8 Wednesday, December 1, 2021 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon SOCCER: Six Outlaws named to all-league teams this year Continued from page 4 contributor on any team.= Senior Sean Alvarez was the Outlaws only second- team selection. Alvarez has been a three year starter and this year was the core of the Outlaws defense in the center back position, as well as a co-captain. He scored three goals and also had two assists this year. <Sean knows his position very well, and he is versa- tile, speedy, and smart,= said Husmann. <He is the stron- gest defender on our team. He is also very dangerous when he goes forward or taking set pieces. He9s very much deserving of first-team accolades.= Three Outlaws earned honorable mention, including senior Noah Pittman, junior Aidan Eckert, and sopho- more Vincent Christian. Pittman was an honor- able mention defender, and showed a lot of growth at that position this year. Husmann noted that Pittman hasn9t missed a practice in three years. This season he posed two assists for the Outlaws squad. <As an outside back, Noah is often up against the fastest of the opposition9s forward players,= said Husmann. <He closes down and plays with passion, speed, and attitude.= Eckert was honored at the midfield position, and according to Husmann is the unheralded leader of the Outlaws9 team. He scored four goals and led the team with 12 assists. <Aidan is our most skilled player,= said Husmann. <He sees the field very well and his selfless play has him as our assist leader these last two seasons. He has played nearly every minute of every game, and scored some very important goals for us this year.= Christian was honorable mention midfielder/forward. He9s a two-year starter as a sophomore and coaches look for him to continue to be a leader on the team the next two years. Vincent scored nine goals and tallied six assists this season. <Vincent is such a ver- satile, talented, and experi- enced player,= said Husmann. <He effectively plays in any position we put him in. He can take on defenders and is such a clean striker of the ball.= Vincent is such a versatile, talented, and experienced player. — Coach Jeff Husmann Sisters salutes...

All of those words are lived and expressed fully. I couldn9t have imagined in 2013 that our little idea could have exploded to what it9s become: Food and finan- cial donations, community members coming together to create a day that is remem- bered all year long. Sisters Community Church gener- ously donates the use of their commercial kitchen and wor- ship room so that more than 450 meals can be served. Some take meals to go. Some get them delivered. Some sit and dine, sharing time and conversation with friends, PHOTO PROVIDED Deri Frazee, Kimber Finney, Jennifer Seher, Michele Hammer, and Josh Reed — along with the support of many in our community — put on the annual Sisters Community Thanksgiving Dinner. family and neighbors. Some stay all day long, sipping cof- fee and visiting with every- one else that comes in. Sisters isn9t alone in feed- ing community members. We never imagined however, just how many people in our lit- tle community didn9t have a gathering to attend. The past eight years, we have grown in attendants and meals far beyond what we thought it could. Singles, couples, veterans, homeless, visitors passing through, even large families. All are welcomed, fed a generous hot meal, and encouraged to take one with them for later. Personally, this is the single day I look forward to all year long. Ray9s Food Place, Sno Cap Drive Inn, Sisters Moto, Aqua Clear Spa Service, and The Nugget Newspaper, are just a few of the amaz- ing community sponsors we have. Countless individu- als donate time, money, and food. The primary volunteers that make it happen along with me 4 Deri Frazee, Michele Hammer, Kimber Finney, and Josh Reed 4 make the day so very special. Happy Thanksgiving to you all, and we will see you next year. TIME TO PUT ON WINTER TIRES! Call to make an appointment for NO-WAIT SERVICE! DAVIS TIRE Serving Sisters Since 1962 188 W.
