Outlaws fall in overtime heartbreaker Newport Market takes
over Melvin’s in Sisters
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Outlaws battled hard
in a rough, physical game on
the road against Cascade on
Friday, September 8, and suf-
fered a heartbreaking 17-14
loss in overtime.
Both teams exhibited
exceptional defense the first
two quarters of the contest,
and at the half there was no
score.
In the third, Cascade
scored on a one-yard run, the
extra point was good and the
Cougars went up 7-0. Sisters
tied it up at the end of the
quarter when Jake Stevens
streaked up the middle and
ran 61 yards for the touch-
down. Austin Morss’ kick for
the extra point was good, and
at the half the score was tied
up 7-7.
Ethan Morgan scored
early in the fourth on a one-
yard run, Morss kicked the
PAT, and the Outlaws took
the lead 14-7. With two min-
utes left in the final quarter,
Cascade completed a two-
minute drive. The Cougars
scored on a 15-yard pass with
25 seconds left on the clock,
got the extra point, and sent
the game into overtime.

made a good drive all the way
down to the nine-yard line.
Sisters held them to a field
goal, but the Cougars took
the lead with a 17-14 advan-
tage. Sisters wasn’t in sync
on their drive, couldn’t get a
score, and suffered the loss.
Sisters had lots of solid
runs in the second half. The
offensive line did a good
job, which allowed the run-
ning backs to get some good
yardage.
Morss had a great kicking
game and was two-for-two
on his PATs. Stutzman Turner
recorded one interception.
Quarterback Zack Morgan
suffered a shoulder injury,
and once again Christopher
“Pherry” Luz stepped in for
the Outlaws and did a great
job.
Coach Neil Fendall said,
“The players and coaches
would like to be further along
in our execution than we are,
but we’re very pleased with
how they competed, that’s for
sure.”
The Outlaws will play at
home against Crook County
in a non-league contest
on Friday, September 15.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
