Lady Bulldogs improve as they drop two of .three
BY DAVID PECK
After two straight state
championships, the Lovell
Lady Bulldogs are a work
in progress in 2012-13,
and even in three games
at the Riverton Invitation-
al against Class 3A teams,
they showed significant
progress.
Lovell fell to top-ranked
3A power Douglas, 68-48,
fell to Lander 58-57 and de-
feated Worland 53-41.
"Going into the tour-
nament we knew the first
game was going to be a
challenge, and by the end
of the tournament the team
did a better job with shot
selection and with not be-
ing lackadaisical with the
ball," coach Chris Edwards
said. "Against Douglas we
sat back and waited for the
ball to get to us instead of
stepping to the ball. Doug-
las would step in and go the
other way for easy buckets.
'rhroughout the week-
end each girl got a little
more comfortable with her
new role."
The Lady Bulldogs
played without senior Shy-
anne Wilske and sophomore
point guard Lauren Hinck-
ley, who was expected to
start at the point but had to
tend to family matters over
the weekend. That put some
players out of position on a
weekend when the team was
already treading new ground
with four new starters.
"As a coaching staff
we'll have to revamp some
of the offense and develop
more continuity with the
flow of the offense," Ed-
wards said. "Some players
are still not sure exactly
where to cut and screen to,
and that caused some con-
gestion at times. At times
the girls were not being
strong with the ball and
seeing the defensive ro-
tations before they made
their decisions.
"This tournament was a
great assessment for us and
will really make our girls
mature faster. At times
we had plays develop and
our girls would be there,
but the aggressive style of
the teams we played took
those plays away. Over the
three games we saw differ-
ent girls become more con-
fident in their abilities and
they were willing to chal-
lenge the other team both
offensively and defensive-
ly. These type of games are
only going to help us down
the road."
DOUGLAS
The Douglas Bearcats
shredded the Lady Bulldogs
68-28, jumping out to a 20-4
lead after the first quar-
ter and leading 40-14, then
cruising in the second half.
"Douglas is the deepest
team I've seen," Edwards
said. "They're solid at every
position. At full strength
that's as good a team as
we're ever going to see.
They're strong, athletic and
fundamentally sound. They
force you out of your com-
fort zone and force numer-
ous turnovers with their ag-
gressive play."
No Lady Bulldogs
scored in double figures, but
senior Chelsey Ellis came
the closest, scoring 9 points.
Amanda Shumway added
7, Emilee Reasch 4, Kassi
Renner, Dominique Allred,
Kassidy Hetland and Kim
Shumway 2 each.
LANDER
Lovell started strong
against Lander, taking an
early 16-7 lead, but ulti-

mately inconsistency cost
the team. Lander closed the
first quarter with a 6-0 run
to trail 16-13, tied the score
at 20 in the second quar-
ter and led 30-26 at half-
time. Lander led 43-35 late
in the third, but Dominique
Allred hit a jumper, Kassi-
dy Hetland drained a three-
pointer and Kassi Renner
knocked down a shot to cut
the lead to one after three,
43-42.
The Lady Bulldogs
could never take the lead in
the fourth, though they ral-
lied once more after trailing
PATrl CARPENTER

Schneider sprints
PAT PARMER
Aly Schneider was the
fastest swimmer in the ba-
sin in the 100 IM and 50
Breaststroke Saturday as
the LMS swimmers and
divers finished their 2012
season in the new Wor-
land pool.
The meet started on
a high note with the 200
medley 'A' relay taking
five seconds off their best
time to crank out a sec-
ond place finish. Next,
Katie Harder finished
in l lth place in the 200
freeystyle to earn three
points. With Schneider
and Brent Snyder finish-
ing first and third in the
IM and the 50 freestylers
not placing, Snyder hit
his dives, placing second
in 5-dives.
Johnston took seventh
in the 50 Fly, and 100 Free
Relay 'A' finished in 12th
place for 20 points. Mylee
McArthur nabbed eighth
place in the 50 Back.
Schneider and John-
ston teamed up in the 50

taking first, and Johnston
second, both cutting over
two seconds from their
previous best time. The
200 Free Relay closed the
meet with the 'A' squad
(Snyder, Johnston, Full-
er, Schneider) finishing in
to two
fourth place.
Teammates Andrea
Monterde and Katie Hard-
er hacked 10 seconds from
their 100 Free and 200
Free times with Katrina
Twitchell knocking over
five seconds offthe 50 free.
With everyone taking
time off at least one indi-
vidual event, Coach Jan
Martin was pleased with
the results of the confer-
ence meet and said it was
a good way to end the
season.

51-44 when Chayli McAr-
thur scored on a drive and
a trey and Ellis hit one of
two at the line. In the final
minute an inside banker
by Amanda Shumway and
a steal by McArthur again
cut the lead to one, 55-54,
but Lovell had to foul to
stop the clock and Lander
hit three of four free throws
down the stretch. A half-
court buzzer-beater by Ellis
made the final score 58-57.
"We gave up too many
points in transition," Ed-
wards said. "We didn't do
a good job getting back
and communicating. Over-
all, we improved our offen-
sive our offensive flow. We
just hurt ourselves at times
with quick shots and care-
less turnovers.
"I was proud of our kids
for how they battled back
into it and gave themselves
a chance at the end."
Amanda Shumway fin-
ished with 20 points, Ellis
15, Chayli McArthur 8, Kim
Shumway 6, Hetland 3,
Renner and Allred 2 each,
Meryk McArthur 1.
WORLAND
The Lady Bulldogs con-
tinued their progress by
stopping the Worland Lady
Warriors 53-41 Saturday
at Riverton High School.
Again, Lovell jumped out
to an early lead, 11-4, and
again, the opponent came
back to take a lead, 14-11,
after the first quarter. But
after Worland took a 16-
13 lead early in the second
period, Lovell exploded for
a 13-0 run to lead 26-16.
Kim Shumway sparked the
run with 8 points, looking
strong in the middle.
Lovell went on to lead
30-22 at halftime, struggled
in the third as Worland out-
scored the Lady Bulldogs
9-5, then pulled away in the
fourth, outscoring the Lady
Warriors 18-10.
"We did a better job of
getting into our offense and
getting the ball in certain
spots that made us success-
ful," Edwards said. "We had
two to three-minute spurts
of turnovers that hurt and
let Worland back in the
game."
Kim Shumway finished
with 19 points, Ellis 10, Re-
asch 8, Amanda Shumway
7, Hetland 4, Allred and
Meryk McArthur 2 each,
Chayli McArthur 1.
LADY CHIEFS TO TOWN
The Lady Bulldogs have
only one game this week-
end when the Wyoming In-
dian Lady Chiefs come to
town tonight (Thursday)
for games at 4 (JV) and
5:30 p.m. It will be the first
games of the season for Wy-
oming Indian.
"They'll be a little young-
er this year," Edwards said.
"They graduated the Hill
girl, who was a significant
part of their team last year.
We're going to have to do a
good job taking care of the
ball against their pressure.
If we can utilize our size
against them we'll create
some mismatch problems for
them."
