field and a screen of the
goalie to put a low shot on
goal, which the goalie could
not see.”
Matt Harris led the
Outlaws in ground balls with
seven, and has led the squad
in this area for the past four
games.
Tyler Friend took the
majority of the faceoffs, with
an approximate 50 percent
win rate. Wentzel told The
Nugget that this is Friend’s
first year of lacrosse, and he
improves every game.
Wentzel commented on
the game.
“We continue to struggle
playing on turf fields, which
present challenges since we
are unable to practice on our
natural grass fields,” said
Wentzel. “This will benefit in
the years to come as we play

The boys golf team played
at Awbrey Glen on Thursday,

score of 433. Summit took
first at 312, and Bend was

Crook County (454), La Pine
(583), and Ridgeview (620).
Austin Lake led the
Outlaws with a score of 99.
Lake shot a 52 on the front
nine, bettered his score by
five shots on the back nine,
and finished with two pars in
the round.
Andrew Mayes, in his
second competitive match,
carded a 52 on the front nine

the ball well, and hit almost
all of the fairways.

on them more.
“The area where have
been seeing consistent
improvement from game
to game is the play of our
defense. The defensive group
as a whole is communicat-
ing with each other, which
helps close down the oppos-
ing offense. The challenge
is that we are playing on the
defensive side too much,
which ends up wearing down
the team. We need to work on
creating space for ourselves
on the offensive side, so we
can generate goals. And, we
need to focus on our patience
and not force passes, which
can lead to early turnovers.”
Wentzel made special
note of senior captain David
Keeton and Tyler Friend
(sophomore).
“David is doing a great job
of leading our young defense,
which is evident in our play
in this area, and is improv-
ing from week to week. Tyler
was willing to step up and
take face-offs for the team.
Prior to this game he had
taken roughly two, and in this
game he took about 15 and
handled the pressure.”
The Outlaws were to play
at home against Summit
on Tuesday, April 12. On
Thursday, April 14, Sisters
will play at Ridgeview, and
two days later the Outlaws
will host visiting Roseburg.
Saturday’s game will be
held at Reed Stadium
and is scheduled to begin
at 2 p.m.

“Andrew improved
his game by 20 shots, and
Awbrey Glen is a tougher
course than Tokatee,” said
Coach Bill Mitchell. “I was
very proud of his effort.”
Devin Robillard shot a
56 on the front and back for
a final score of 112. Kade
Owen shot a 58 on the front
and the back nine for 116.
Mitchell told The Nugget
that the putting greens were
atrocious, which made it very
hard for all the players to putt
well.
“They put a lot of sand
on the grass, and it was
almost like putting through
a sand trap,” said Mitchell.
“That affected all the kids’
scores.”
The golfers were to com-
pete at Bend Country Club on
Monday, April 11. Top teams
from all over the state were
expected to be in attendance.

One challenge of living a good life is learning how to balance the realities
of today with what lies ahead. In other words, it’s important to live in the
present, yet wise to also plan for the future. Change is always around the
corner, whether of our own making or due to the course of time. You owe it
to your future self to consider what you’d like the next chapter of your life
to be. Here are four ways to constructively think ahead.
1. Be intentional. Take time to articulate what you hope to experience
in the next phase of your life. Whether you envision your future to include
starting your own business, moving to a new job or new career, dedicating
more time to volunteer work or entering into a secure retirement — it’s
all good. The more detailed you can be, the better. There’s something
empowering and motivating about naming your goals and claiming them
for yourself. You only have one life, so give yourself the opportunity to
reach for the experiences that will be most meaningful to you and bring
you a sense of fulfi llment that money can’t buy.
2. Make saving an ongoing priority. When change comes along, it’s
easier to take a leap of faith with a fi nancial safety net in place. Regular
contributions to savings in various forms — bank accounts, Certifi cates
of Deposit, IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans, mutual funds,
stocks and bonds — all can help you weather potential fi nancial hiccups
or storms that may arise, not to mention their importance for the day your
working and earning life comes to a close. Make saving a regular activity
and turn it into muscle memory that you’ll be more likely to fl ex in the event
of a windfall.
3. Stay covered. Insurance is a product we all should have, yet hope
we never have to use. Your insurance needs will change over time,
making it especially important to periodically review your coverage levels.
Homeowner’s, auto and even health insurance are required by law, but
don’t stop there. Disability and life insurance policies, as well as annuities
designed to provide a reliable income stream, may give you peace of mind
that you and your loved ones can have fi nancial security if the unexpected
occurs. A will and health directives are also helpful documents that can
make life easier under diffi cult circumstances.
4. Establish a solid plan. Change can be scary, but it also is what
keeps life interesting and exciting. You can give yourself a better chance
of succeeding in the next phase of life by establishing fi nancial guardrails.
With a well-defi ned path to help guide saving and investing, you will have
a clear framework for your fi nancial life that also refl ects your personal
mission. Work with a qualifi ed fi nancial advisor to create a savings and
retirement plan designed to help you reach your goals at all of the stages
of life. Once your plan is in place, revisit it on a regular basis with your
advisor to ensure it takes your changing life circumstances and needs into
account.
