6 Wednesday, April 11, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws split games on lacrosse field By Rongi Yost Correspondent The boys lacrosse team fell 11-6 to West Albany on Friday, April 6, but a day later bounced back with a 10-7 vic- tory over Corvallis. Friday’s game at West Albany was the Outlaws’ first game back after 11 days off due to spring break, and the time off showed. Sisters got off to a slow start, and the Bulldogs built an early lead. The Outlaws battled back to tie it up in the third quarter, but numerous turnovers and penalties followed and put them at a disadvantage. The Bulldogs continued to score and pulled away to record the win. Ethan Morgan led the Outlaws with five goals on 13 shots, and he assisted Tyler Friend for the other goal. Spencer Morgan played a good defensive game, Noah Keeton was steady on offense, and Friend and Jared Richerson put out tireless effort as middies. Trey Stadeli was also instrumental in the Outlaws’ offensive success. Coach Paul Patton said, “Despite not playing par- ticularly well, we did play hard and learned a lot about what we need to work on to do better in the future. The boys took the loss pretty hard, because they felt we’d let one slip away that we could have won if we’d played a little better.” The next day, Sisters came out strong in their road win over Corvallis, despite the wind and heavy rain. The Outlaws were up 4-0 after the first quarter and held a 5-1 advantage at the half. Corvallis made a run in the third quarter, and the score was even at 6-6 as teams headed into the final quar- ter. The Outlaws took con- trol with face-off wins by Jake Stevens that resulted in a string of goals and a 10-6 lead. The Spartans got one more goal late in the contest. Sisters’ defense tightened up, and the Outlaws held on for the win. Ethan Morgan again led the Outlaws’ scoring with five goals. Stadeli contributed two goals and one assist, and Stevens and Noah Keeton added one goal and one assist each. Judah Keeton rounded out the scoring with one goal. Casey Warburton recorded 12 saves in the goal. Jaden Condel, a first- year senior player, saw his first action on the field, and midfielders Cole Pade and Damien Wills played well. Matt Harris did a nice job leading the defense in the absence of the two starters who were away on spring break trips. Patton said, “A key factor of our fourth-quarter success was the fact that we didn’t get any penalties, and so were at full strength the whole time.” Sisters was to play at home against Ridgeview on Tuesday, April 10. The Outlaws will wrap up their week with a home game against Burns JV on Friday, April 13, and a home game against Sprague on Saturday. Baseball tallies three wins By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws packed in four games and posted wins in three of them last week.

Sisters was down early in the league-opener against the Falcons on Tuesday, but in the bottom of the fifth, Austin Lake singled on a 3-2 count and scored two runs to give the Outlaws a 4-2 advantage. The score held through the seventh, and Sisters posted the win. Zach Morgan went the distance on the mound. Zach allowed five hits and two runs over seven innings, struck-out seven batters, and had zero walks. Hunter Spor, Turner Stutzman, Austin Morss, and Lake each collected one hit in the contest.

Lake, Spor, Morgan and Morss all had hits in the game. Morgan and Lake recorded three RBIs and Fendall posted one RBI.
