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.

Thankful. Grateful.
Joyful. All words we say at
this time of year, even if we
don9t feel them. Then there9s
the Sisters Community
Thanksgiving Dinner. 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,

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.
