Wednesday, October 19, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Volleyball team nabs league title By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws defeated Sweet Home and Elmira to secure the league title. Sisters beat the Huskies 25-23, 25-12, and 25-18 at home on Tuesday, October 11, and two days later tallied scores of 25-15, 25-8, 25-13 to take down the Falcons on their home court. Sisters served well as a team and were very consistent in their passing in Tuesday’s match-up at home against the Huskies. But on the flip side, their offense suffered. They committed numerous unforced errors, which kept two of the sets close. Elmira celebrated their senior night on Thursday, and Sisters had quite a wait before they finally hit the court and started the match. The Outlaws came out tired, played flat, and had a hard time jumping well to hit the ball. Despite their difficulties, the squad made a quick sweep of the Falcons.

Their record this year is a long stretch from three sea- sons ago at 0-6. In their first game they took down La Pine 44-6, followed by a 52-12 victory over Warm Springs. Their third contest was a 26-20 win over Burns. “This game was a real dog-fight, but in the end, our boys fought hard and just wanted it more,” said Quandt. “And it can down to the last two minutes!” PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Jessie Brigham digs one off the floor for the Outlaws. court, and he tried out differ- ent line-ups to try and find the one that will give them their best shot at state. The Outlaws again served the ball well, and Hawley Harrer and Alex Hartford both had great serving runs of between seven and 10 points in a row, including multiple aces. Brooke Knirk, who nor- mally plays at middle, was moved to an outside hitter, and played well at that posi- tion. Emma Houck did a good job in the middle. Jessie Brigham was hurt in the first set and had to come out for the remainder of the match, but most likely will be able to play in the state playoffs the first weekend in November. The Outlaws are unde- feated at 9-0 and were to wrap up league play with senior night on Monday, October 17, against Junction City. Jones told The Nugget the Outlaws want to finish strong on Monday and then begin prep- aration for the playoffs. PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Sisters Middle School Outlaws are building a strong program.
