Boys lose to Cottage Grove in soccer
By Greg Strannigan

In the only soccer action of the week, the Sisters boys soccer team visited new league foe Cottage Grove and played the Lions close in dropping a 2-0 decision.

"We weren't overmatched -- it was a game that we could have won," said Coach Mark Keel. "The kids played well, but they just didn't capitalize on their opportunities to score. Cottage Grove is a good team, and they're good sports. It was a fun game."

Despite the loss, Keel had praise for his players.

"I applaud the effort of our players," he said. "The players are working hard, and they are excited and confident. We are getting into the second half of league play, and we'll be facing some familiar teams. Hopefully, we'll get some wins."

Sisters is 0-3 in the league, 1-6-1 overall. The Outlaws were to visit Pleasant Hill on Tuesday, October 8, and host Stayton on Wednesday, October 9.
