Wednesday, December 7, 2016 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Lady Outlaws corral Crook County By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws kicked off pre-season play with a 41-21 victory over Crook County at home on Friday, December 2. It was a tight first quarter, with the Cowgirls leading the Outlaws by a narrow mar- gin of 7-6 at the close of the period. Sisters played very strong defense but missed numerous lay-ups. In the second quarter, the Outlaws settled down, played like a unit and shared the ball, which resulted in increased scoring. Sisters held the Cowgirls to just one point in the quarter, and at the half were on top 18-8. Sisters continued to play strong in the third, and by the final quarter had the game completely under control. All 10 players on the squad saw time on the court, and seven of the 10 scored. Amanda Smith led the scoring effort with 16 points, and also recorded eight rebounds and a blocked shot. Alexis Stewart had 14 points in the contest, pulled down PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Lexie Stewart drives in for two vs. Crook County five boards, and grabbed three steals. Rylee Weber and Sydney Head each hit a three-pointer. Weber also recorded six of the Outlaws’ eight assists, and added four rebounds and three steals. Head contributed three steals and one blocked shot. Meaghan Greaney also posted a blocked shot. Coach Alan Von Stein said, “After we got the first- quarter jitters under control, we calmed down and played excellent defense and com- municated well. It was a great team win and it was nice to get that first one under our belts. “This next week we will work on fundamentals, team play, and play development,” added Von Stein. The Lady Outlaws will play at home against Yamhill- Carlton on Friday, December 9. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. 7 Museum to host after-hours event The High Desert Museum is hosting a special HDM After Hours event on Friday, December 16. The public is invited to explore exhibits, enjoy live jazz by Clairen Stone and Jason Plankey, and drinks and light appetizers. The museum’s permanent indoor exhibitions will be open, as well as the current traveling exhibitions, “Ansel Adams: Masterworks” and “The Buzzsaw Sharks of Long Ago.” “The people spoke and we listened,” said the muse- um’s director of programs, Christina Cid, Ph.D. “Folks were having a hard time get- ting to the Museum during business hours this winter, so we created a special after- hours program for them to see all these great exhibits.” Ansel Adams selected his favorites of his own work for this collection of beautiful black-and-white photogra- phy. The 48 pieces represent his life’s work, spanning a photography career of over 50 years. Visitors may then see what the buzz is all about in “The Buzzsaw Sharks of Long Ago” exhibition featur- ing the whimsical-yet-scien- tific artwork of Ray Troll. Guests also can experi- ence a smokejumper’s world through the “Smokejumpers: Firefighters from the Sky” exhibition that features infor- mative panels, video inter- views, a life-sized smoke- jumper and tools of the trade. It’s a great opportunity to jump back in time and expe- rience high desert frontier life and the journey of Plateau Indian Nations from reser- vation life to the 21st cen- tury in the permanent exhib- its “Spirit of the West” and “By Hand Through Time,” respectively. HDM After Hours is from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, December 16. Cost is $3 for members and $7 for non-members. There will be a no-host bar and light refreshments.
