Wednesday, April 10, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 9 Girls tennis continue winning streak Ore. Senate Lady OKs daylight Outlaws saving time lacrosse posts first home win By Rongi Yost Correspondent By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws posted a 12-5 win over Grant High School in a non-league game at home on Saturday, April 6 4 despite having no sub- stitutes to give players a breather. Sisters9 10 players were on the field the entire contest, and played with heart, confidence, and deter- mination to earn the win. Sisters took the lead and never trailed during the game. At the half, the Outlaws were on top 7-2; they kept the scoring going in the second half and won by seven. Sydney Head and Mary Root each scored a hat trick to lead the Outlaws to victory. Of Root9s three goals, the most memorable came in the second half, and started with a dropped ball by Grant. Josie Aylor came from the defensive end into the mid- field to pick up the beauti- ful ground ball, and fed a leading pass across the field into the attack area to Pearl Gregg. Pearl immediately fed it to Mary, who was alone in the eight-meter and sent the ball in for the score. One of Head9s three goals came off a new play the team had been practic- ing called Toast and Jam. The play incorporates every girl on the attack side of the field in order to allow the girl with the ball to have an open lane to the goal. The Lady Outlaws worked the play to perfection and moved all the defenders out of the eight, which allowed Head to run to the goal and score. Several other Outlaws contributed in the scoring effort. Ellie Cook and Kaylee Huber scored two goals each, and Skylar Wilkins and Pearl Gregg each had two. Gregg also had three assists in the contest, and Root led the team with six groundballs. <I couldn9t be more proud of these girls,= said Coach Shelby Wilcox. <Although it wasn9t a league game, I9m happy to be 3-0! This is such a coachable group of girls!= The Outlaws will play on the road against Redmond United on Thursday, April 11, and then host Wilson on Saturday. The recent snowy weather hasn9t seemed to affect the girls tennis team at all. They continued their winning streak and improved their record to 3-0 on Wednesday, April 3, with a 6-2 at home over North Marion. It was the first time the Lady Outlaws have been able to play on their home court. Sisters got wins in three singles matches, as well as three wins in doubles play. Rheanna Salisbury (No. 1 singles) defeated M. Cha in two straight sets. Strong play with consistent ground strokes, as well as solid serves, earned her a 6-2 first- set win, followed by a perfect 6-0 second-set win. Ramsey Schar (No. 2 sin- gles) also had a strong per- formance, and beat C. Jones 6-1, 6-2. Ramsey served well and also had strong ground strokes which helped her earn the win. Holly Wertz (No. 4 sin- gles) defeated S. Mariscal 6-0, 6-3. Holly played steady throughout the match and had good ball placement on the court. The Outlaws also got wins from their No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 doubles teams. Lola Green and Hallie Schwartz (No. 1) lost their first set to K. June and E. Cha with a score of 5-7, but fought back hard and took the next two sets, 6-3, 6-3, for the win. PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Hallie Schwartz returns ball vs. North Marion. Alexa Asson and Mattie Mynatt (No. 2) beat O. Bedolla and L. Garibay 6-3, 6-2. The duo took control early, were relaxed in their play, and communicated well. Molly Winter and Ellie Rush played their first match as a doubles team (No. 3). The duo struggled a bit with positioning at the start of the match, but quickly found their groove, capitalized on their opponents weaknesses and posted a 7-5, 6-2 win. Coach Alan VonStein said, <All the varsity and JV played strong and are making improvements in their play and application to strategy. It9s been tough as we yet have not been able to have an out- door practice due to the rain.= The Outlaws will have a full week of tennis ahead. They were scheduled to play at Philomath on Monday, April 8, and Tuesday at Molalla. They will play at Cascade on Wednesday, April 10, at home against Henley on Friday, and attend the Madras Invitational on Saturday. SALEM (AP) 4 The Oregon Senate has approved a measure to abolish the yearly time change and remain on daylight saving time. Lawmakers on Thursday voted 23-4 to skip returning to standard time every fall. Areas in Oregon that are in the Mountain Time Zone are exempt and will still need to reset their clocks every year. Only a part of one east- ern county in Oregon is on Mountain Time. The rest of the state is contained in the Pacific Time Zone. The measure will be sent to the House for consider- ation. Gov. Kate Brown has signaled her support for per- manent daylight saving, an effort that9s gained consider- able momentum and got the approval of President Trump.
