Wednesday, September 12, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 9 Outlaws bounce bacp for soccer win Volleyball team places third at tournament By Rongi Yost Correspondent The boys soccer squad was shut out 2-0 at home in their game against Newport on Tuesday, September 4, but two days later bounced back and shut down the Cascade Cougars on their home field. In Tuesday’s action, Sisters gave up two goals late in the first half, at the 34- and 38-minute mark. Both goals came due to miscommunica- tion from the Outlaws mid- field and defense. Coach Rob Jensen told The Nugget the Outlaws tightened things up, switched formation in the second half, and created some good scor- ing opportunities. The team started to control the game the last 20 minutes of the contest, but couldn’t find the back of the net. Jensen noted the play of several players. “Connor (Linn) played really well at center-back and Samson (Henneous) made some really nice saves. Orry (Abbenhuis) and Skyler (Larson) really played with more confidence and started to piece together some passes later in the game.” Two days later, the Outlaws turned the tides and beat the Cougars 3-0. Asher Bachtold broke free of several defenders and scored a left-footed shot past the keeper into the right side at the 11-minute mark to get the Outlaws on the score- board.

The Outlaws scored two goals in the last 11 minutes of the contest to seal the win. In the 69th minute, Bachtold delivered a direct kick from 45 yards, and Simon Rhett ran on to score a goal going one-on-one with the keeper. Ten minutes later, Dalton Gonzales rounded the corner on the right side and sent a short cross on the ground to Skyler Larson, who finished for the score. Jensen told The Nugget that Larson, Bachtold, and Abbenhuis all worked hard to contain the middle and dis- tribute the ball to the wings. Outside backs Sam Nicklous and Hudson Jones stepped up to contain the Cougars’ out- side attack and prevented any counters. Dillon Tucker filled in for Samson Henneous in the goal and provided good leadership to the squad. The Outlaws were to play at home against Woodburn on Tuesday, September 11. They will travel to Philomath on Thursday for a game against the Warriors. The Lady Outlaws fin- ished third out of 16 teams at the Cascade Invitational held on Saturday, September 8. Kennedy beat Sweet Home in three straight sets to take top honors. Six of the squads in attendance were from the top 10 coaches poll, and all 16 teams came with their best play. The Outlaws played a hard pool schedule against Kennedy, the top 2A team in the state, and Scappoose. Sisters went undefeated, and earned a first-place tie with Cottage Grove as teams headed into bracket play. In the first round of bracket play, Sisters went up against league foe Cascade, and defeated the Cougars 25-13, 25-7. Their serves were once again on point, and the team posted seven aces. The Outlaws were powerful at the net and tallied 18 kills in the match. Next up, Sisters faced Sweet Home, another league opponent and rival. The Huskies were the only team last year that took the Outlaws to five sets in both match-ups of the season. Sisters played well the first set this go-round, and tal- lied 16 kills, three blocks, and three aces. It was a battle back and forth in the next two very competitive sets, where the Outlaws came up short 22-25, 16-18. The Outlaws finished the tourney with 101 kills, 20 blocks, and 36 aces. Kendra Sitz led the squad with 31 kills and eight serving aces. Sam Silva followed with 29 kills and four aces, and Greta Davis added 19 kills and 10 big blocks. Sophie Silva recorded 13 kills, six blocks, and six aces, and Addy Myhre contributed 11 kills and five aces. Ellie Rush dished out 101 assists and four aces. Coach Rory Rush said, “We had a great day of volleyball. The Cascade Tournament is always a long day, and this year we faced some tough competition. We were able to fine tune some things, but we also have some things to work on as we head back to practice. As a team, we keep improving with every set. It was excit- ing to see our level of play this weekend, and we look forward to continuing to bet- ter with each match.” CHECK OUT this week’s Nugget inserts!
