Wednesday, December 18, 2019 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon BASKETBALL: Lady Outlaws tuning up in preseason Continued from page 7 and this second game against Elmira. I thought we got solid play and performance from all of the girls. I was really, really proud of our play and effort, and we9re looking forward to our next challenge. <Hallie (Schwartz) was a strong leader at the point guard position, not only with her decision-making and floor play, but also with scoring 11 points. Payden (Petterson) probably had her most effi- cient all-around game in her young high school career so far; she scored well for us and played aggressive on defense. Josie (Patton), RylieReece (Morgan), Josie (Aylor), and Gracen (Sundstrom) all con- tinued to battle inside and controlled the boards.= Three days later, the Outlaws dropped their game against the Lady Hawks at La Pine in a final score of 29-46. The contest was a tale of two halves. The Outlaws played very competitively and were on top 9-8 at the close of the first quarter. In the second period, Aylor scored four of the Outlaws9 seven points, and at the half Sisters trailed by just two, 16-18. In the second half, it was a physical battle down low. La Pine9s physical play took over and they outscored the Outlaws 28-13. Aylor and Sundstrom led the Outlaws with six points each, and Petterson and Schwartz both recorded five points. <It was a good learning experience for our girls as we continue to use our pre-sea- son to prep for league,= said Brown. <I thought we handled their ball pressure early in the game very well, but in the sec- ond half their inside physical play made it difficult for us to generate much offense inside. I thought the girls competed well and played hard through- out the entire game.= Sisters was scheduled to play at home against Cottage Grove on Tuesday, December 17. The team will travel to Marshfield High School on Thursday to participate in their holiday tournament. The girls competed well and played hard throughout the entire game. — Brittaney Brown Blue Christmas service scheduled Over 60 years ago, Elvis Presley crooned <I9ll have a blue Christmas without you&= His love song touches the depth of sadness some people feel at Christmas when the emphasis on joy all around can magnify experi- ences of grief and loss. For many in the Sisters community, this year will mark the first Christmas with- out a loved one, without a job, without a marriage, without a home, without stable health. The holidays may feel any- thing but merry. In compassionate response, Sisters Community Church, 1300 W. McKenzie Hwy., will host its second annual <Blue Christmas= s e r v i c e o n S a t u r d a y, December 21, at 6:30 p.m. This time of worship is for anyone for whom the joy and gaiety of the Christmas sea- son is muted by sadness, loss, and grief. <The worship is quiet and contemplative, but not morose,= said Pastor Steve Stratos. <Songs appropriate for the season will be inter- spersed with prayers and the comfort of God9s promise that 8the people who have walked in darkness have seen a great light.9= The service includes music, readings, prayers, and a message of hope on the long- est night of the year. The worship is quiet and contemplative, but not morose — Pastor Steve Stratos CLIMATE STRIKE SISTERS Friday, =^\^f[^k +0 ,:)0 – -:)0 Intersection of Hwy 20 (Cascade) & Larch Street Sidewalks only – Bring your signs Holiday Us For More n Joi As Requested!
