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.”

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. Bryn works full-
time at the high school as a

paraprofessional in special
education.
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.”
