Wednesday, June 7, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 19 Singleton named swim head coach Four Outlaws get all- league lacrosse honors By Rongi Yost Correspondent By Rongi Yost Correspondent The boys lacrosse team had four players, includ- ing Casey Warburton, Trey Stadeli, Ethan Morgan, and Matt Harris named honorable mention all-league. That fact in itself is quite impressive, and speaks to the Outlaws skills, considering the young squad didn’t win a single league game all season. Warburton (junior) faced more shots than any other goalie in the league, and according to Coach Paul Patton had a save rate as good as anyone. Casey was the vocal leader of the Outlaws’ defensive unit. Stadeli (sophomore) was an honorable mention last year and earned it again this year. Trey was one of the Outlaws’ statistical leaders in goals, assists, and ground balls. He’s a versatile player, and saw time at attack, defense, and at midfield. Harris (sophomore) was recognized last year as well. Patton stated that Matt is rock-solid as a long stick defenseman and led the team in ground balls, despite miss- ing several games with an injury. He also stepped in for one game as goalie and did an outstanding job. Morgan is also a repeat honorable mention. He earned the award even though he missed a big chunk of the season due to a concussion. “The other coaches rec- ognize that he is one of the most capable scorers in our league,” said Patton. “All of these boys are amongst the most committed players on the team, and their dedication has been rewarded with this recognition.” In addition, Doug Hull was named Assistant Coach of the Year, and the Outlaws won the Sportsmanship Award. “Doug is a well-deserving assistant Coach of the Year,” said Patton. “He is more than an assistant. It’d be fair to say that he is more like a co-head coach. He and I are partners in this, and he does great work for the program, and has a great relationship with the players. “The sportsmanship award was kind of cool because it’s something we empha- size in the program. It’s not always easy to stay positive when you’re struggling to gets wins, but the team and coaches did a good job of that. With no seniors on the team this year, we’ll have everyone back next year with a great chance to have a great season.” Not just a voice on the phone... Weʼre right here when you need us... Bryn Singleton has been Sisters High School’s assis- tant swim coach for the past three years, so will easily slide into the head coach position. Although she didn’t swim in high school or college, she took up the sport when she started to compete in tri- athlons about five years ago. Through that process Bryn discovered she loved swim- ming, and it’s become one of her favorite ways to exercise. “I really like swimming because it’s a challenging, great workout, and also great for your body long term,” said Singleton. “It’s a complement to running and other sports, and something you can do life-long.” Bryn started coaching swimming at Sisters Athletic Club, and from there was hired as the assistant swim coach at the high school. In addition to swimming, Singleton has coached middle school track for the past two years, and has helped coach the SPRD sum- mer cross-country camp the past two years as well. This winter, Bryn hopes to bring new swimmers to the current 16-person squad. “I think people assume swimming is a hard sport to take up if they haven’t done it before high school,” said Singleton. “Even though it’s a hard workout, we love hav- ing new swimmers on the team. Anyone can learn and progress.” Since Bryn has been with the program for the past three years, it should be a seam- less transition. Bryn told The Nugget she hopes to continue to help kids have a great team experience, and to realize being on a high school team is about much more than just the sport itself. “The best part is seeing all the kids come together and bond as a team during bus rides, dinners out, and over- night trips,” said Singleton. Bryn and her husband, Ryan, have lived in Sisters for the past six years. Their son, Will, is in kindergarten, and their daughter, Kate, is in third grade.

Gary Thorson, SHS ath- letic director said, “Bryn has been involved here at the high school for a number of years and has a great feel for the type of culture we are trying to build for our athletes. Having already served as an assistant in our swim program, she knows the athletes very well, and it will be a smooth transi- tion for the team this winter. She is very organized and has high expectations for the ath- letes she works with, and we are excited about her taking on this role as head coach for the swim program.” The Garden Angel 2017 FORD F-350 4x4 XLT Diesel LB SRW 541-549-2882 23k miles, BW hitch, new wheels & tires A natural approach to lawn care $52,900 LCB#9352 Best Price!
