Wednesday, September 12, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws fall to Valley Catholic on gridiron By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws suffered a 41-16 loss to the Valiants at Valley Catholic (VC) on Fri- day, September 7. VC jumped out quick against the Outlaws and com- pleted a deep pass on their first possession of the game, which set them up for their first score. On their next series, they completed a touchdown pass and went up 15-0. The Valiants continued to run the ball and the Outlaws were unable stop them. As teams headed to the locker room at the half, VC held a 29-0 advantage. Coach Neil Fendall said, “Our boys, battered and bruised, came out in the second half and continued to fight. They are a close group, and they stick together through rough times as well as any group I’ve coached. What always amazes me is kids’ ability to be humble, and con- tinue to compete, regardless of the situation.” VC tacked on 11 more points in the third quarter to push their lead to 41-0. Sisters was able to score twice in the final quarter. Gator Haken scored on an 11-yard rush, and Trey Stadeli scored on a six-yard rush. “By the end of the night, the guys seemed to find a way to make us proud, as it can be pretty tough to get through a game with our low number of players,” said Fendall. “There are about eight to 10 guys that play almost every snap, and another eight to 10 who only get small rests here and there.” The Outlaws finished the night with 206 yards rush- ing and two touchdowns, and 44 yards passing, with two interceptions. Haken recorded 167 yards rushing and one touchdown, and Stadeli finished with one rushing TD and two receptions. “Gator had, by far, his best game as an Outlaw, and his maturity and toughness have improved tremendously,” said Fendall. Korbin Sharp had a 33-yard reception, and over 15 yards per punt return. Brogan Pet- terson averaged over 32 yards per punt in his first action on the field as a punter. On defense, Ethan Martin returned to his natural posi- tion of defensive end and was a force to be reckoned with as he led the team with nine tackles. Hunter Sport recorded seven tackles, and Matt Harris and Ben Johnson added five each. “We still have an inex- perienced team, but kids are growing up fast,” said Fen- dall. “Logan Curtis, Hunter Spor, Brayden Way, and Cam- eron Wessel are all kids who have been thrust into posi- tions before they’re ready, but they have responded well and look like they belong. They’re all tough kids. And I’ve got to give props to kids like Anthony Randolph who play positions kids his size shouldn’t be playing, and just toughs it out week after week. He’s a selfless kid who puts it on the line every week.” Fendall said, “This team will keep working to improve, and they represent our school, our town, and our football cul- ture well. They are connected to each other, care about their teammates, and com- pete for the man next to them every week. We are 0-2 at the moment, but we are yet to walk off the field without our chins up, and heads held high.” The Outlaws are scheduled to play at home against Crook County Friday, September 14. Lady Outlaws sweep volleyball play By Rongi Yost Correspondent Great play from the ser- vice line resulted in sweeps for the Lady Outlaws this past week. Sisters kicked off league play at Newport on Tuesday, September 4, with a straight three-set win with scores of 25-13, 25-4, and 25-5. At home two days later, the Outlaws trounced the Cougars 25-16, 25-6, and 25-17. In Tuesday’s road match, serving was the key to the Outlaws’ success, with Sisters posting 20 aces on the night. The strong serves prevented Newport from finding a rhythm in their offensive play. Sisters’ great passes and offensive play gave them a total of 21 kills and five blocks in the match. Sophie Silva led the team with eight kills, two blocks, and five aces. Sam Silva fol- lowed with seven kills, one block and seven aces. Kendra Sitz recorded four kills and three aces. Ellie Rush dished out 20 assists and tallied three aces at the service line. Coach Rory Rush said, “We played a great game from start to finish. We were strong from the serving line and aggressive at the net. It was a great way for us to start league. Two days later, the Outlaws repeated with another fine performance and a sweep at home over the Cougars. The Outlaws were strong from the service line, and posted 15 aces as a team. They also did a great job of spreading their offense between their hitters. Sisters recorded 23 kills and eight blocks. Addy Myhre, Greta Davis, and Kendra Sitz all made five kills in the contest. Myhre and Sitz also served up four aces each, and Davis tallied three blocks. PHOTO PROVIDED Greta Davis makes a block in volleyball action against Cascade.

Rush said, “We still have a lot of work to do, but each game we continue to improve and find more chemistry on the floor.” The Outlaws were to play at Woodburn on Tuesday, S e p t e m b e r 11 . S i s t e r s will play at home against Philomath on Thursday, September 13.
