Boys soccer posts two league wins
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The boys soccer team tal-
lied their first league win
with a 6-1 victory at home
against Sutherlin on Tuesday,
September 19, and two days
later, posted a 2-0 win at
Sweet Home.
In Tuesday’s action, Sisters
got on the scoreboard at the
15-minute mark when Skyler
Larson’s shot bounced off the
crossbar, and was rebounded
from close range into the
goal by Ultra Nillratanothai.
Approximately five minutes
later, Judah Keeton crossed
the ball from the right side,
and Ultra headed it in for his
second goal of the night.
Sisters scored their third
goal off a chipped ball from
Gabe Patton, who found
Colby Simeral for another
Outlaw goal. At the half,
Sisters was on top 3-0.
Five minutes into the sec-
ond half, Keaton Green got
the Outlaws going. Green
took the ball up the left side,
and passed it on the ground
through the Sutherlin defense
to Judah Keeton, who finished
the goal.
Ten minutes later, a free
kick from just outside the
18-yard box skipped off a
Sutherlin player’s head and
through the hands of Samson
Henneous, for Sutherlin’s first
goal of the night.
The Outlaws responded
with back-to-back goals in
the 72nd and 74th minutes of
play. Skyler Larson crossed a
ball to Kincaid Smeltzer, who
knocked it in from just inside
the 18. Sisters’ final goal
came when Green received
a through ball on the left
side from Simeral and beat
a couple of
defenders for
the goal.
Coach Rob
Jensen told The
Nugget that a few
players played an
outstanding game.
“ K e a t o n
(Green) showed
great energy
and really pro-
vided a spark
to the game, and
Judah (Keeton) made
an instant impact in his
first varsity action,” said
Jensen. “Ultra (Nilrattanothai) got
his first two varsity goals and was
a threat up-top most of the night.”
Jensen did note that the Outlaws
have some things they still need to
work on, but is pleased they moved
forward and got a win on the
board.
On Thursday, Sisters scored
in the first minute of the con-
test. The Outlaws played
the ball up the right side
to Brogan Petterson, who
crossed it to Green for the
score.

remained 1-0 at the
half.
Sisters controlled pos-
session most of the second half,
got a goal from Nilrattanothai off
a cross from Keeton at the 65-minute
mark, and secured the shutout.
Jensen said, “Keaton (Green) played a
great game from the left wing, and Kinnon
(Rutherford) and Colby (Simeral) locked down
the middle from center back.”
Sisters is currently 2-1 in league play. The
Outlaws were to play at home
against Elmira on Tuesday,
September 26. Sisters will
travel to Junction City on
Thursday, September 28.

Local couple introduces
Sparkling Hop Water
For hundreds of years,
hop water has been served
in Japan for its health and
medicinal benefits as well as
being enjoyed as a refreshing
non-alcoholic drink.
Casey Glick, a 2002 Sisters
High School graduate, sam-
pled and thoroughly enjoyed
the unusual beverage while
working in Japan. Recently,
back home, he suggested to
his parents, Dave and Cindy
Glick, that they produce hop
water locally, inferring that
the flavor could be enhanced
using pungent, locally grown
Northwest hops.
“What better place to
introduce a non-alcoholic hop
drink than in Oregon!” he
said.
His parents agreed and
l a u n c h e d O r e g o n H o p
Springs with lifelong friends
Alex Gholson (a chemist)
and his wife, Lori (a yoga stu-
dio owner/instructor), from
Philomath.
Alex, also an amateur
award-winning beer brewer,
experimented with hop com-
binations and different brew-
ing techniques to create what
the owners think is a winning
recipe that they tested at sev-
eral Oregon tasting events.
The owners share excite-
ment and enthusiasm for
this new drink in their com-
pany motto: “No Worries, Be
Hoppy!”
Friends and neighbors
from the Sisters community
have been very supportive
and helpful with establishing
this start-up.
L o c a l a r t i s t L a u r a
Campbell and Sisters Coffee
Co.’s Jesse Durham together
designed the logo and label.
Jan McGowan, local not-for-
profit and business advisor,
offered ideas, recommenda-
tions, and meeting facilitation.
The launch date for this
new non-alcoholic, zero-cal-
orie beverage is at the Sisters
Fresh Hop Fest, Saturday,
September 30 from 12 to 8
p.m. at Village Green Park.
The event is sponsored
by Three Creeks Brewing
Co. and proceeds go to The
American Cancer Society.
Wade Underwood, owner of
the brewery, allowed Oregon
Hop Springs to participate.
Jesse Durham said this fun,
family-oriented event offers
the opportunity to “Have fun,
make friends, and hop it up!”
The owners report that
beer-lovers and non-beer-
drinkers alike enjoy the taste
of the Sparkling Hop Water.
