Sisters started out strong in their first match-up against Newport, and held them to nine points in the first quar- ter. Turnovers plagued the Outlaws in the second period, and Sisters was outscored 18-3. In the fourth, they were able to decrease their turn- overs, but by then it was too late.

The Lady Wolves were 56 percent with their two-point shots and 40 percent from behind the arc. Coach Alan Von Stein told The Nugget that Sequim was a taller and more athletic team, but the Lady Outlaws hung tough.

Rylee Weber led the team with eights points and four rebounds, and Alexa Stewart followed with seven points and four rebounds. Olivia Hougham tallied five points and three rebounds, and Gracen Sundstrom scored six points. In their final game, Sisters faced Crook County and came out on top 28-16.
