Wednesday, January 30, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon ame losing streak Lady Outlaws snap two-game By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws snapped their two-game losing streak with a 47-29 road win at Sweet Home on Tuesday, January 22. Sisters was tenacious on defense and pressed the Huskies all four quarters. In the first quarter, teams played even and at the close of the period the Outlaws held a slim one-point lead at 6-5. In the second quarter, the Outlaws continued to play tough defense and really started to hit their shots. At the half they9d built a sub- stantial 24-15 advantage. The Outlaws came out aggressive and in charge at the start of the third. They scored immediately and continued to widen the gap. Sisters9 tenacious pressure wore down the Huskies, and the Outlaws continued to convert on the offensive end and knocked down big shots. Sisters outscored the Huskies 23-14 in the final half and easily earned the win. Meagan Greaney said, <This win was a great way to end the first half of league. During the second half, we played aggressively, and our press was extremely effective in forcing turnovers. All of us trusted the game plan and played tough. We feel confi- dent heading into the second half of league because we have had really focused and intense practices these past couple of weeks. Recently, our team has been playing very well together and we9re starting to click on the court.= Sisters had balanced scor- ing throughout the squad with nine different players con- tributing points. Lexi Stewart led the team with 11 points, and Greaney followed with 10. RylieReece Morgan and Payden Petterson scored six points each, Kaylee Huber had five, Sophia Bianchi and Isabelle Spitler posted three points each, Sydney Head had two, and Gracen Sundstrom added one. Sisters was also a force on the glass. Morgan pulled down nine rebounds and Greaney had eight. Head and Petterson grabbed four boards and Bianchi recorded three. 541-549-9388 SISTERS Blue Moonstone & Diamond Spitler, Stewart, and Morgan each had three steals. Coach Brittaney Niebergall-Brown said, <We played very well. I really loved our team9s aggres- sive defense. We pressed the entirety of the game and created some scoring oppor- tunities for our offensive game. We pressed on makes and misses and tried to make Sweet Home as uncomfort- able as we could, and we rebounded with more author- ity against a much taller and bigger opponent. We also limited our turnovers and were able to control more of the game from the guard posi- tion, and that really helped our tempo as a team.= The previous week was a completely different story. The Outlaws struggled to get points on the scoreboard and dropped their games against Philomath and Stayton. On Tuesday, January 15, Philomath9s size, strength, and skill was no match for the Outlaws. In the first quar- ter, Sisters went down 0-21 before they were able to score. With two-and-a-half minutes left in the period, Isabelle Spitler hit a nice shot from behind the arc to give the Outlaws their first and only score in the quarter.

There were a couple highlights for the Outlaws in the third quar- ter: Sundstrom stole the ball, and drove the floor for the score, and Bianchi grabbed an offensive board and made a put-back for two. In the final period, fresh- man Emma Lutz drove and made a nice lay-in, and also hit a three-pointer, for the Outlaws9 last five points in the game. <The athleticism of Philomath really made it dif- ficult for us from the start of the game,= said Niebergall- Brown. <Our girls played hard throughout the game and were able to put together 5 lane against S Stayton. a more productive second half. We are still challenging our girls to stay focused with high energy for all four quar- ters of the game.= Three days later at Stayton, it was a similar situ- ation. The Outlaws were held scoreless in the first quarter, and at the half trailed 24-8. The Eagles continued to hit their shots and outscored Sisters 19-11 in the second half. The Lady Outlaws were scheduled to host Newport on Tuesday, January 29. They will play on the road at Cascade on Friday. The Outlaws are currently 3-3 in league play, and 5-13 overall.
