16 Wednesday, October 2, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws volleyball drops first league match By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Lady Outlaws went head to head against league rival Sweet Home on Thursday, September 26. Both teams entered the match undefeated in league play and knew it would be a hard- fought, intense match. The Outlaws just couldn9t find their rhythm and lost in three sets with scores of 25-17, 25-21, and 25-23. Sweet Home jumped out to an early lead in Thursday9s match. The Outlaws looked tight and just couldn9t get it going offensively. They never settled down, struggled to keep the ball in the court, and were plagued with way too many missed serves. Sisters fell in three straight sets for the first time this season. Sophie Silva had 10 kills in the match, Greta Davis fol- lowed with eight, and Sam Silva added six. <Playing at Sweet Home during 8camo night9 is always a loud and an intense experi- ence,= said Coach Rory Rush. <While tonight may not have had the outcome we desired, it was a measurement for us. We know what we need to work on and we will get back in the gym, work hard, and make sure we start the second half of our season with new inten- sity and focus.= Three days earlier the Outlaws were able to beat the Stayton Eagles in three, 25-17, 25-21, 25-17, but they were not the aggressive and powerful team they were over the weekend at the Sisters Invitational Tournament. They started the match flat and struggled to find their groove most of the match. In the third set, the Outlaws found themselves down 9-3. Rush called a timeout and Sisters settled down a little bit and worked hard to score the next six points to close the gap. With the game tied 12-12, the Outlaws finally got into a groove. Addy Myhre led the comeback with eight straight service points and gave Sisters a comfortable lead and enough to win the match in three sets. Myhre said, <My team does amazing and we usu- ally have a good connection and spark, but this match we had a rough start. Something seemed like it was missing and there wasn9t any con- nection bringing us together. I missed two serves back to back, as well as hit a ball out. I was so frustrated and it was hard to keep my head up. But, in that third set we got back into a groove, which made our sets gold and our hitting fire!= <When it was my turn to serve I was so nervous that I might miss again, and I could feel my heart start to race. But Wildfire council recommends plan PHOTO BY JERRY BALDOCK Sophie Silva goes up for one of 10 kills in a three-set loss to Sweet Home. I was motivated and fired up because I could feel our team playing with our usual con- fidence and connection. The way we build each other up is how we were able to turn things around.= Greta Davis led the Outlaws with 13 kills, fol- lowed by Sophie Silva who posted 11 kills and two aces. Sam Silva added five kills in the match. Rush said, <Even though we won in three, there was never a time the game felt as though were in control. After a great weekend we stepped on the floor looking sluggish and out of sync. We missed serves, didn9t have consistent passing, and were never really able to get into our offense, and those were all things we did so well at the tournament.= The Lady Outlaws will play at Newport on Wednesday, October 2, and on Saturday they will play in the St. Helen9s Tournament.

McKenzie Hwy. | 541-549-1201 SALEM (AP) 4 A task force created by Gov. Kate Brown says climate change, overstocked forests and understaffed fire teams have placed Oregonians in extreme risk, necessitating a multi-bil- lion-dollar program to safe- guard the state from calamity. The Statesman Journal reports the council held its final meeting Thursday and will submit recommendations to Brown in November. But a look at the council9s prelimi- nary reports indicates they9ll seek billions for fuels treat- ment and ramping up fire- fighting capacity. The draft report proposes big investments, including $40 million biennially for next-generation air tankers, helitack personnel and even a fire training center in south- west Oregon. Some worry the council is focusing too much on wildfire suppression. Brown said in a statement she knows different tools and additional resources are needed and not simply plays from last century9s playbook. CHECK OUT THIS WEEK’S NUGGET INSERTS!
