The varsity boys squad dropped their road game at Woodburn on Tuesday, February 11, in a final score of 26-55, and at home on Friday they fell 18-40 to top- ranked Philomath. In Tuesday9s contest, Woodburn shot the ball well and pressured the Outlaws hard to go up 21-8 at the close of the first period. Sisters played fairly even with the Bulldogs the remain- der of the game, but the first quarter deficit was too big to overcome. <Turnovers cost us, and we had a hard time scoring against the intense pressure that Woodburn created,= said Coach Rob Jensen. Nate Weber finished with a team-high nine points, Sam Nicklous scored six, Brogan Petterson contributed five, and Max Palanuk added four. Three days later the Outlaws celebrated their three seniors, Sam Nicklous, Brogan Petterson, Joe Scholl, and Garrett Kersavage. <These boys have played with heart and grit all season, and continued to improve throughout,= said Jensen. <They are committed and show up every day ready to get better. They are such a good group to stick with it and keep their heads high even when things are tough.= Sisters played a good first half against the top- ranked Warriors.
