4 Wednesday, April 11, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Boys tennis plays in Madras invite By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws attended the White Buffalo Tournament on Saturday, April 7, and finished fifth out of the eight teams in attendance. Earlier in the week, on Tuesday, April 3, Sisters fell 3-5 at home to Madras in the league opener, and on Friday, they lost 1-4 at home to Henley. In Saturday’s action at the White Buffalo Tourney, junior Jed Kizziar won four of seven mini-sets to earn a fourth-place finish in the No. 1 singles bracket. Three of his wins were over league opponents he will face later in the season, where Jed will try to secure a high seed for the District Tournament. “Jed’s aggressive net game is a change of pace for most singles players,” said Coach Carl Click. “He uses it to dictate the style of points to his advantage.” Sophomores Aaron Johnson and Sam Mayes also won four of seven mini-sets for a fourth-place finish in No. 2 doubles competition. The duo lost the first two matches, but then came out on top in four consecutive, close, competitive matches. “Aaron and Sam got off to a slow start, but adjusted to the high winds and got more aggressive at the net to improve in their later matches,” said Click. Vale finished at the top with a score of 144, and Henley was runner-up with 124. Madras was third (114), Cascade fourth (108), and Sisters fifth (94). Remaining scores were: Crook County (88), Klamath Union (67), and Estacada (45).

Nate lost the first set, but dominated in the second set to get the win. Stovall was forced to retire in a 5-5 third set because of leg cramps, with Weber leading 30-15 in the 11th game. Isaiah Chapen (No. 3) also dominated play in his 6-1, 6-2 win over Ollie Fisk. The Outlaws lost at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles in close, two-set matches, and had to forfeit the No. 4 doubles match because several play- ers were unavailable due to spring break. “Madras is usually at the top of the league in boys ten- nis, so winning the top three single positions and playing Not Using Your RV?

In Friday’s match against Henley, both teams were down in numbers; the Hornets had seven players and Sisters had 11. Chapen was the lone win- ner for the Outlaws. Isaiah handled Colin Pitts at the No. 3 singles spot, with scores of 6-2, 6-2, his second singles victory of the week. The Outlaws were to play in a match at home against Molalla on Tuesday, April 10. Sisters will travel to North Marion on Friday, April 13. The girls tennis team had three matches scheduled for the week and were only able to get one in: a 1-7 road loss to Madras on Tuesday, April 3. Seven of the 18 Lady Outlaws were out of town, and Sisters was forced to forfeit No. 4 singles due to lack of players. The match was actually very close, although the score doesn’t reflect it. At one point the Outlaws were up on five of the courts. The match was full of many tie-breakers and third sets. Rylee Weber and Hawley Harrer, Sisters’ No. 1 duo, defeated Jessica Oliveria and Erika Oliveria 6-6 (7-3), 6-6 (7-4). “Rylee and Hawley won both sets in tie-breakers,” said Coach Crystal Tosello. “They faced some challenges getting their ground strokes in at the beginning, but learned to work together and won with their aggressive vollies and lobs.” Both the No. 1 and No. 2 singles lost in very close matches. Mary Florian, at No. 1, lost 7-5, 6-6 (5-7), 3-6 to Katherin Parode. Mary had very consistent ground strokes and Tosello told The Nugget that Mary grew a lot as a player and showed a much more powerful serve than ever before. Ramsey Schar (No. 2), lost in a three-set tie-breaker 6-1, 2-6, 6-6 (4-7) to Andrea Vazquez. Tosello stated that Ramsey played with a great attitude and never gave up. The Lady Outlaws were to play at Molalla on April 10. Sisters will face North Marion at home on Friday, April 13.
