4 Wednesday, June 6, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Boys lacrosse names all-league picks New leadership to take reins at Sisters schools By Rongi Yost Correspondent Five Outlaws earned all- league recognition this year, including seniors Casey Warburton, Ethan Morgan, and Jared Richerson; as well as juniors Matt Harris and Trey Stadeli. Warburton was a first- team pick at the goalie posi- tion, and has been a varsity starter for the Outlaws for four years. Casey faced shots head-on, and didn’t flinch as the solid rubber ball came at him at approximately 80 miles per hour. Assistant Coach Doug Hull said, “Casey prepared for his senior season by attending goalie camps and working with me. He has been a vocal leader on the defensive side of the ball for years, and the other coaches in the league noticed that as well. They also noted that he always has a smile on his face! Casey rarely gets down on himself for missing a save or making a mistake. Next-play mental- ity is necessary when you play goalie in lacrosse because of the unusual high goals faced and scored. Casey has also mentored our younger play- ers, and any time you ask him to do something he says cheerfully, ‘Yes, Coach!’ He is well deserving of this award based on the time and commitment to play lacrosse at a high level. He would love to play in college and talked about walking on at Oregon State.” Morgan was a second- team attack selection. Ethan was a team captain for the Outlaws, and their leading scorer this season. He took 152 shots at the goal, and 34 of them hit their mark. “Ethan is more known to the team as ‘Cap’ because he’s been the captain of this team since his sophomore year,” said Hull. “Cap is asked to handle the ball more, because of his good dodging and cra- dling skills. The team can trust if we get him the ball he will move it around, and then get a shot off. Lacrosse is a posses- sion game and it doesn’t have a shot clock like basketball, so you can possess the ball as long as you are able, and this is one of Cap’s strengths. As a second-team selection they look at the ground ball (GB) stat. This stat means when the ball is loose on the field you need to pick it up, and control it, and Cap led the team with 60 GBs.” Harris was a second-team defense pick, and has played on the varsity squad since he was a freshman. He had 57 GBs, the second-best on the team. “Matt anchors the defense with his great stick skills,” said Hull. “He can be one of the hardest defenders to play against when that switch gets turned on. If you know Matt, you know he is a very lik- able guy with an easygoing attitude. He puts in the effort to get better year-round, and this is a nice achievement for him.” Stadeli earned honorable mention at attack. Trey scored 21 goals, and led the team with 11 assists. He also had 34 GBs. “Trey is a very well- rounded player who knows the game of lacrosse as well as anyone on the team,” said Hull. “He was our assist leader, and to get an assist you need to make the pass, and then have a quick shot for a goal. Trey is always looking for the cutter and the one who can finish the play with a goal. He, like Cap, will make plays with his feet, and try to create offense by dodging. Trey had many multiple-goal games.” Richerson was an hon- orable mention midfielder. Jared has only played lacrosse for two years, but in that time, he’s made rapid improve- ment, and was third on the team with 54 GBs. “Jared is a true workhorse, with a minimal knowledge of the game,” said Hull. “Jared always went out and gave his best in every area, but his big- gest help was getting ground balls. He would go in hard to a stream of boys, come out with the ball, and use his speed to get away from the group. Jared would be able to control the ball at the midfield and get the possession into the offensive side to get a chance for a score. Jared was very coachable and always wanted to know how he could get bet- ter. He was another kid who often had a smile on his face, no matter the situation in the game.” Two new leaders will be in place for the 2018-19 school year in Sisters. Schools Superintendent Curt Scholl announced that the district has hired a new principal for Sisters Elementary School and a new principal for Sisters Middle School. “We started our search for our new Elementary School Principal with 22 appli- cants,” Scholl reported. “On May 15, a panel of 14 stake- holders interviewed the five candidates. After deliberation and reference checks, we are excited to announce that Joan Warburg has accepted the position and will be the new SES Principal starting in the 2018-2019 school year.” Warburg has been a Sisters-area resident for the past two years and has served in educational com- munities for the last 34 years. She is currently serv- ing as the assistant principal at Bear Creek Elementary School in Bend. Prior to her time in Bend, she worked for three years as principal of Hendrick Ranch Elementary School in Moreno Valley, California prior to moving to Sisters. During her tenure at Hendrick Ranch, the school received the California G o l d R i b b o n Aw a r d and Title I Achievement Award. Prior to being a principal, Warburg served two years as an assistant principal and four years as an academic coach, where she focused on best-practice instruction in the classroom and targeted professional development to improve student learning. She spent her childhood in Ecuador, and brings with her a sense of cultural diversity as well as being bilingual. Alison Baglien has accepted the position as the new Sisters Middle School principal starting in the 2018- 2019 school year. Baglien has been involved in education for 17 years. She is currently serving as a resident principal in Chicago Public Schools. Prior to her time at CPS she worked as a part of the administra- tive team as the RtI-MTSS Coordinator and Academic Interventionist at Acero Charter Schools. She spent a decade in the Archdiocese of Chicago as a K-4 teacher and inclusion specialist. In between her time at the arch- diocese and charter school network, she spent a year abroad volunteering in vari- ous parts of the world. “We are excited about the breadth and depth of experi- ences Ms. Baglien will bring with her to Sisters,” Scholl said. Baglien was to visit Sisters on June 5 to spend the day at Sisters Middle School and to be introduced to the school board that evening.
