6 Wednesday, February 28, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Basketball athletes make all-league By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws had four play- ers named to all-league teams this year; senior Ty Horner, and juniors Jack Berg, Noah Richards, and Zach Anderson. Horner was the lone Outlaw to earn first-team all- league honors. Ty was one of the squad’s captains, and worked hard to fill a leader- ship role on the team. Horner got top recognition despite the fact he only played in five league games due to his injured hand. Ty averaged 12 points per game, shot 46 per- cent from the field, and 74 percent from the free-throw line. He also averaged six rebounds, 1.5 assists, and one blocked shot per game. Coach David Godfrey said, “Earning first-team is quite a testament to his skills and physical presence. He impacted games with his scor- ing and rebounding. Also, the other teams had to pay extra attention defending him, so that helped open up our other players for shots and rebounds. He was important to our team’s offense with not only his scoring, but his pass- ing and rebounding.” Juniors Berg and Richards were second-team selections. Jack averaged 9.3 points per game and shot 45 percent from the field and 76 percent from the line. He also aver- aged 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. Berg played solid for the Outlaws throughout league, and con- tributed in all areas of the game. Jack was the Outlaws’ best three-point shooter, shooting 30 percent from behind the arc. “The league coaches knew that they had to guard Jack tough, because he can score,” said Godfrey. “He is an unself- ish player who makes the extra pass to his teammates. Along with being one of our team captains, he was consis- tently a good defender, and a consistent performer all year long. He hit big shots and got big rebounds time and again.” Earning first-team is quite a testament to his [Ty’s] skills and physical presence. — Coach David Godfrey Richards averaged 11.3 points per game and shot 48 percent from the field and 66 percent from the stripe. He also averaged 2.9 rebounds and three assists per game. ”Noah is a key player for us,” said Godfrey. “He had some big scoring games, like getting 31 against Elmira in the second round. He also made key plays for us, like scoring the winning basket in our first game of league at Cottage Grove. Offensively, he attacked the basket well, and improved his outside shooting as well. In addition, he was one of our assist lead- ers. He sees the floor well, and tries to get an open team- mate the ball. He developed into one of our better defend- ers as the year went on.” Anderson rounded out the all-league selections as honor- able mention. Zach averaged 9.3 points per game, shot 61 percent from the field, and 75 percent from the line. He averaged 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.3 blocked shots per game. Godfrey said, “Zach plays with a big engine. He plays hard, makes a lot of hustle plays, like blocking shots, div- ing on the floor for loose balls, and getting tough rebounds. He uses his quickness to get to the basket, where he usually finishes well. He was a fac- tor inside and on the boards. He was a consistent player, and scored in double figures in seven of our 10 league games. He took on the role of being our defensive stop- per. Whether it was a forward or a guard, Zach used his length and quickness to often shut down the other team’s scorer. This was true in our last game against Sutherlin for the league title. In the second half, he guarded their quick point guard and held him to two points in the half. He was a big contributor to our team’s success this year.” Senoir Rylee Weber was the lone Lady Outlaw who earned all-league recognition (honorable mention). Rylee averaged 5.3 points, and 6.6 rebounds per game. She was also the leading rebounder on the team on a per-game basis. Coach Alan Von Stein said, “It’s been a challenge for Rylee over the last four years. She has stuck with basketball as the lone person in her class the last three years. There have been three different coaches during her four-year stay. Despite these adversities, Rylee stuck with basketball and functioned as an excellent team member.” SNOW REMOVAL Roof Rakes THE GALLERY R E S TA U R A N T A N D B A R Snowblowers Skid Steers 1/4 lb.

This third year includes a two-day Jewelry from Uncommon Sources work- shop April 5 and 6, an all- day symposium on Saturday, April 7, and a Clay & Paper workshop on Sunday, April 8. Back by popular demand is the wearable art fashion show on Saturday, and a day filled with stimulating break- out sessions curated around weaving, repurposing, cre- ating, and spontaneous con- struction through varied media. “People who attend this event each year have a pas- sion for coming together to share ideas and discuss the evolution of their work as fiber artists,” said Jean Wells, HFAS chairperson. “On this weekend we learn from and share ideas with the vast array of fiber art- ists who are creatively influ- enced by their own evolu- tion, the environment, and technology.” Carol Shaw Sutton will be the keynote speaker on “Interwoven Language.” Sutton’s personal work consists of poetically narra- tive objects and installations often relating to the history of ancient and modern pro- cesses. These address the deep concerns for harmony of nature, culture, and the transcending of the concept of time. As a human soci- ety becomes increasingly complex, and, paradoxically both alienated and inter- dependent, the interwoven languages of textiles can stand in as a potent visual metaphor.

Happy Trails Estate Sales It’s the way you ride the trail that counts — Dale Evans Daiya 541-480-2806 Sharie 541-771-1150 happytrailsest@live.com Habitat Hero! Why do I volunteer? I grew up a product of a military y family with the desire to serve our na- - tion. Although we did not have a lot of money, I found close ties in a neigh- borhood where residents cared and helped each other in times of need. I have always been an outgoing individual and have enjoyed meeting and working with people from all walks of life. Retiring to Central Oregon, I found an opportunity to serve in a variety of ways, including my church, veterans outreach, Kiwanis and Habitat for Humanity in Sisters. At Habitat, I am blessed with an abundance of opportunities to interact with accomplished retirees to effect meaningful changes for those less fortunate to start new lives. When I volunteer at the Habitat ReStore, I feel a sense of accomplishment, of well-being in helping to achieve positive re- sults for others. In return for my efforts, I experience a feeling of harmony with my life and my surroundings. I can honestly say that the rewards bestowed upon me have far exceeded the efforts that I have expended to make life a better place on this planet. The Sisters community is by far richer through the efforts of the myriad selfl ess individual citizens! I feel a sense of belonging that I could not otherwise hope to achieve. The pay-it-forward spirit of this rural region is alive and well. John Troike, ReStore Volunteer P.O.
