Oublaws posb win over Sweeb Home
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Outlaws beat the
Huskies 43-38 on the road
at Sweet Home on Friday,
February 3. Although the
Huskies don’t have a lot of
tallies in the win column,
they played hard and gave the
Outlaws a run for their money
in their best performance of
the season.
Sisters went down early
at the start of the first quar-
ter, but stormed back with
outstanding offensive execu-
tion and beat the Huskies
by seven in the first quarter,
16-9. The Huskies outscored
the Outlaws nine to six in
the second quarter, but the
Outlaws held onto the lead
and entered the half with a
22-15 advantage.
Sweet Home penetrated
early and the Outlaws had
trouble containing them.
On the flipside, the Huskies
didn’t have an answer for Ty
Horner on the inside and the
Head brothers on the glass.
Tanner and Tyler’s relentless
effort on the glass kept the
Huskies on their heels. In fact,
the Huskies scored only four
points from the field in the
first half, with their remaining
points coming from the stripe.
Coach Rand Runco told
The Nugget that every time
Sisters pulled to a lead, they
would turn it over in the half-
court. The Huskies played
hard and tested the Outlaws
guards, who responded with
tough play, answered their
aggressiveness, and went
right at them.
It was a battle on the hard-
wood, and the Outlaws con-
trolled the game most of the
way. Sweet Home cut the
score to one in the final quar-
ter, and Sisters answered with
a ball inside to Horner, who
put in a great shot. Sisters
held on to win by five.

and overall games. Greaney
played very well on the
defensive end and was key in
breaking the press and getting
the Outlaws into their sets.
Several times while under
pressure, he was able to break
their press and find the right
person for an easy bucket.
Horner finished the game
with 17 points, and Tanner
Head scored nine. Greaney,
Tyler Head, Ben Saba, and
Jack Berg all pitched in with
four points each. Greaney,
Saba, and Berg all recorded
four rebounds.
“The boys played well
against a great environment,”
said Runco. “The crowd and
band were incredibly loud
and it was a really fun game
to be in.”
The win separated
the league, with Sisters,
Sutherlin, and Cottage Grove
all moving forward to a 5-1
record and a three-way tie.
The Outlaws were to play
at home against Cottage
Grove on Tuesday, February
7. On Friday, February 10,
the Outlaws will travel for a
game at Sutherlin. Both CG
and Sutherlin boast efficient
and explosive offenses, and
games should be a dogfight to
the end.
Runco said, “We will need
to get stops and scores, and
keep the turnovers down and
we will be in a great posi-
tion for post-season play. The
boys really play well together
and are getting better and bet-
ter chemistry. Trusting each
other and sharing the ball on
offense and communicating
on the defensive end are our
keys.”

Salmon reburn bo
Deschubes River
BEND (AP) — Oregon’s
Deschutes River saw a large
number of native sockeye
salmon return to its waters in
2016.
A total of 536 sockeye
salmon returned to a complex
of hydroelectric dams and
reservoirs called the Pelton
Round Butte Hydroelectric
Project, reported The Bulletin.
That’s a significant improve-
ment over recent years —
since 2010, annual returns
have ranged between 19 and
86 fish.
“We are not pointing
to this and saying mission
accomplished, but at the
same time it’s a really great
result for 2016,” said Steven
Corson, a spokesman for
complex co-owner Portland
General Electric. “Our goal is
to have sustained and harvest-
able fish runs, but we are still
in the beginning stages.”
The dam complex is owned
by PGE and the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs. It
stretches over about 20 miles
of the Deschutes River west
of Madras.
The complex was origi-
nally designed in the 1950s
and 60s to include fish pas-
sages, but the passages were
not effective. Round Butte
Dam owners are now trying
to reintroduce spring chinook
and steelhead in addition to
sockeye salmon.
Corson said salmon returns
are often unpredictable and
the reintroduction efforts are
still in the early stages.
More than 93 percent of
the sockeye originated in
the Middle Deschutes basin,
according to genetic testing
received by Portland General
Electric in January. Most of
those came from a lake cre-
ated by the Round Butte Dam
called Lake Billy Chinook.
While waiting for new
data, scientists continue to
monitor water quality and
work on habitat-improving
projects in the area.
“It’s an ongoing, scien-
tific-based effort to maximize
the potential for a successful
year,” Corson said.
