Outlaws win in muddy, sloppy conditions

The Sisters High School football team won with a score of 33 to 15 at Philomath on Friday, September 30, despite muddy, wet and miserable weather conditions.

Coach Bob Macauley said, “I was happy with our intensity and happy with Andy Burke (quarterback) and the leadership he showed running the offense on the field.”

During the first half both teams made numerous mistakes due to a sloppy field and at the half the score was 0-0.

The Outlaws scored 27 points in the third quarter and added a touchdown just two minutes into the fourth quarter.

All of Sisters’ touchdown drives were set up by the defense. Fumble recoveries came from Jeff Fitter, Blake Poynor and Todd Bell.

Cory McCaffrey did a good job of following his blockers and scored three touchdowns on runs of 10, 35 and 65 yards.

Jeff Sampson scored on a one-yard run and Jeff Fitter on a 23-yard pass from Burke.

“The highlight of the game,” said Macauley, “was with two minutes left in the first half our defense had a goal line stand that stopped Philomath on the one-foot line.”

The Outlaws will play at Cascade on Friday, October 7.
