The Outlaws fell by a score
of 0-4 at home against 6A
Summit on Tuesday, March
16, but came back strong two
days later to post a 4-0 shut-
out at home against Stayton.
On Tuesday, the Outlaws
played the very talented 6A
Summit Storm. The Outlaws
played with heart and inten-
sity from the first whistle
until the end of the game.
They had opportunities, but
were unable to convert.
<Summit brought a
higher-paced game and their
speed and experience chal-
lenged us,= said Coach Brian
Holden. <I9m proud of the
girls stepping on the field
against this level of compe-
tition they9ve never had to
face before. They played with
class and sportsmanship.=
On Thursday, the Outlaws
posted a shutout over the
Eagles. Sisters scored three
goals in the first half.
Sisters did a good job
of advancing the ball down
the field. Marley Holden
had a header assist to Anya
Shockley who scored inside
the 18-yard box. Shockley
made a nice pass to Hollie
Lewis for Sisters9 second
goal to put the Outlaws up
2-0. The final goal of the
first half came when the ball
was passed out of the back to
freshman Katie Ryan. Ryan
dribbled the ball and took on
the outside back, cut to the

this season. They struggled against Summit, but later shut out Stayton.
front of the goal and launched
the ball into the lower right
corner of the net. At the half
Sisters held a 3-0 advantage.
The second half was more
evenly matched. Stayton was
aggressive and possessed the
ball more than they had in the
first half, and Holden told The
Nugget that it was a good test
for the Outlaws defense.
No second-half goals were
scored until the final 10 min-
utes of the game. Isabelle
Schiller advanced the ball up
the left side and tried to cross
in front of the goal. A hand-
ball was awarded and Lewis
took the penalty kick. Hollie
converted and the 4-0 score
held to the end of the contest.
<The girls established the
tempo of the game in the first
10 minutes by being first to
the ball and contesting every
50/50 opportunity, which in
turn led them to control the

Holden made note of
keeper Josie Patton and out-
side backs Maggie Lutz and
Maddie Symonds.
<Josie had strong hands
and confidence in commu-
nication which helped her
Outlaws to a shutout in the
rain against an always dif-
ficult Stayton team,= the
coach said. <And Maggie and
Maddie did a good job of dis-
tributing out of the back and
containing their opponents.=

out the game and made
numerous mistakes, includ-
ing committing five fumbles.
Both teams suffered pen-
alties on both sides of the
ball in the first quarter and
the period ended with the
score 0-0.
The Huskies put up 22
points in the second quarter
to go up 22-0 at the half.
Sisters9 fullback Hunter Spor

quarter, which was a big loss
for the Outlaws.
Sweet Home tacked on 11
points in the third to finish
the quarter with a command-
ing 33-0 lead. Quarterback
Griffin Gardner scored on
fourth and goal from the
two-yard line for Sisters9
lone goal of the contest.
On the bright side,
Sisters9 Wyatt Maffey had
a strong game on defense.
Wyatt had eight tackles in
the contest, five of them
solo. He also tipped a pass,
and had a fumble recovery.
Gardner had a good night
running the ball.
The Outlaws will play at
Siuslaw on Friday, March 26.
