Outlaws win division at
Clearwater Classic
By Rongi Yost
Correspondent
The Lady Outlaws
volleyball team won their
division and finished ninth
out of 24 teams in the Bend
Clearwater Classic on
Saturday, October 9.
The teams were divided
into gold, silver, and bronze
divisions. Sisters played three
tough matches to win the
silver division. The Outlaws
were one of two 4A teams in
the tournament, which was
filled with tough 5A and 6A
teams from all over the state.
Sisters faced Summit in the
first round of bracket play in
the silver division, and lost a
close first set. It was tied up
22-22, but three consecutive
errors by the Outlaws allowed
the Storm to close out the set
with a 25-22 win.
The second set was also
very tight at the end. Scores
were tied 23-23, 24-24, 25-25,
and 26-26. The tournament
had a 27-point cap and so
the first team to 27 got the
win. Summit went back to
serve with the score tied
26-26. Gracelyn Myhre made
a perfect pass to Hannah
Fendall, who set the ball to Bri
White. White went up with an
aggressive approach and sent
a short tip right over the block
for the win.
Sisters kept the momentum
in the third set, and started
with a powerful kill from
White to the back corner.
The set went back and forth,
and then a kill down the line
from Sydney Myhre tied it
up 13-13. Mia Monaghan
stepped up to the service line
and served two aces to win the
match and send Sisters into
the semifinal game.
In the semifinal game
against Dallas, the Outlaws
prevailed with scores of
27-25, 23-25, and 16-14.
With the score tied 25-25
in the first set, White hit a
sharp-angle kill that gave the
Outlaws the serve. Sisters
closed out the set with a kill
from White and a tip kill from
Gracie Vohs for the 27-25 win.
The second set was once
again a back-and-forth game.

The set was tied 23-23 when
a controversial call by the
official gave Dallas the
advantage and the serve at
23-24. Sisters made a passing
error and lost the set 23-25.
In the third and final set,
the Outlaws were up 14-11,
but let the Dragons creep back
in and even the score 14-14.
Vohs recorded a kill to give
Sisters a 15-14 advantage
and the serve. A great dig by
Monaghan set Vohs up for the
winning kill.
Sisters advanced and
played North Medford in the
championship game. The
Outlaws defeated the Black
Tornados in two straight sets
with scores of 25-21, 25-22.
The win earned them a
championship trophy in the
silver division.
White led the Outlaws with
40 kills for the tournament.
Vohs tallied 35 kills, and had
11 blocks and five aces.
Coach Rory Rush said,
<After losing to the Huskies
on Thursday we wanted to
regroup and refocus mentally
heading into the tournament.
For us, this tournament was
about gaining confidence,
and learning and finding
momentum as we head into
our last two weeks of the
season. This team has dealt
with the ups and downs from
Covid since the beginning of
the season, as well as injuries,
but each time they have proven
themselves resilient. While
losing to Sweet Home was
tough, we were determined
to not let it define us.
<I am so proud of the
girls for spending their day
Saturday in the gym, working
so hard each match to fine-
tune and learn how to be the
team we want to be.= Rush
added, <Our quote for the
season, picked by the seniors,
8Tough times don9t last. Tough
teams do!9 has never been
more true for this group of
girls. They work every day
to not just be teammates, but
treat each other like family.
Our tenacity and perseverance
shined on Saturday. I couldn9t
be more proud of this team
and look forward to what these
next two weeks will bring.=

Coldwell Banker announces merger
Coldwell
Banker
Bain has merged with
Coldwell Banker Reed
Bros. Realty of Sisters.
Owner Mike Mansker will
continue with Coldwell
Banker Bain of Sisters as
a broker, mentor, and local
advisor.
Coldwell Banker Reed
Bros. Realty has served
the Central Oregon area
since 1974, establishing
the longest-serving real
estate firm in Sisters. The
merger expands Coldwell
B a n k e r B a i n 9s b r a n d
in Oregon to five total
offices (the company has
two offices in Portland,
one in Lake Oswego, and
one in Bend). This new-
est office serves clients in
Sisters and the surrounding
communities.
<The merger is the abso-
lute right strategic move
for our clients and brokers,
at the right time,= Mansker
said. <I9ve really loved the
challenge and many bless-
ings of running a quality
brokerage, but it9s time to
pass the reins to an orga-
nization that can provide
fresh energy and perspec-
tive, as well as a huge net-
work of offices in top feeder
markets like Portland, Lake
Oswego, Seattle, and many
others.
<Our sellers will espe-
cially benefit from top
notch global marketing and
immediate exposure to over
1,300 Coldwell Banker
Bain brokers who work in
the markets most likely to
produce strong buyers for
their Sisters property. My
real estate career is far from
over. I am really looking
forward to focusing on serv-
ing my best clients over the
coming years and enjoying
the bucket list concept while
I am 8young9!=
Brian Houston, with
Coldwell Banker Bain for 10
years, most recently serving
as principal managing broker
for Coldwell Banker Bain
of Portland West, has been
named principal managing
broker for both the Coldwell
Banker Bain of Sisters office
and the nearby Coldwell
Banker Bain of Bend
office.
Houston has served on
the local, state, and national
boards for the Portland
Metropolitan Association of
Realtors (PMAR) and for
nine years has served on the
board of directors for the
Regional Multiple Listing
Service (RMLS), includ-
ing one year as board chair.
Prior to joining Coldwell
Banker Bain, he worked as a
vice president for Prudential
NW Properties, where he
oversaw 23 principal man-
aging brokers.
<We couldn9t be more
excited about merging with
such a well-regarded bro-
kerage that has been led
so expertly by Mike,= said
Mike Grady, Coldwell
Banker Bain CEO. <We
have found Central Oregon
to be an amazing and active
market since our acquisi-
tion of our Bend office
(formerly Coldwell Banker
Morris) nearly two years
ago, and we9re thrilled to
complement our services
in Sisters. The advantages
of the area, offering buy-
ers the opportunity to enjoy
year-round activities includ-
ing world-class skiing and
downhill mountain biking at
Hoodoo and Mt. Bachelor,
numerous world-renowned
golf courses, fly fishing in
the Metolius, Deschutes,
and Crooked Rivers, and
numerous alpine lakes, and
educational opportunities at
the Oregon State University
campus located on the west
side of Bend, is arguably
unsurpassed.=
He added, <While inven-
tory levels remain a chal-
lenge and home prices
have risen significantly
over the past several years,
Central Oregon remains a
great value compared to
the areas from which buy-
ers are moving. We feel
the economy will spur
growth now and in years to
come.=
