6 Wednesday, April 17, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws had busy week on tennis court By Rongi Yost Correspondent The boys tennis team was able to get in three matches this past week: a win in their first match at home against Molalla on Tuesday, April 9, followed by an unfortunate first-league loss to Cascade a day later, and a win over Philomath on Friday to wrap up the week. Tuesday9s match against the Indians ended in a four- four tie, with Sisters winning the tiebreaker by virtue of a 71-60 advantage in games won. The Outlaws easily won all four of their singles matches. Jed Kizziar (No. 1) defeated Eric Jones 6-3, 6-0, and improved to 5-2 in singles matches. Nate Weber got off to a quick start, and won his first match against Lucas Kendrup 6-0. Nate wrapped it up with a 6-4 win to take the match in two straight sets. Keaton Green continued to improve and impress as he stepped up to the No. 3 spot and cruised to a 6-0, 6-1, win over Tony Morphin. Green is now 4-2 in singles play. Brogan Petterson, normally a doubles player, won his first singles match of the year (No. 4) with a 6-0, 6-2, victory over Matt Stephens. The convinc- ing singles wins helped put the Outlaws over the top in the team tiebreaker. A day later, the Outlaws9 string of wins came to a halt when they lost at home to Cascade. This match also ended in a tie, but this time the Outlaws lost the tiebreaker in games-won, 79-82. The big match of the day was in No. 1 singles between Nate Weber and Ben Suelze. Suelze won in three tight sets, and Coach Carl Click told The Nugget it was the closest and best tennis he9s seen all season. Weber lost a couple deuce points in the no-ad scor- ing, with unforced errors that could have flipped the third and deciding set. <The two players pounded the ball from the baseline, and when they came to the net there were many quick exchanges,= said Click. <Parents and fans and coaches watching frequently broke out in applause after long, athletic points no matter who won.= Kizziar sailed to a 6-3, 6-1, No. 2 singles win over Jake Sturgen. Jed is 6-2 in singles play. Green added a 6-2, 6-4, No. 3 singles win over Justine Torres. The win moved Keaton to 5-2 in singles play. Aaron Johnson and Sam Mayes (No. 2 doubles) earned a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3, hard-fought victory over Bradyn Burdorf and Luke Stone. Click told The Nugget it was an espe- cially satisfying win for the duo, as over the past two years they have come out on the losing end of several close matches. In another match, Colton Seymour and Aspen Geisen got a 6-4, 7-5, win over Surl Garcia and Spencer Hawkes, and are 4-1 as a team. On Friday at Black Butte Ranch, the Outlaws earned a win over Philomath in a make-up match that was can- celed earlier in the season due to the rain. Teams split four matches, but Sisters won the tiebreaker with a 9-6 advan- tage in sets. Weber (No. 2 singles) and Green (No. 3 singles) both cruised to easy victories. Nate Frontiers in Science defeated James Erickson 6-1, 6-2, and Green beat Filp Furuleth 6-1, 6-2. Seymour, usually a doubles player, didn9t win his No. 4 singles match, but won the first set in a three-set loss, which proved to be the difference for the Outlaws. Final scores were 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. <Colton played his best tennis of the season with continuous hard fore- hand top-spin ground strokes,= said Click. <His opponent, Noah Aynes, just seemed to get everything back, and out- Nate Weber lasted Seymour.= zeroes in on a Bates and Collins-Burke had an impressive 6-1, 6-1, win over Ben Gary forehand shot. and Trevor Foster at No. 3 doubles. Sisters9 fourth win came as a for- feit in the No. 4 doubles match since PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Philomath was only able to bring 10 players to the match. Kizziar lost 6-3, 6-2, to Colton Beckstead in No. 1 singles. Last year Jed beat Beckstead twice, which included a win in the district Featured championship match.

Dr. Daniel Lowd, University of Oregon, Computer and Information Science Can you always spot “fake news?” Human fact-checkers simply cannot stem the flood tides of misinformation on the Internet. Fake news is linked to vaccine panics, genocide in Myanmar, terrorist attacks in the U.S., & the outcome of the 2016 presidential election. Can science help? Maybe. Artificial intelligence programs can find patterns in text and graphs, but AI itself can be fooled.
