Mountain lion killed
under La Pine deck
BEND (AP) — A moun-
tain lion that authorities say
recently attacked two dogs
and killed a pet cat in La Pine
has been shot and killed.
The Deschutes County
Sheriff’s Office says depu-
ties shot the animal Saturday
morning after a homeowner
called to report the cougar
was under the house’s deck.
Officials say deputies
found the cougar under the
deck and killed it because
of the danger it posed to the
community.
The home where the cou-
gar was shot is less than a
quarter mile from a children’s
daycare.
The Lady Outlaws had a
hard week on the hardwood,
which started with a 44-24
loss to the Lions at Cottage
Grove on Tuesday, January
17. Three days later, they
were buried by the Bulldogs
in a 44-16 loss.
In Tuesday’s action,
Sisters lost by 20 on the road
in their game against the
Lions. The Lions used their
height advantage against the
Outlaws, and did a good job
getting the ball through the
hoop.
Sisters trailed by eight at
the half, and then the Lions
doubled up on the Outlaws in
the second half and outscored
them 25-12.
The Outlaws shot 19 per-
cent from the field, and just
20 percent from the stripe,
while the Lions shot 35 per-
cent from the field.
Despite the fact the
Outlaws lost, Coach Von
Stein told The Nugget he felt
the girls played extremely
well and are turning the cor-
ner as a team. The Outlaws

played mostly man-to-man
defense with good help-side.
Amanda Smith was the
Outlaws’ leading scorer with
10 points and six boards.
Gracie Sundstrom tallied six
points.
“The girls are really play-
ing together as a team, and
I’m proud of their play,” said
Von Stein. “We just need to
get the ball in the hoop, and
that’s a point of emphasis at
our practices.”
Three days later, the
Bulldogs, who are ranked No.
3 in the state, took control of
the game from the start and
sailed to an easy victory.
Von Stein told The Nugget
that the Lady Outlaws were
shell-shocked, and strug-
gled offensively against the
Bulldogs’ tough defense.
Sisters was to play at
Junction City on Tuesday,
January 24. On Friday,
January 27, the Outlaws will
play at home against Elmira.
Tip-off is set for 7:15 p.m.
