Newspaper Page TextA10 NEWS Wallowa County Chieftain Wednesday, September 11, 2019 Ellen Morris Bishop Enterprise Outlaw player Ashlynn Gray gets ready to slam the ball over Cove players’ outstretched arms. Outlaws V-ballers just keep getting better By Steve Tool Wallowa County Chieftain T he lady Outlaws just keep getting better on the court as the training regimen of coach Lisa Farwell takes hold. The Outlaws played sev- eral matches over the last week, starting in Helix on Tuesday, Sept. 3. The ladies ﬁ rst faced Irrigon, then Weston, in pool play, losing both sets by scores of 19-25 and 13-25 respectively. The Outlaws followed with a 25-11 pool play victory over Helix, followed by twin victories over the host in bracket play, 25-21 and 25-15. Notable performances included Claire Farwell’s 18 digs while kills superstar, Ashlyn Gray, racked up 13. Rilyn Kirkland chipped in with 11 assists and Carsyn Miller smashed a dozen ace serves. Coach Farwell said she was happy to see improve- ment in team communication, but the ladies’ struggles at the net continued. “We missed too many blocks and turned the ball over with hitting errors,” she said. “I’m hoping to see our net play improve dramatically.” The ladies almost made it work versus visiting Cove on Sept. 5. The Outlaws easily won the ﬁ rst set, 25-15, but then lost three straight to the Leopards: 25-27, 14-25, 20-25. Highlights included Claire Farwell, who scooped for 19 digs while monster Ashlyn Gray had 13 kills. Zari Bathke turned in a solid offensive performance with 18 for 19 serving with three aces. Coach Farwell said that the ladies folded in the third set, coming off the momentum swing towards Cove late in the second set. Ellen Morris Bishop Rilyn Kirkland tips the ball back over the net where Cove defenders can’t get it. “We need to improve our discipline, and eliminate the mental mistakes if we want to keep the momentum The annual Rat Race tournament By Rochelle Danielson From a golfer’s stand- point, the annual Rat Race tournament held over the Labor Day weekend at Alpine Meadows was the cat’s meow.

He swung and sent that ball ﬂ ying over 100 yards through brush and a small opening in the trees, across Trout Creek to land within a short chip shot from the #9 green. Words of Thanks from the committee of Terry & Cheri Lamb & Gary and Carol Marr: We are happy to have had such a good turn- out again this year for our Rat Race tournament. It’s always good to see old friends and meet new ones each year. We look forward to next year and hope to see you all again. throughout the entire match,” she said. The Outlaws followed their hectic schedule with a trip down to Prairie City for that school’s invitational tournament on Saturday, Sept. 7. The ladies ﬁ rst lost a hard-fought match to Redmond, 20-25 and 23-25 before teeing off on Harper 25-13 and 25-8. Day- ville/Monument fell victim to the Outlaws, 25-12 and 25-14, allowing the ladies to advance to bracket play. The Outlaws are now 5-4 overall and next play at Cove on Friday, Sept. 20. The Outlaws ﬁ rst took on Condon/Wheeler, send- ing them away reeling, 25-7 and 25-10. The Outlaws next faced their hosts, losing a 27-25 heart-stopper and lost the next, 25-15. Despite the ﬁ nal two losses, Coach Farwell had many kudos for the ladies. Farwell noted that Zari Bathke stepped up as a mid- dle blocker, contributing 11 blocks for points and a lot of smart plays at the net. Kill machine Ashlyn Gray’s hitting was consistent and smart with count-em, 36 kills. Farwell also noted Rilyn Kirkland is gaining conﬁ dence as a setter and had 35 assists. The coach had a number of laudatory comments about the team’s play. She said the ladies played well against hard-hitting Redmond in the ﬁ rst two sets, and kept that level of play going throughout the rest of the day. In the last match, Prairie City hit well and made very few mistakes and the Outlaws couldn’t string enough points together to come up with the win. “The 10-set day was marked by improvement across the board from last week — stronger net play with both attacks and blocks, better serving, better defense,” she said. “This is what preseason is for — lots of volleyball and lots of improvement.” We treat you like family 601 Medical Parkway, Enterprise, OR 97828 • 541-426-3111 • www.wchcd.org Wallowa Memorial Hospital is an equal opportunity employer and provider.
