The Outlaws boys and
girls ski teams raced in the
first slalom race of the season,
on Leeway at Mt. Bachelor on
Saturday, January 18. Surface
conditions were a bit slow due
to all the new snow, but over-
all the course held up well and
the race ran smoothly. The
boys and girls raced on sepa-
rate courses and got in two
runs each.
The boys team had their
best team finish in years,
and came in third just behind
Mtn. View and Bend High.
Evan Palmer finished third
and scored 100 points for
the Outlaws. Bela Chladek
finished eighth (65 points),
Corbin Fredland 14th (31
points), George Chladek got
10th on his first run for 26
points, but straddled a gate
on his second run and was
disqualified. Colton Seymour
was 16th (21 points), and
Simon Rhett got 34th place
on his first run, but was dis-
qualified on his second run.
Coach Gabe Chladek com-
mented on a few of his racers.
<Evan (Palmer) skied tech-
nically clean and aggressively
and ended up with one of his
best scores of his high school
career to date= said Chladek.
<George9s (Chladek) first
run was also very technically
clean and fast and scored
quite a few points for it. The
two varsity freshman boys,
Bela (Chladek) and Corbin
(Fredland), pushed them-
selves very hard and scrapped
together some fast runs.
<It9s super-exciting to see
the boys varsity team score so
well,= said Coach Chladek.
<They were only three sec-
onds away from second
place!=
The girls varsity team fin-
ished fifth ahead of Marist.
The girls finish order was as
follows: Hollie Lewis 15th
(26 points), Sydney Wilkes
21st (16 points), Skylar
Wilkens 24th (eight points),
Piper Adelt 27th (one point).
Tatem Cramer crashed on her
first run, but came in 51st on
her second. Annie Cohen,
in her very first high school
race, disqualified on her first
run and came back with a
solid second run for 55th.
<Hollie skied very
directly on the gate and man-
aged to score a couple very
good times,= said Chladek.
<Hollie9s run was supported
by Skylar, Sydney, and Piper,
all finishing runs in the
top 30.=
All three of the Sisters
teams are proving to be
very competitive this year.

The JV boys finished
fourth overall behind the
three Bend schools. Their fin-
ish order follows: Oscar Rhett
42nd, Ethan Eckert 49th,
Connor Petke 52nd, Ashton
King 55th, Aiden Eckert 58th,
Ilya Goheen 65th. Ian Cash
came in 60th on his first run,
and didn9t finish his second
run. Vicente Rebolledo was
66th on his first run and didn9t
finish his second.
<All three of the Sisters
teams are proving to be very
competitive this year,= said
Chladek. <It9s really cool to
see all the racers improving
and changing the way they ski.
Much of the team has already
made big breakthroughs this
season. Overall, I think the
Outlaws ski team is going
into one of its most competi-
tive seasons in a long time.=

The Lady Outlaws fell
31-58 to Woodburn at home
on Friday, January 17, and
the next day fell 29-46 to
Cascade in a game that was
canceled earlier in the week
and rescheduled for Saturday.
Sisters started off strong
against the visiting Bulldogs
in Friday9s contest, and at the
close of the first quarter held a
10-7 lead. The Lady Outlaws9
final score of the quarter came
when Josie Patton passed the
ball to Payden Petterson who
hit a deep two-pointer at the
buzzer.
Woodburn opened the sec-
ond quarter with a three to
lock it up at 10-10 and kept
adding points to the score-
board the entire quarter. The
Outlaws had opportunity to
score but their shots wouldn9t
fall. Untimely turnovers and
their lack of getting back on
defense also hurt them in the
second period. Finally, with
35 seconds left on the clock,
Emma Lutz scored Sisters9
first points of the quarter
on a three-point shot. The
Bulldogs came right back
with a three of their own and
the Outlaws found themselves
in a hole at the half; down by
12 with the score at 13-25.
Sisters put 10 points on
the scoreboard in the third
quarter. Highlights were a
three by Ellie Rush and a nice
shot underneath by Gracen
Sundstrom to end the period.

recorded the win.
Petterson led the Outlaws
with nine points. Patton
scored five and RylieReese
Morgan added four.
<We had a difficult time
after the first quarter,= said
Coach Brittaney Brown. <We
got a lot of good looks, but
had a hard time converting
those open looks. We were
happy with the girls and their
efforts to keep shooting and
to keep their confidence high.
Woodburn9s sharp-shooting
team caused us difficulty on
the defensive end. Despite
the score, the girls continued
to play hard and battled the
entire game.=
Although the Outlaws lost
their game against Cascade
on Saturday, Brown told The
Nugget she felt that the game
was one of the Outlaws9 best
games they9ve played all
year. The Cougars boasted a
well-rounded team that had
the ability to score on a con-
sistent basis, both inside the
key and from the perimeter.
Lutz led the Outlaws with
12 points, Petterson contrib-
uted eight, Patton tallied four
and Morgan and Schwartz
added two points each.
<We played with high
energy and competitive spirit
the entire game,= said Brown.
Sisters was scheduled to
play at Philomath on Tuesday,
January 21. They will host
Stayton at home three days
later.
