The boys golf squad
competed against four other
Central Oregon teams at the
Prineville Country Club on
Tuesday, April 18, and posted
a team score of 374. The
competition was primarily a
JV match but a good fit for
the Sisters squad.
Bend finished at 416,
Ridgeview posted a 434,
and Crook County shot a
438. Summit rounded out the
scores at 636.
Wyatt Hernandez paced
the Outlaws with a score of
90. Hernandez played a very
consistent round and posted a
45 on both the front and back
nine. Andrew Mayes was
just two strokes back at 92.
Kade Owen shot a 95, Austin
Lake carded a 97, and Ryan
Waddell shot a 108.
Coach Bill Mitchell said,
“Wyatt has really been work-
ing hard on his game. Both
his ball-striking and putting
have improved.
“It was a fun course to
play,” said Mitchell. “It’s a
small nine-hole course that
you go around twice, which
is unique. I was happy with
the boys’ scores today. It was
a great effort by all of them.”

only able to tally one win in
their match against Cascade
on Tuesday, April 18, but they
bounded back two days later
with a 6-1 victory at home
against Stayton.
In Tuesday’s match against
Cascade, Jonny Gurney,
at No. 1 singles, was the
Outlaws’ lone winner. Gurney
defeated Sam Anthony 6-3,
6-3 in a very solid match.
Coach Gander said, “I can
see that Jonny’s confidence
is building with each district
match that he plays. He’s now
2-1 against district opponents,
and we expect that record to
improve during the coming
weeks as we look forward to
the district championship next
month.”
Gurney hopes to secure
one of the top four seeds in
the district draw, which is
something no other Sisters
singles player has achieved
since Paul Fullhart in 2014.
Two days later, after a
couple of long rain delays, the
Outlaws finally completed
their scheduled match against
Stayton at 7:30 p.m.
Sisters top two singles
two quick sets, 6-1, 6-1, and
Josh Kizziar (No. 2 singles)
beat Caleb Belliard 6-0, 6-1.
Jed Kizziar and Jacob Gurney
(No. 1 doubles) beat Liam
Briles and Junior Velasco
6-1, 6-1.
Elijah Gurney and Isaiah
Chapen had to work a bit
harder to beat Logan Moore
and Ivan Ochoa at No. 2
doubles. The combo battled
back from a first set loss (5-7)
and won the next two sets
6-4, 6-4.
Gander said, “Ivan Ochoa
had an unbeatable serve, so
our guys had to find a way
to break his partner without
losing any service games
themselves. When Isaiah held
serve from 30 all in the last
game, we all breathed a col-
lective sigh of relief!”
George Bates (No 4 sin-
gles) and Sam Meyes and
Aaron Johnson (No. 3 dou-
bles) won their matches by
default.
The Outlaws were to play
at Crook County on Tuesday,
April 25. Sisters will play on
Thursday, April 27, at home
against Philomath.
