The Bulletin reports James McGinnis opted to play the extra $1 Power Play option that multiplies players’ win- nings. His $1 million dol- lar prize doubled as a result and he walked away with a $2 million prize for the September 16 drawing. McGinnis purchased the winning ticket at Binky’s Full Lottery in Bend. Binky’s will also be receiving $20,000 as part of a one-percent sales bonus. Lottery spokesman Patrick Johnson says since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets in 1985, it has earned more than $11 billion to be used for public education, state parks and watershed enhancements. On Tuesday, Sisters scored the first goal of the game in the eighth minute of the con- test. Rylee Weber crossed the ball over to Brianna Bachmeier, who tapped it into the net for the goal. The game went back and forth, and then Elmira scored to tie it up 1-1 at the 28-min- ute mark. It was a tie game going into the half, with both teams giving it their all. The Falcons scored again in the 64th min- ute off a corner kick. Sisters pressured the Falcons, and had some opportunities late in the game, but just couldn’t find the back of the net. Elmira knocked a ball into the net in the 19th minute, and held their 1-0 advantage to the end.

Gracen (Sundstrom) is a composed center-back with the capability of read- ing the play and stepping in and defending very well. Emma (Horner) is new to defense, but she is pick- ing up the role of a defender quickly, and is a huge part of that back line. Josie (Aylor) and Sophia (Bianchi) play at the right-back position, and both have strong assets they bring on the field. Sophia is a smart defender, and knows how to hold up the opponent, and Josie is a quick-reaction defender, and steps in and reads the plays very well.” Although the Outlaws are having a hard time record- ing a win, they are improving daily, and are a very different PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Gracen Sundstrom corner-kicks for the Outlaws. team from what they were at the start of the season. “The girls are playing really, really good soccer right now,” said Jacobsen. “We just need to convert our chances on the offensive end. We are getting chances and oppor- tunities; we just need to find the back of the net. They’re working hard and are hungry to defeat these teams the next round of league play. “We have the talent, and we are moving in the right direction right now. I told the team that we should be play- ing our best soccer about mid- way through the season, and today was our best overall game. Even though we didn’t get the results we wanted, we proved we belong to play and compete with the best teams out there.” The Outlaws are currently 1-3-1 in league and 1-5-1 overall. Sisters was to host La Pine at home on Monday, October 2. They will travel to Cottage Grove on Thursday, October 5.
