Outlaws miss district, end happy-scrappy
By Kathleen Ellyn
Wallowa County Chieftain
The Outlaws knew they
were not going on to district
after the loss with number
20-ranked Elgin Huskies
Thursday, Oct. 15, (25-19, 25-
12, 22-25, 25-10) so the Out-
laws decided to go out with a
cheer the rest of the weekend.
“This weekend was a lot of
fun,” said Coach LaShawnda
Gill. “The girls knew there
was no pressure due to the
fact we could not make it to
districts win or lose. I used
our games Saturday, Oct. 17,
to make sure everyone got a
chance to play, we tried some
new things such as players
playing in different positions
and made sure our last game
of the season was memorable
for the seniors.”
They may not have been
focused on winning, but the
Outlaws proved once again
staying happy and scrappy
serves this team well.
The next two games,
against number 13-ranked
Union Bobcats (25-23, 25-
9, 25-22) and number sev-
en-ranked Imbler Panthers
(25-15, 25-16, 25-16) were
losses, but the Outlaws ended
the season a big stride ahead
of their dead last place at the
start of the season and con-
tinued to show an impressive
ability to hang with the big
dogs on a lot of their games.
7KH2XWODZV¿QLVKWKHLUVHD-
son OSAA ranked at 34 with
a record of 14 wins to 46
losses.
“The girls have a lot of
fun and had smiles on their
faces all day,” Coach Gill
said. “It was an awesome day
of volleyball.”
