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!”

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.
