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.

The Outlaws packed in
four games and posted wins
in three of them last week.
Sisters posted back-to-back
wins early in the week: a 4-2
win over Elmira at home on
Tuesday, April 3, and an 11-3
victory over Cascade a day
later. On Friday, the Outlaws
split their games in their dou-
ble-header at home against
Sutherlin: a 7-3 win followed
by a 9-3 loss.
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.
The Outlaws’ defense was
sure-handed, with zero errors
in the game. Lake led the
defense with nine plays.
Sisters scored their four
runs on four hits and zero
errors, and Elmira scored two
runs on five hits and three
errors.
The following day, the
Outlaws crushed Cascade

The Outlaws didn’t let up,
kept the runs rolling in, and
posted the win
Sisters tallied 11 hits in the
game, with Luz leading the
team with three hits. Dillon
Tucker and Garrett Vohs had
two hits each. The defense
was once again perfect, with
zero errors.
On Friday, the Outlaws
wrapped up their week with
a double-header at home
against Sutherlin.
Sisters bested the Bulldogs
in the first game. Zach
Morgan’s homer on a 3-2
count that scored three was
the highlight of the contest.
Austin Morss did a great
job on the mound; he struck
out six batters and had zero
walks. The defense kept their
perfect record going with
zero errors. Taylor Fendall
made nine plays for the
Outlaws.
Lake, Spor, Morgan and
Morss all had hits in the
game. Morgan and Lake
recorded three RBIs and
Fendall posted one RBI.
The tides shifted in the sec-
ond game, and the Bulldogs
came out on top, despite the
fact that the Outlaws out-hit
Sutherlin 9-4.
The Outlaws scored a run
on a sacrifice fly from Dillon
Tucker
in the
first inning,
and in the bottom of the sec-
ond tied it up 3-3 on a Pherry
Luz single.
In the top of the fifth,
the game was tied 3-3. The
Bulldogs scored two runs
on a double to regain the
lead. Sutherlin scored four
more runs in the contest and
secured the win.
Stutzman pitched the first
four innings for the Outlaws.
Turner allowed three runs on
one hit and struck out four.
Luz and Spor came in as
relief.
Luz, Scholl, and Vohs
each had two hits in the game.
Morgan recorded a double,
and Tucker and Stutzman sin-
gled. The Outlaws left seven
players on base.
