Judge
dismisses
one charge
against
Ore. standoff
lawyer
PORTLAND (AP) — A
federal judge has dropped one
of three charges filed against
the lawyer for the leader of
the armed occupation at an
Oregon wildlife refuge.
U.S District Judge John C.
Coughenour also said in court
Thursday he will decide,
not a jury, on the other two
charges.
Coughenour dismissed a
charge that accused Marcus
Mumford of creating a dis-
turbance by impeding the
official duties of government
officers because it encom-
passed the same conduct
alleged in the second count,
failing to comply with offi-
cial signs that prohibit the
disruption of federal officers’
official work.
The incident in question
occurred when Mumford’s
client Ammon Bundy
was acquitted last fall and
Mumford was tackled by fed-
eral marshals for refusing to
stop arguing with the judge.
Mumford is also charged
with failure to comply with
the lawful direction of a fed-
eral police officer.

Girls basketball wraps up season on the road
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Lady Outlaws
wrapped up their season with
a 52-29 loss at Elmira on
Friday, February 17. Three
days earlier they suffered a
41-32 loss to Junction City at
home in Sisters.
The squad finished league
with a 2-8 record and were
6–15 overall.
Prior to Tuesday’s final
home game of the year, the
Outlaws honored their two
senior players, Amanda
Smith and Hogan Hernandez.
It was also Pink Out Night,
and teams wore pink in sup-
port of cancer awareness.
Half of the gate receipts
were donated locally and will
help to screen individuals in
Central Oregon.
Coach Alan Von Stein
noted his senior players:
“Amanda and Hogan have
both been wonderful leaders
for the younger girls this sea-
son. We know that they will
both be very successful as
they enter their next phases
of life.”
Sisters stayed right with
the Tigers at the start of the
game and only trailed by two,
10-8, at the close of the first
quarter. At the half, Junction
City had extended their lead
to eight, 20-12.
The third quarter was low-
scoring for both squads, but
Sisters edged out the Tigers
6-2. JC held off the Outlaws
in the fourth and closed out
the game with a win.

Smith had an outstanding
performance, and posted her
second double-double of the
season. Amanda scored 17
points and pulled down 20
rebounds in the contest.
Rylee Weber and Alexa
Stewart each scored six
points.
“It was a very excit-
ing game with intensity by
both teams,” said Von Stein.
“Turnovers were the major
deciding factor of the game
as Sisters had 13 in the first
half.”
Three days later, the
Outlaws lost a tough final
game at Elmira. Sisters shoot-
ing percentage improved over
the last two games, but turn-
overs were again an issue.
The Outlaws shot 38 percent
from the field, but committed
28 turnovers.
Smith led the team with
nine points, eight rebounds,
and two blocks. Stewart
scored eight points, and
Sydney Head contributed six
points and six boards. Kaylee
Huber added five points.
Senior Amanda Smith
commented on the season.
“As a team we are very
cohesive, both on and off
the court, which makes us
special,” said Smith. “As
friends and teammates, we
have each others’ backs. The
season was difficult because
we didn’t get as many wins
as we thought we would, but
it was memorable because of
how we were able to come
together and play our hardest
at the end. We couldn’t have
done this without the support
of our coaches, family and
friends.”
The young Outlaws squad
(only two seniors and one
junior) had a rough sea-
son, and didn’t put many
wins in the record book, but
they gained experience and
improved their skills over the
course of the season, and will
build on that for next year.
“I am the third coach in
three years, and therefore
it has been difficult for the
girls to have any continuity,”
said Von Stein. “In general,
team fundamentals need to
improve over the summer in
order to decrease turnovers
and increase confidence. The
girls will need to put not only
team time in this summer, but
also work on a lot of indi-
vidual skills. They’re excited
to work toward establishing
a more cohesive program.
We will also be working with
interested parents this sum-
mer in order to rekindle the
youth program so that we are
building from the ground up.”
