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.
