LHS JV volleyball team
soars In conference
BY PATTI CARPENTER
The LHS JV volleyball
team is making a strong
showing this year. Until
their loss against Rocky on
Tuesday night, they were
undefeated in their confer-
ence wins with only one left
to go. The team also finished
strong last year with the
best record of all JV teams
in conference wins.
"We have a pretty good
group coming up from JV,"
commented varsity coach
Stormy Jameson, who un-
doubtedly is looking for-
ward to working with some
of the girls next year. "They
are looking bright and hope-
fully I'll be able to carry
that tradition to the varsity
level."
Bonnie Rodriguez has
led in kills all season. Ju-
nior Mesa Matthews is con-
sistently at the top with
her kills. Cheyanne Dickey,
Mercedes Haney and Kas-
si Renner all proved to be
good hitters all season.
Shyann Wilske has
been doing a fine job as sole
setter for the team and has
spent time on the courts
with the varsity team, as
well. Dominique Allred is
the teams libero.
The team has one con-
ference game left in their
season, Friday at Riverside
followed by a non-confer-
ence game at Shoshoni be-
fore their season ends. They
are coached by Dana Chris-
tiansen.

The Rocky Mountain Middle School
football team turned a one-touchdown half-
time lead into a 20-0 victory with a strong
second-half performance Saturday in Bur-
lington.
Coach Rod Winland said the Grizzlies
scored five minutes into the second quarter
on a five-yard quarterback sneak by Cole
Simmons to lead 8-0 after the conversion
from Simmons to Ben Estes was good.
"We had a great surge by Zac (Zier)
and Cordell (McFarlane), and Cole went
into the end zone untouched," Winland
said. "That touchdown capped a long drive
for us. It was a great catch by Ben (on the
PAT). It looked as though Cole overthrew
Ben, but Ben reached out with one hand
and reeled it in."
Travis Banks set up Rocky's next touch-
down with an interception and 20-yard re-
turn, Winland said. Simmons hit Estes
from 30 yards out for the score after Estes
got wide open on a play action pass. The
PAT failed, and Rocky led 14-0 after th~
"Travis Banks and Cole Wambeke did
a great job selling out on that play," the
coach said.
Rocky's final touchdown came in the
fourth quarter when strong running by
Wambeke and Jared May set up a quarter-
back sneak by Simmons. The PAT failed,
"Our offensive line of Cordell McFar-
lane, Zac Zier, Wes Homewood, Seth Fuller
and Payton Thomas controlled the line of
scrimmage," Winland said. "They have re-
ally improved through the season."
There was no scoring in the seventh-
grade game. Winland said the Grizz con-
trolled the game on the ground, but the
drives stalled in the end.
The Grizz are scheduled to conclude
the season today (Thursday) at 4:30 p.m.
when they host Powell.
Editor's note: The Chronicle has not
received information on Lovell Middle
School football action for several weeks, de-
spite requests.
Continued from page 7
trol of the game in the
second half, intercepting
Frazier twice in the third
quarter (Hinckley and Mark
Grant) and scoring a touch-
down to lead 21-6. Greybull
appeared to have the Bull-
dogs stopped, but on fourth
and 18 at the Greybull 28
the Bulldogs picked up the
Greybull blitz and Hult-
gren found Savage slicing
over the middle. The big ju-
nior dove for the end zone
and the score.
"That one stung for
Greybull," Hazen said.
The Bulldogs drove 70
yards and nearly scored
again early in the fourth
quarter, but the Buffs
snatched the ball away
from Patina at the Grey-
bull 10 after a five-yard
gain and after a discussion
the referees ruled that his
knee had not been down
before the strip.
After a short Greybull
punt, the Bulldogs drove
again but Pickett's broken
leg took the wind out of the
Lovell sails, and the Bull-
dogs settled for a field goal,
which Savage nailed from
31 yards to put Lovell up
24-6.
Greybull drove against
a Lovell prevent defense
to score a late touchdown
on a 16-yard pass to De-
Cabooter, making the final
score 24-13.
Patina finished with 62
yards rushing on 15 car-
ries, Mark Grant 57 yards
on nine attempts. Collins
added 39 yards on 14 car-
ries, Pickett 14 yards on six
attempts before his injury.
Savage caught seven
passes for 69 yards, Hinck-
ley two for 82 yards, Na-
than Grant two for 46, May
and McArthur one for 13
each and Pickett one for 8
yards.
McArthur led the team
in defensive points with 25
on 11 assisted tackles, one
solo tackle, one intercep-
tion and a blocked kick.
Mark Grant and Hinck-
ley recorded 13 defensive
points each, Savage 12, Na-
than Grant and AJ Mon-
tanez 10 apiecer
BOBCATS TO TOWN
Now 5-0, the Bulldogs
can clinch a playoff berth
and at least one home play-
off game if they can beat
the Thermopolis Bobcats
Friday night at home. Kick-
off is scheduled for 7 p.m.
at Robertson Stadium.
The Bobcats have been
up and down this season
after winning the past
two Class 2A state titles.
They've been tough in con-
vincing wins over Big Pin-
ey (48-22) and Kemmerer
(42-6), but they have also
lost big to Glenrock (29-12),
Greybull (31-7) and Lyman
(21-7) to stand at 2-3 on the
season.
"There's no doubt Ther-
mop isn't going to roll over
for us," Hazen said. "If we
continue to win the play-
offs set up in our favor. We
need to win two out of the
last three to get home-field
advantage throughout the
playoffs.
"We haven't been able
to beat them (Thermop) in
the last few years, and they
are two-time state champi-
ons. We want to play well
at home. We expect to win
all of our home games."
Hazen said the Bob-
cats will give the Bulldogs
a different look, both of-
fensively and defensively,
than they've seen in recent
games.
"They are well-coached,
and they have talented
players," he said. "They
run a spread offense, which
is different and a contrast
from what we've seen re-
cently. Defensively, they
run a 3-5 with a number
of linebackers. They try to
mix you up, blitzing some
guys and giving you differ-
ent looks."
