Girls basketball loses two on the hardwood

The Lady Outlaws lost both their games this past week, but gained experience and skills on the court and look forward to league play. Sisters fell 47-28 at home against Redmond on Tuesday, January 3, and then lost 56-34 to the Highlanders at Burns three days later.

Sisters came out flat in Tuesday's matchup against the Panthers and just couldn't recover. Redmond consistently put the ball through the net and earned an easy win.

Rylee Weber led the Outlaws with 12 points, Alexa Steward scored six, and Hogan Hernandez added four.

On Friday, the Outlaws faced a well-coached Burns squad. Coach Alan Von Stein told The Nugget he felt his players played with enthusiasm and did much better than they did on Tuesday.

Rheanna Salisbury was Sisters' leading scorer with eight points, and Weber followed with seven. Amanda Smith recorded six points, and Gracie Sundstrom added five.

Von Stein said, "The girls put four quarters together nicely, and outscored Burns 14-6 in the fourth quarter. Overall, I am very pleased with their performance."

Sisters was to play at home against Madras on Tuesday, January 10. The Lady Outlaws will kick off league play at home against Sweet Home on Friday, January 13. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:15 p.m.
