ness education with optional,

The Lady Outlaws have
been playing hard, but can’t
seem to put it all together for
four quarters for a win.
Sisters lost all three of
their games this past week
and are currently 1-7 over-
all. The Outlaws lost 45-24
at Junction City on Tuesday,
January 24, and three days
later fell 48-24 at home
against Elmira. On Saturday,
the team played Yamhill-
Carlton at home and got beat
54-32.
In Tuesday’s contest, it
was as if there was a lid over
the top of the basket. The
Outlaws got off to a very,
very slow start and were held
scoreless in the first quar-
ter. They didn’t make even
one basket from the field the
entire first half. Their three
points in the second quarter
all came from the free-throw
line. At the half, Sisters
trailed the Tigers 18-3.
The Outlaws did much
better in the second half, but
at that point it was too late
to make a difference in the
outcome.

four. Olivia Hougham pulled
down six boards, had two
assists, and one steal.
On Friday, the Outlaws
played well in the first half
against the Falcons, and
only trailed 28-16 at the half.
Sadly, they couldn’t sustain
their play and only scored
four points in the second half.
Smith had 12 points, 10
rebounds, two blocks, and
one steal.
The Outlaws only shot
seven percent from the stripe
and 21 percent from the field.
A day later, Sisters fell to
Yamhill-Carlton. The team
played well through the first
and second quarters, and
were only down by four at
the half, but fell apart in the
second half of the contest.
“The girls just couldn’t
put a full game together and
couldn’t get points on the
scoreboard,” said Coach Alan
Von Stein. “They played hard
but it was a difficult recovery
to have just 18 hours between
two games.”
The Outlaws had a bye
on Tuesday, January 31. On
Friday, February 3, Sisters
will take on the Huskies at
Sweet Home.
