Veterans organization
has national reach
veterans to provide fellow
veterans with the opportunity
to get into the outdoors and
pursue activities they love
— despite troubled times and
injuries.
The organization offers
three types of experience:
hunting trips; fishing; and
“engagement missions.”
Wounded veterans, many
working through post-trau-
matic stress, come from all
over the country to connect
with each other and with
activities that make them feel

Warfighter Outfitters was
born in Sisters and operates
out of here — but its reach
extends far beyond Central
Oregon.
In 2016, the nonprofit
served “just a hair over
2,000 veterans,” according to
founder Brett Miller, himself
a combat-wounded veteran of
the war in Iraq.

Prosser takes on Sisters
City Recorder position Outlaws crowned champs at tourney
She opened 12 stores for
them around the country,
while living in Lake Tahoe
and Boulder, Colorado.
Because the company was
relatively new, she did a bit
of everything, including writ-
ing the human resources and
operations manuals.
The move to managing the
Eddie Bauer store in Bend for
12 years brought her back
home. She also served as
the acting district manager
and training store manager.

Sisters’ new City
Recorder, Kerry Prosser,
brings with her a wealth of
work experience in dealing
with the public and a 20-year
history as a Sisters resident,
providing a familiarity with
Sisters and her citizens.
All of Prosser’s employ-
ment prior to City Hall was
with retail establishments.
Her working career started
with an internship and two
years as a retail coordinator
for rapidly growing Great
Outdoor Clothing Company.

The Outlaws won all three
of their games at the annual
Sisters Holiday Tournament
held Wednesday through
Friday, December 28-30.
With the sweep, the
Outlaws earned the tourna-
ment crown. Madras was
runner-up, and Henley fin-
ished third.
Sisters knocked off Baker
56-46 in their first game of
the tourney. The Outlaws
started the game with a
superb defensive effort and
held the Bulldogs to just nine
points in the first half, which
put Sisters up by 17 with a
score of 26-9.
The Outlaws built their
lead in the third quarter,
and were up by 21 as teams
entered into the final period.
In the final quarter,
Baker’s guard, Brad Zemmer,
exploded and scored 14 of his
21 points in the fourth.
Coach Rand Runco said,
“We learned a valuable
lesson. We settled down,
stopped their run, finished the
job and beat them by 10.”
Keegan Greaney did
a great job of containing
Zemmer early in the game.
Sisters’ backcourt also did
a nice job and got the ball
inside to the Outlaws’ big
men early. Greaney, Ben
Saba, Jake Larson and Noah
Richards all defended well.
Offensively, the Outlaws
had strong scoring from the
perimeter and shot well from
the stripe. They also hit the
boards fairly well, and Tanner
and Tyler Head, Ty Horner,
and Greaney, all stayed after
it on the glass.
Sisters hurt the Bulldogs
inside, with Horner scoring
14 points and playing huge
