6 Wednesday, February 14, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws stay tied for first place Lady Outlaws snap losing streak By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws snapped their four-game los- ing streak with a 46-30 win over the Huskies at Sweet Home on Tuesday, February 6, and are now 2-5 in confer- ence play. The winning didn’t last, though, as the Outlaws were defeated 62-26 by the Tigers at Junction City on Friday. In Tuesday’s game against the Huskies, the Outlaws played excellent defense, and did a great job pressing. The team got great looks at the basket, but only scored seven points in the first quarter; but it was enough to keep them on top (7-4) as they closed out the period. At the half, the Outlaws held a slim 19-18 advantage. Sisters came out firing on all cylinders in the third, and Sydney Head scored six of her 10 points in the period. The team continued to stay focused, made their shots, and beat the Huskies by 16. Seven of the nine Lady Outlaws who played con- tributed in the scoring effort. Leading scorers were: Head with 13, Lexi Stewart with 10, and Rylee Weber with nine. Weber, Sisters’ lone senior, commented, “Every game we come out ready to play and learn. It could be easy to not look past our season record, or our height, but this game shows we are still fighting and learning. Often we come out from the half slower, and that’s where teams pull away from us, but this game we came out stronger and kicked it into gear. Everyone of us is SISTERS COLD WEATHER SHELTER By Rongi Yost Correspondent getting better every game.” The Outlaws fell hard three days later to the No. 8-ranked Tigers. Sisters went down 13-7 at the close of the first quarter, and at the half trailed 32-13. The second half was more of the same, and the Outlaws recorded the loss. Coach Von Stein told The Nugget he felt the Outlaws played solid in all four quar- ters, but just couldn’t convert their shots. Sisters shot only 22 percent from the field, while the Tigers shot 52 percent. Kaylee Huber scored six points, and Lexi Stewart tal- lied five. Weber grabbed nine rebounds, and also had three assists. Sisters was to play at home against Elmira on Tuesday, February 13, and planned to wear pink uniforms to raise cancer awareness.

Sisters defeated the Huskies 43-36 at Sweet Home on Tuesday, February 6, and three days later they tallied a 64-48 road win at Junction City (JC). Tuesday’s contest against the Huskies was a hard- fought, physical battle. The Outlaws led for most of the contest, but in the middle of the fourth period the Huskies were able to tie it up. With approximately two minutes left on the clock, the Outlaws were on top 30-28. Sisters would get a defensive stop, and then the Huskies would foul. Sisters was per- fect at the line, and hit their last 13 free throws to secure the win; specifically Jack Berg, Ty Horner, and Zach Anderson, who all went four-for-four at the stripe, and Noah Richards who was one-for-two. “It was an exciting game in which we competed well, kept our poise, and played well on free throws,” said Coach David Godfrey.
