Outlaws advance into quarterfinals
Correspondent
The boys tennis squad
competed in the first round
of the 4A/3A/2A/1A Special
District 2 Championships
on Thursday, May 3. Three
Outlaws, Jed Kizziar, Nate
Weber, and Isaiah Chapen
advanced to the second round
of 16, which was sched-
uled for Monday, May 6, at
Black Butte Ranch (BBR).
The semi-finals and finals
will be at BBR on Thursday,
May 10.
Top-seed Kizziar domi-
nated play in his victory over
his opponent from North
Marion, 6-0, 6-0. Weber
defeated Ivan Ochoa of
Stayton 6-0, 6-2.
Coach Carl Click said,
“Jed and Nate were much
better tennis players than
their opponents. Nate played
the top kid from Stayton, but
Nate has improved so much
over the season that he’s as
good as most teams’ No. 1.
“There will eventually be
really good competition for
both of them, but they can’t
be looking ahead, and have to
take care of business against
lesser opponents. It’s also a
good opportunity to work on
a part of your game that you
will need against stronger
competition,” added Click.
Isaiah Chapen beat
Workman of Philomath
6-3,1-6, 6-2.
“Isaiah’s match was three
sets,” said Click. “He breezed
in the first. His opponent
adjusted to his quirky game
and took the second set rather
easily, and Isaiah went down
0-2 in the final set. At the
change-over, I gave Isaiah
two strategy points to focus
on, and then told Isaiah, who
trains in Mixed Martial Arts
(MMA), ‘You’re in a cage
fight, and if I’m in a fight,
I want you on my side. Go
MMA this kid off the court.’
He won the final six games to
win the match!”
Jackson Rheuben lost
his first match, but won two
consolation matches; an 8-1
victory over Gabriel Miller
of Estacada and an 8-5 win
over Holt Porfily of Crook
County. Rheuben will play in
the consolation finals.
George Bates and Drew
Collins-Burke advanced to
the quarterfinals by default,
as the team from North
Marion was unable to play.
The other three doubles
teams lost their first round
match, and were eliminated
in consolation play.
Earlier in the week, on
Monday, Sisters capital-
ized on their experience and
recorded a 7-1 victory over
Estacada in the last league
match of the season. The
Rangers had many first-year
players, so victories for the
Outlaws came easily. Sisters
swept the singles matches
and won three of the four
doubles matches.
Kizziar finished league
undefeated at 8-0 with his
decisive 6-1, 6-0 win over
Cody Syring. The win gave
Jed the top seed at No. 1 sin-
gles at District.
Weber (No. 2 singles)
also controlled the court in
his 6-1, 6-0 win over Tai
Shibahara, and wrapped up
his league play at 7-1. Isaiah
Chapen (No. 3 singles) made
quick work of Jeffery Lippert
and won with scores of 6-1,
6-0, to finish 4-3 in league
play.
Jackson Rheuben, first-
year player, won his first
match of the season. Jackson
survived a 7-6 tiebreaker in
the first set, and then sailed
to a 6-0 second-set win.
Eli Gurney and Brogan
Petterson beat Gabriel
Martinez and Grant Wagner
in a very close 7-5, 6-4
match. The victory marked
the duo’s third league win at
the No. 1 doubles spot.
“As the Outlaws’ No. 1
riv
er
• s
ail •
team, they always
face the stron-
gest team
from the
opposition,”
said Click. “They’ve
suffered some tough losses,
so it was nice for them to
come out on top in a tight
match.”
George Bates and Drew
Collins-Burke (No. 3 dou-
bles) persevered in a 7-6 tie-
breaker in the first set against
Fernando Villafarla and
Casey Pinto, and then rolled
to a 6-1 second-set win.
Tu ck er Hi g g i n s an d
Colton Seymour (No. 4 dou-
bles) defeated James Rich
and Jon Juker 6-4, 7-6.
The Outlaws wrapped up
league with a 4-3-1 record.
