nament Friday by crush- Beau Green knocked
ing the Riverside Rebels
75-42 as all 11 players on
the varsity roster scored.
Lovell broke out to a 19-9
lead by the end of the first
quarter, then buried the
Rebels 26-11 in the sec-
ond quarter to lead 45-20
at halftime. The Bulldogs
outscored Riverside 19-8
in the third quarter and
Riverside won the fourth
14-11.
"I was pleased with
the way the team came out
and played this weekend,"
coach Craig Lundberg said.
"We were hitting outside
shots and we played more
up-tempo against River-
side. We used a half-court
trap and were able to get
some easy baskets. We fed
off of that, and it led to us
flying around and having a
good time in that game.
"We just blitzed them.
It was good for us. It was
a good way to start the
tournament."
CJ Murphey scored 14
points to lead the Bulldogs.
Cade Bischoff and Nic
Haskell joined him in dou-
ble figures with 10 points
each. Trace Murphey add-
ed 8 points, Jacob New-
man, Brandon Teter and
Mysen McArthur 7 each,
Dillon Schneider 5, Riley
down four three-pointers
in the first quarter to help
Lovell to a 22-20 lead after
one, but Buffalo dominat-
ed the second 23-10 to lead
43-32 at halftime.
"They blitzed us (in the
second quarter)," Lund-
berg. said. "They hit a
bunch of threes (four), and
Brandon (Teter) hit a three
at the buzzer or we would
have been down 14."
Lovell outscored Buffa-
lo 14-10 in the third quar-
ter and 22-20 in the fourth
and closed to within three
points late in the game be-
fore the Bison prevailed.
"We had it right there.
We just could not get over
the hump," Lundberg said.
"Our free-throw percent-
age (52 percent) has to
come up. If we shoot 70
percent we win.
"We played well. The
kids said after the game
we played way too hard to
lose that game. It was a
battle, a fun game."
Green finished with
27 points, hitting seven
three-pointers. CJ Mur-
phey added 17 points, Has-
kell 10, McArthur 6, Teter
5 and Bischoff 3.
WIN OVER ROCKY
The Bulldogs played a
solid all-around game to
beat Rocky Mountain 53-
49 Saturday, Lundberg
said. Asked the difference
between Saturday's game
and a 70-58 loss earlier in
the season, Lundberg said
defense was the key.
"I think we did a couple
of different things maybe
they hadn't seen," he said.
"We challenged their shots
at the rim and rotated over
on defense better than in
the first game. We really
controlled the boards.
"Our size was a big
factor, and we were able
to get back pretty well on
defense. The kids did a
good job of being smart.
We stopped the ball better
as they came up the court
and were getting some-
body in their face. We had
really good balance with
Beau, Nic and CJ in double
figures."
Lovell led 11-9 after
the first quarter and 22-16
at halftime. The Bulldogs
outscored the Grizzlies 16-
14 in the third to lead 38-
30 after three, but Rocky
won the fourth 19-15 to cut
the final margin to four.
"We led the entire
game and were up by
as much as 12," Lund-
berg said. "They got with-
in three in the fourth. We
were only 6 of 14 at the
line in the fourth."
One thing that pleased
the coach was the sports-
manship displayed in the
game.
"The refs said after
the game, 'The kids were
great today in sportsman-
ship. That's great for our
kids and Mike's (Simmons)
kids."
Green and Haskell
led the Bulldogs with 14
points each, and CJ Mur-
phey added 10, McArthur
8, Newman 3 and Trace
Murphey and Bischoff 2
apiece.
LOSS TO LANDER
After beating Rocky,
the Bulldogs met Lander,
and playing their fourth
game in two days, the
Bulldogs didn't rise to the
challenge of taking on the
tough Tigers. Lovell led 12-
11 after the first quarter,
but it was all Lander af-
ter that as the Tigers out-
scored the Bulldogs 21-9 in
the second quarter, 25-14
in the third and 22-16 in
the fourth to win 79-51.
"They put it on us. In
the last three quarters
they ran away with it,"
Lundberg said. "They were
able to turn us over quite a
bit, and easy baskets were
a lot of their points. We
shot the ball horribly. They
would get the rebound and
push it up the floor.
"Our second quar-
ter has been the quarter
where we've struggled. As
coaches we need to look at
substitution patterns and
maybe keep guys a little
fresher. Lander shot the
ball pretty well against
us. We tried man and zone
against them, but we were
just dead."
Mysen McArthur led
the Bulldogs with 13 points
and CJ Murphey added 12,
Trace Murphey 6, Teter
and Bischoff 5, Green 4
and Newman and Haskell
3 each.
The Bulldogs played
at Cody Tuesday night for
their first conference game
and fell 65-40. They are off
this weekend and will re-
turn to action the weekend
of Jan. 23-24, hosting Pow-
ell and Thermopolis, then
Jackson and Star Valley
on Jan. 30-31.
Bulldog indoor thinclads prepare for new season
BY SAM SMITH
The Lovell High School
indoor track squad opened
up practice for the 2015
season Monday, Jan. 5, in
preparation for their first
meet of the year.
"We have 16 athletes
out this year," head coach
Joshua Sanders said.
"Most of them are expe-
rienced. We have nine se-
niors so it's a veteran
group." /
Among the return-
ees are senior runners
AJ Dickson and Andrew
Mayes and junior Jaclyn
Caldwell.
"AJ and Jaclyn placed
in the outdoor state track
meet last year, but now
in 3A it's going to be a lot
harder, Sanders said. "So
putting in miles and being
involved in indoor track
should help."
Returning in the hur-
dles is senior Eston Croft.
Seniors Garet Fowler and
Aaron Monterde return in
the shot put.
"Aaron Monterde is
a good discus thrower,"
Sanders said, "but they
don't have that in indoor."
"Eston Croft placed in
hurdles last year, so he's a
big returner," he added.
Returning in the tri-
ple jump is senior Drake
Welch, who placed in the
event last year at State.
NEWCOMERS
Junior Caitlyn Lund-
berg has joined the team
this season.
"This is her first indoor
track season," Sanders
said, "but she's been a good
outdoor competitor for us
so she'll be competing in
the 55-meter dash and the
long jump."
The rest of the team
consists of McKay Bax-
endale, Ann Cerda, Sloan
Colvin, Payton Hetland,
Lane Hoover, Jazmyn
See, Hunter Tippetts and
Gavin Wilske, as well as
Ben Bates and Elizabeth
Gilford of Rocky Mountain.
Asked how the practic-
es are going, Sanders said,
"We have used the season
mainly to do weightlifting
and also a lot of plyos. It's
difficult to do a lot of tech-
nique, but that's OK be-
cause it's a good time to
work on strength and pow-
er. We have been enjoying
the new weight room.
"We have more oppor-
tunities to get stronger.
The outdoor season is a lit-
tle short so this gives us
more time to build."
Assisting Sanders
this year is Caleb Sand-
ers, and Chad Lindsay will
volunteer and coach the
throwers.
"He does a great job so
we are glad he volunteers
to help out," Sanders said.
The Bulldogs will con-
tinue with practices until
their first meet of the sea-
son on Friday when they
travel to Spearfish, S.D.,
for the Stadium Sports
Grill Invitational. The
meet is scheduled to begin
at 9 a.m.
