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.
Coach Rod Jones was able

Middle sihool football
going strong
Despite losing a hard-
fought game in Madras last
week, the Sisters Middle
School Outlaws are having a
great season.
“Our boys are playing the
best I’ve seen since I started
coaching three years ago,”
said Charles Quandt.
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!”

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.
