Slow-
Outlaws crush the Cowboys
cooking
makes for
delectable
feast

Sisters Park & Recreation
District (SPRD) brings the
second Buried Beef & Brew
Feast Saturday, September 24,
at Fir Street Park.
The star attraction at
SPRD’s Buried Beef & Brew
event is the BEEF.
Craig Rullman, who will
oversee the 12-hour roasting
process, described the method:
“You dig a hole in the
ground and you create a big
bed of coals,” he said. “You
want those coals to be as
coal-y as you can possibly get
’em.”
The meat is treated with
specialty rubs, then wrapped
in water-soaked burlap, then
foil. It’s put in the ground
and covered for a very slow
roasting.
“It’s a long, slow cook,”
Rullman explained.
That’s what makes the beef
so extraordinarily tender and
flavorful.
“Twelve hours later, if
everything goes right and the
planets line up, it’s finger-
lickin’ good,” Rullman said.
Buried Beef & Brew starts
at 5:30 p.m. with the serv-
ing of the food and brews,
then Dry Canyon Stampede
will get your feet moving,
your hands clapping and your
voices singing.
This event is sponsored
by Bank of the Cascades and
Three Creeks Brewing Co.
Tickets ($12 for adults and
$5 for youth under 18) are
available from SPRD: online
at www.sistersrecreation.com,
by phone at 541-549-2091, or
stop by the office at 1750 W.

a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Outlaws defeated
the Cowboys 35-7 at Crook
County on Friday, September
16, to record a 2-1 record
overall.
Sisters scored two touch-
downs, and held the Cowboys
scoreless in the first quar-
ter. Jacob Gurney scored the
first TD midway through the
period when he intercepted
the ball and returned it 35
yards for the score. Brother
Johnny Gurney capped a
10-play drive into the end
zone on a two-yard run.
Minam Cravens’ kicks were
good and at the close of the
first quarter Sisters was on
top 14-0.
In the second quarter,
quarterback Tanner Head
hit Christopher Luz with a
68-yard TD pass. Cravens’
kick was good, and at the half
the Outlaws held a 21-0 lead.
Head threw a 70-yard pass
to Luz for a TD in the third,
and on the first play of the
final period, Johnny Gurney
caught a 43-yard pass.
Cravens’ kicks were good and
the Outlaws stretched their
lead to 35-0.
Crook County was able to
get on the scoreboard with 7
points in the final quarter.
The Outlaws wrapped
up the night with 446 yards
of offense, with 156 of that
on the ground. Yardage was
spread throughout the ball
carriers, with no one player
recording more than 40 yards
rushing.
Tanner Head had the best
game of his career, throwing
for 284 yards, and hitting the
mark on 20 of his 26 attempts.
Luz led the receivers with
138 yards on two catches,
and Johnny Gurney added 90
yards on seven catches.
Coach Gary Thorson noted
that the offensive line, which
consists of Jacob Gurney,
Joel Miller, Brady Wessel,
Jaden Condel, Zach Gullick,
and Jake Welch were solid
all night long, and without
a doubt were the key to the
Outlaws’ success.
“They gave Tanner plenty
of time to throw and opened
up the run lanes very well,”
said Thorson.
Thorson told The Nugget
that the Outlaws’ defense had
their best performance of the
year, as well.
“Our secondary was
pretty sharp all night, and
we got another pick from
Tyler Friend, in addition to
the one from Jacob Gurney,”
said Thorson. “The second-
ary players (Christopher Luz,
Will Miner, and Tyler Friend)
did a good job of keeping
things in front, and once again
the linebackers and defensive
line controlled the run game.
...we saw more and
more confidence building
in our players, and that
will be huge as we head
into league play.

“This was a good night for
our program as we started to
break out offensively. As the
game progressed, we saw
more and more confidence
building in our players, and
that will be huge as we head
into league play. We have a
handful of kids who can all
do some damage on the offen-
sive side of the ball, and our
offensive coordinator (Neil
Fendall) did a great job of get-
ting the ball to them, and the
players executed some plays
very well.”
On Friday, September
23, Sisters will play at home
against Sutherlin, and will
pay tribute to all of the EMS
services in the area. All of
