8 Wednesday, May 18, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Boys golf competes at District tourney By Rongi Yost Correspondent The boys golf team par- ticipated in the 4A Special District 2 Tournament on Monday and Tuesday, May 9-10. Junction City led all teams on day one with a team score of 353, and went on to post a 363 on day two to take championship honors with a two-day total of 716. Sutherlin was runner-up with a two-day total of 736, Cottage Grove was third at 775, and Cascade placed fourth with a score of 812. Remaining scores were: North Marion (825), Stayton (824), Sweet Home (858), Sisters (862) and Newport (887). On Monday, Sisters posted a team score of 433, and Austin Lake shot a 48/50/98, which included four pars, to lead the Outlaws in the first round of play. “Austin is our best player, but he shot a couple sevens and eights in the round, and you can’t do that and be com- petitive,” said Coach Bill Mitchell. “As a team we had 35 strokes of seven or higher, six of which were 10 or over,” added Mitchell. “There’s no way to recover from bad holes like that.” Andrew Mayes carded a 55/51/106, Devin Robillard shot 61/54/115, and Kade Owen posted scores of 51/63/114. Patrick Dingeman finished with 72/66/138. On Tuesday, the Outlaws did a little better and finished with a team score of 429. Lake started out with a 47 on the front nine, and Mitchell told The Nugget he was excited about that and thought the boys might be able to knock off a couple of teams. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. Lake struggled and carded a 58 for a 105 finish. Mayes was consistent with a 53 on the front and back for a 106 total. Robillard started out well with a 47 on the front nine, which according to Mitchell was the best nine he’s had in a few years. Devin added 14 strokes on the back nine for 61 and a 108 finish. Owen carded a 62/52/114 and Wyatt Hernandez shot 54/56/110. Mitchell said, “We did a little better overall, but the back nine was not good. The boys need to do a better job of course management. Instead of trying to hit the ball through the trees, they need to chip it into the fair- way and take a stroke, rather than getting in more trouble and it costing them several extra strokes. “I was very pleased with Wyatt (Hernandez), who played day two. He shot a 110, which is very respect- able. He’s just a freshman and plans to work on his game over the summer.” Mitchell told The Nugget that Andrew Mayes was the most improved golfer. “This was Andrew’s first year of competitive golf, and he really played some good golf against tough competi- tion. His district rounds of 106/106 speaks to his consis- tency. He will improve and come out faster next season.” Mitchell added, “What I am most excited about ... is that the kids are already talk- ing about where we can finish next year, and perhaps make a run for the state tourney. We have all our players return- ing so that’s a plus, but they know they must work hard over the summer if they are ever going to figure out the game of golf!” COMPUTER-CONTROLLED PLASMA CUTTING Bringing the ancient art of blacksmith into the 21st century Pavement work underway The City of Sisters is closing in on completion of the Hood Avenue lighting and irrigation improvement project.

Man busted for meth near Sisters A 66-year-old Klamath County man was arrested in the early morning hours of May 10 after police made a traffic stop on Highway 20 just west of Sisters. According to law-enforce- ment reports, detectives with the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Street Crimes Unit developed information that James Worden would be traveling from the Willamette Valley to Deschutes County with a street-level shipment of methamphetamine, which he planned to sell within Deschutes County. With the assistance of the CODE (Central Oregon Drug Enforcement) team, depu- ties stopped Worden at four a.m. on Highway 20, outside Sisters. Detectives reported that “Worden was found to be in possession of methamphetamine consistent with amounts that would be delivered to smaller user- quantity dealers, along with packaging materials and digi- tal scales.” Worden was arrested and lodged at the Deschutes County Adult Jail on the following charges: Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine; Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine; and Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine. Worden resides in the rural La Pine area of Klamath County. The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office Street Crimes Unit focuses enforcement on street level drug cases and quality-of-life issues con- nected to property crimes, such as theft and burglaries in Deschutes County.
