Boys lacrosse posts big win

The Outlaws posted a 14-2 victory over Roseburg at home on Saturday, April 25. Roseburg played hard, but Sisters scored steadily throughout the entire game to record the win.

Sisters scored three goals in the first quarter, and at the half held a 6-1 lead. The Outlaws racked up eight additional goals in the second half and finished with a convincing win.

Lane Gladden led the team with four goals, and Tyler Head and Mark Fish each had three. Chance Halley scored two goals and Chris Burdick added one. Josh Andrade also knocked in a goal, his first of the season.

Max Kahnt, foreign exchange student from Germany, did an outstanding job in the box for the Outlaws. Kahnt stopped at least 10 shots and only allowed two goals.

Sisters' defense was tough throughout the contest and kept strong pressure on Roseburg. Casey Lane, Devin Slaughter, Gary Jacques, David Keeton and Lane Gladden, who swings from midfield to defense, all worked very hard, and it showed on the field.

Coach Andrew Gorayeb told The Nugget that the Outlaws have spent a lot of time conditioning over the past two weeks, and the hard work has paid off.

"Every time we either called a timeout or had the standard breaks that occur between quarters and at halftime, none of the boys were huffing and puffing," said Gorayeb. "They weren't tired. They were strong and alert."

The JV squad also posted a win over Roseburg with a final score of 5-3, with Luke Hull scoring Sisters' last goal in the final three seconds of the game.

Gorayeb noted several freshman players and Hull.

"Kudos to Sam Mitchell who came out and played defense well, and Ethan Kennedy, who brought an amazing intensity to the game and never let up for a minute," said Gorayeb. "Ethan Morgan worked hard to score goals and 'do the dodge', and Samson Magnus worked hard and scored two goals. Luke Hull got two goals as well. They all never quit. They're awesome."

Gorayeb told The Nugget that over the next two weeks the Outlaws will continue to condition hard. Their goal is to be the strongest team on the field and win every game.

The Outlaws will travel to Burns on Wednesday, April 29, for a game against Natzisaga, followed by a home game against Redmond on Thursday, which is scheduled for 6 p.m.
