Wednesday, May 11, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Girls tennis edged out by North Marion By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws played at home against North Marion on Thursday, May 5. The match ended in a 4-4 tie, and North Marion edged out Sisters with sets won 10-9. Sisters got a win at No. 2 singles from Mary Florian, and earned victories in three of their doubles matches. F l o ri an d efeat ed K. Jackson 2-6, 7-5, 6-3, to record her second big win in a row. Mary got clobbered in her first set, fought back to win a close second set, and then claimed the match in the third. “Mary is so fun to watch,” said Coach Susan Fullhart. “She is fiercely competitive, but always looks like she’s having fun. She served really well today, but her bread and butter is her fighting spirit, and it was on full display today.” Alana Lukens and Hawley Harrer (No. 1 doubles) beat L. Grigoriff and O. Christanson in a tight 7-5, 7-5 victory. Lukens and Harrer teamed up for the first time, and made a good team. “Hawley served well throughout the match, and Alana was a tigress at the net,” said Fullhart. “The thing about Alana and Hawley is that they are both solid from everywhere on the court. Both are just excellent athletes.” Mykaila Hartman and Emily Skalda (No. 2 doubles) dominated play in their 6-1, 6-2 victory over R. Heffner and E. Morgan. “Mykaila is just an incred- ible team player,” said Fullhart. “I can put her any- where because she can play with anyone. And, she proved that again today. She and Emily were probably a little over-qualified for this match, but they took it seriously and got it done.” Ashley Adams and Maggie Bidasolo wrapped up the Outlaws wins at the No. 4 doubles spot. The duo defeated K. Cobb and K. Thacker 4-6, 6-4 (10-7) in a great match. Adams and Bidasolo lost a tight first set, but knew they could fight back. “The first thing out of Ashley’s mouth after that first-set loss was ‘we can do this’,” said Fullhart. “And they did. North Marion wanted to get on the road, so we decided against a third set, and played a match-breaker instead. “They fought for every point today, and that’s why they won, plain and simple.” ARTS: Community celebration features gypsy jazz combo Continued from page 1 displayed in 16 Sisters busi- nesses, which are sponsoring the stroll.

We’re look- ing forward to a great turn- out for the parade, stroll and free concert, to celebrate the amazing art in our com- munity,” said Sisters Folk Festival Managing Director Ann Richardson. “Saturday is a very impor- tant evening, created to refill the SFF coffers for future art and music education in Sisters,” said Development Director Katy Yoder. “It’s such a unique experience, we have patrons joining us for the auction from all over Oregon.” Americana Project and visual arts students will be volunteering in a variety of jobs. “Including the students helps them understand what it takes to put on a fund- raiser like this and helps them gain the skills to put on their own events,” said Yoder. Ponderosa Forge owner Jeff Wester and his crew will rearrange the working forge to accommodate over 350 guests. Entertainment is pro- vided by 3 Leg Torso and the dinner is provided by Tate & Tate Catering, who have cre- ated an Asian-inspired buffet.
