6 Wednesday, October 30, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Outlaws post win over Sweet Home By Rongi Yost Correspondent The Outlaws young soccer squad has had a rough season, but their diligence and hard work finally paid off when they beat Sweet Home 4-0 on the road on Thursday, October 24, for their first league win of the season. Sisters9 scrappy sopho- more Ricky Huffman scored the first goal of the game in the seventh minute to give the Outlaws a 1-0 lead. Coach Jeff Husmann said, <Ricky is an incredibly ath- letic individual, and his ball- handling skills have improved tremendously this season.= The Outlaws9 defense was on point and kept the Huskies out of Sisters9 end most of the first half. The defense was led by Simon Rhett, Nathaniel Alvarez, Noah Pittman, and Sean Alvarez. Sisters created many opportunities for themselves when they got their wing players to the end line, but just couldn9t get the score. Finally, Connor Linn ripped a Indian Ford Bridge reopened Indian Ford Bridge on the Sisters Ranger District of the Deschutes National Forest has reopened for equestrian, hiking and biking use along the Sisters Tie Trail. A Forest Service contrac- tor replaced the old bridge with a new one in early October. The original bridge was condemned in 2013 and removed in 2015 due to rot. Unlike the original bridge, the new bridge will not accommodate motor vehicles. The contractor replaced the bridge, concrete abut- ments, lateral supports, and installed a railing system designed for equestrian use. <We are glad we were able to replace the bridge so peo- ple can continue to enjoy rec- reating in the area,= said Ian Reid, Sisters District ranger.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Huffman scored his second goal of the night off a beautifully crafted assist from Ethan Eckert. Husmann had praise for senior and team leader Eckert. <Ethan truly has been the steady of our team, and will certainly be missed,= said Husmann. <His selfless and tenacious style of play will certainly allow him to play at the collegiate level, which he aspires to do.= Husmann told The Nugget that their final goal came from an unlikely source in fresh- man Bela Chladek. <Though Bela has had lim- ited minutes this season, he positioned himself in the right Holistic Mental Health Solutions Medication Management Counseling • Functional Medicine Breaking News Classifieds | Weather Road Reports Audry Van Houweling PMHNP-BC Now Accepting Insurance 541-595-8337 • www.shesoarspsych.com 102 E.

Time ran out on the clock and the Outlaws recorded their first league win of the season. Two days earlier Sisters dropped their game at home against Stayton in a final score of 1-9. The Outlaws only goal came midway through the second half when Huffman chipped the ball over the keeper9s head from approximately 25 yards out. Husmann stated that Huffman really has a nose for the goal and has been the Outlaws9 leading scorer this year. The highlight of the match for the Outlaws was the clinic that junior Nathaniel Alvarez put on as keeper. His 32 saves on the night prevented the score from being even more lopsided. <Nathaniel is a very Sisters Dental Trevor Frideres d.m.d. p 541-549-9486 f 541-549-9110 410 E. Cascade Ave. • P.O.

We knew we were going to be on defense most of the match, so it was a great opportunity to see his skills shine in the defeat.= Husmann was thankful for the coaching help he got this first season as head coach, and noted his two assistants. <Roger, Nathaniel9s dad, is our goal-keeper coach and has done an outstanding job this season working with all our players. We are lucky to have the quality of coaching from the assistant coaches, Kevin Eckert and Roger Alvarez. They are knowledgeable and share a passion for the beau- tiful game. We complement each other well. They both have a wealth of experience, and their humble attitude makes it fun to work with them.=
