Outlaws tennis beats North Marion
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The boys tennis team
posted their first win of the
season with a 4-0 victory
over North Marion (NM) on
Friday, April 13. Three days
earlier, the Outlaws wrapped
up their match at home
against Molalla in a tie.
Sisters was scheduled
to play at North Marion on
Friday, but due to rain on the
west side, the NM boys came
over the hill with the girls
team, and the boys match
was also played in Sisters.
Sisters came out on top
in both the No. 1 and No. 2
singles and doubles spots.
As NM could not field a full
team, No. 3 singles and dou-
bles and No. 4 singles and
doubles matches were not
played.
Jed Kizziar (No. 1 sin-
gles) bumped his league
record to 3-0 with a 6-0, 6-4
win over Gabe Frita.
Weber (No. 2 singles)
defeated Freddy Rios
6-2, 6-2, to move him to
3-0 in league.
Eli Gurney and
Brogan Petterson (No. 1
doubles) posted a 6-1, 6-1
victory over Jai Levine and
Kyle McConkey. The duo
have come close in several
earlier matches, but this win
marked their first victory of
the season.
Aaron Johnson and Sam
Mayes, at No. 2 doubles,
trounced Tate Durst and
Sean Harris with scores of
6-0, 6-0.
Three days earlier, the
Outlaws match against
Molalla finished in a tie, even
after two tie-breakers. Both
teams won four matches, 10
sets, and 92 games.
At the No. 1 singles spot,
Kizziar lost his first set in a
tie-breaker against Logan
Child 6-7, and needed a big
comeback in the second set
to stay alive. Jed trailed 1-5
in the second set, and the
outcome looked bleak, but
Kizziar came back and won
six consecutive games to
take the second set 7-6. He
took that momentum and
sailed to a 6-0 final-set win.
Weber (No. 2 singles)
won his second match of the
season with a 6-4, 6-3 victory
over Eric Jones.
“Nate continues to
improve,” said Coach Carl
Click. “He moved his oppo-
nent around the court well to
set up his winners from both
the net and the baseline.”
Johnson and Mayes (No.
2 doubles) earned a three-set
win (6-2, 4-6, 6-2) over Viol
and Teo.
Tucker Higgins and Jack
Bullis got their first win
of the season at the No. 4
doubles spot. With the team
outcome on the line, Higgins
and Bullis won their first
set in a tiebreaker, and then
cruised to a 6-1 second-set
win.
“Bullis discovered the joy
of putting away points at the
net, sometimes with a little
extra energy, and it paid off,”
said Click.
Click told The Nugget that
it was a good week for the
Outlaws.
“We won four matches in
the tie against Molalla, and
then got our first team vic-
tory over North Marion,”
said Click. “After taking our
lumps from bigger schools,
with more experienced ten-
nis players, we are now
learning how to win our
individual matches, and that
makes for team success. We
want that success to continue
in the remaining matches
against our other league
opponents.”
The Outlaws will play
at home against Stayton on
Thursday, April 19.
