The Laramie Lady Plainsmen had the makings of a nice home-court win against Green River on Friday night.

The problem was, their was still eight seconds left and the Wolves had the ball.

Trailing by one point, Green River’s Dani Hardy hit a running floater just inside the 3-point line as time ran out to sink the Lady Plainsmen 51-50 at Plainsman Gym.

In the second game of the doubleheader, Green River ran past the Plainsmen 68-51.

It was a heartbreaking loss for the 5-5 Lady Plainsmen, who battled back from a five-point deficit with two minutes remaining.

Laramie coach Rod Tyson credited the Wolves for making one more play.

“It was a deep shot. You make some of those and you miss some of those,” Tyson said. “We tried to put pressure on, keep her in front, and I thought we had pretty good pressure. Obviously, she made the shot.”

Laramie’s McKenzie Harris hit 1-of-2 free throws with 8.1 seconds left to set up the final play.

“Whether she gets loose or not, she still had to make the shot,” Tyson said of Hardy. “She made the shot. Sometimes you are on the good end of those things, sometimes you are on the bad end. That’s just part of the game.”

It a tight defensive battle, the Lady Plainsmen had the slight edge in the first half, leading 7-6 at the end of the first quarter and 21-18 at halftime. Green River hit a last-second shot to close the third quarter for a 36-35 edge with eight minutes to play.

Green River’s biggest lead came late in the fourth quarter on a basket by Hardy and a 3-pointer by Sarah Pickle.

The Lady Plainsmen clawed their way back with a 3-pointer by junior Alyssa Schmidt and tied the game at 46-each on a steal and layup by senior Brea Curry. Laramie led 49-48 on a basket by Kylie Olson and a free throw by Kyleigh Hiser with 33 seconds left.

Hardy led the Wolves, 6-6, with 23 points.

Tyson said his young team is getting a little tougher and smarter, which showed in the final couple of minutes.

“One thing that I know is we are not going to give up, we’re always fighting,” Tyson said. “We could have easily given up with a couple of minutes left.”

Hiser, just a freshman, came off the bench to lead Laramie with 13 points.

“Kyleigh Hiser is becoming a real steady force for us,” Tyson said. “That’s a good thing. She didn’t make too many of her jump shots, but she is always pounding the ball real tough. She’s made a lot of progress -- she’s only a freshman.

“McKenzie Harris really picked it up for us. The good thing about our team is somebody stepping up different every game.”

Harris scored six points, all in the second half.

The Lady Plainsmen will return to action on Saturday at Rock Springs, beginning at 6 p.m.

Plainsmen start slow
Too little, too late might be an understatement for the Plainsmen at times this season. It certainly was on Friday night, as the talented Wolves led from start to finish.

Laramie did make a run, though, outscoring Green River 19-2 to begin the fourth quarter, after the Wolves led 54-27 at the end of three.

The Plainsmen, 4-6, cut the lead to 10 with 3:30 to play, but could get no closer.

Laramie coach Jason Mountain told his team at the end of the third quarter that it was now or never.

“But I’m tired of us making those late fourth-quarter runs,” Mountain said. “I’ve said this time and again, it’s too little, too late sometimes. Two out of the last three games we have tried to claw our way back into it. We were down way to far; we dug ourselves a huge hole.

Mountain added that it is easy to play well when there is nothing on the line, when you are down by 27 points.

“There’s no pressure on you,” he said. “I tried to light the fire on them several times and it didn’t seem to grab on.”

Without leading scorer Dan Estes, the Plainsmen have had problems with a leader out on the court, especially in these situations.

“That was a big part of what went out when we lost Dan Estes.” Mountain said. “I think a lot of our identity went and we’re still trying to regain that and try to find ourselves still. I think somebody needs to step up. Allen West chose to do that last Saturday, but really no one chose to do it (Friday night). Really, I don’t need just one guy, I need everybody because I have a bunch of guys who are hard workers, but aren’t all-state players. I need somebody to step up and act like an all-state player.”

Green River (8-4) was paced by Drew Martinez’s 24 points. The Wolves jumped out to a 12-2 lead in the game and led 19-6 after one period and 38-18 at halftime.

Mountain said there is no doubt that the Wolves are a talented team.

“They have a great ballclub,” Mountain said. “They are very athletic, very long, just basketball-oriented. They know where to go, they know the looks.”

Karsten Hiser led the Plainsmen with 13 points, followed by Jon Sorenson with nine and Mason Orcutt with eight.

Laramie will look to bounce back Saturday at Rock Springs, with a 7:30 p.m. tip-off.

Hooper, Bulldogs roll past Lady Plainsmen

By Richard Anderson
Wyoming Sports.org

Some combinations hurt. Saturday‘s combination of poor shooting by the Laramie Lady Plainsmen and the outstanding play of Alliance’s Jordan Hooper were deadly.

Hooper, the reigning Nebraska Gatorade Player of the Year, scored 32 points and had several big defensive plays to lead Alliance past Laramie 54-39 at Plainsman Gym.

The 6-foot-2 Bulldog junior showed all of the tools that has Division I college coaches knocking on her door. In fact, Wyoming head coach Joe Legerski and associate head coach Gerald Mattinson were in attendance at Saturday‘s game. Hooper has already made a recruiting trip to Stanford, while other national powers such as Tennessee are said to be interested. Hooper is also highly recruitted in volleyball, especially by nationally-ranked Nebraska.

Hooper helped break open a relatively close game at 25-23 with a 20-4 run, highlighted when she blocked a Lady Plainsmen shot, grabbed the loose ball and took it coast-to-coast for a layup. Hooper scored 20 of the team’s 32 points in the second half.

The win moved Alliance, Class B runnerups last season in Nebraska, to 9-1 on the season. Hooper helped lead Alliance to the state title her freshman season.

“We tried several things. We doubled her and she kicked it out and they hit a couple of 3s on us,” Laramie coach Rod Tyson said. “That is a good, smart team. But if we make some shots, we’re right in the game.”

The Lady Plainsmen (5-4) had more shots from the field in the contest, but couldn’t get those shots to fall with just 16 field goals, including four 3-pointers.

“The biggest difference was that we could not make any shots," Tyson said. "With that, we had a lot of tips and still some opportunities, but we turned it right back over. We had several things that could have helped us, we just didn’t get it done.”

Saturday’s game was the first for Laramie since a loss to Gering, Neb., on Dec. 19, although the Lady Plainsmen did play an alumni game on Dec. 27.

Tyson said he wasn’t sure if the layoff hurt the Lady Plainsmen.

“It’s hard to say because I haven’t been in a situation with these girls after a long layoff,” Tyson said. “I don’t know if that had something to do with it or not. I guess we’ll find out in the future. I think, by looking at the jayvee game, the girls were ready to play. Defensively, our presses were doing a good job. Maybe the layoff had something to do with our shots, but we didn’t shoot very well in the last two or three games.”

One thing Tyson was sure of, though, is his players need to be more confident with their shot.

“After you start missing, you’re confidence gets down,” he said. “Instead of thinking the next time I shoot it I am going to make it, you’re nervous about missing it. If you think you are going to miss, you’re probably going to miss.”

The good news for the Lady Plainsmen: They’ll get right back at it on Monday and prepare for Friday’s home game with Green River.

“We’re playing every weekend from here on out, so we have to get ready and get to work,” Tyson said.

Plainsmen win home opener

By Richard Anderson
Wyoming Sports.org

Finally might have been uttered a few times on the court and on the bench for the Laramie Plainsmen. Not only were they playing at home for the first time this season, but they played well down the stretch., stopping Alliance, Neb., 65-51 Saturday at Plainsman Gym.

The Plainsmen finished strong after an auspicious beginning that saw the game delayed for about a half hour when the Laramie student section threw baby powder in the air, which got on the court and was hard to remove.

Laramie was hit with a technical foul for delay of game and it was 2-0 before the actual opening tip.

The Plainsmen, however, played through the delay and the absence of leading scoring Dan Estes (25 ppg), who is out for the season after a snowboarding accident over the holiday break.
What Laramie did was turn to senior post Allen West and a balanced scoring attack to hold off Alliance.

West had a career high 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Cameron Fry added 10. Eight Plainsmen got in the scoring column, with seven scoring six or more points.

“It was very balanced tonight,” Laramie coach Jason Mountain said. “ I got a lot of production out of my bench, which was really nice to see. And Allen West was amazing. He kept us in the Gering game and he really contributed in our win tonight.”

Without Estes, West said that it had to be a team effort.

“We expected the entire team to step up,“ West said. “Everybody just did their part and it came together.”

Mountain has told the team that while they have to find the missing 25 points a game, they don’t need someone to put up 20 shots a night.

“We can’t have just one guy, it has to be a couple of guys,“ Mountain said. “Tonight, I thought those guys was Cameron Fry, one those guys was Allen West. I thought Nick Mayes’s points off the bench were great for us.

“It was balanced and a couple of starters throwing in three or four here and three or four there, that always helps. If we can get that night in and night out, we’re going to have chances to win basketball games."

Laramie led for most of the first half, only to see Alliance come on strong late in the second quarter to take a 30-28 lead at the halftime break. The Plainsmen then turned to a 3-2 zone defense and shut down Alliance in the second half.

Laramie outscored Alliance 22-12 in the fourth quarter.

“They were getting too many open looks and we shifted to that 3-2 and it helped up out considerably,“ Mountain said. “It helped stemmed the tide, absolutely.”

It was somewhat of a strange start and day for the Plainsmen, but a strong finish, something that Mountain has been waiting to see.

“Even with the delay, even with the technical foul starting down 0-2, the fact that we haven’t been home in a long time, I thought we stepped up well and responded in a fashion that we needed to,” Mountain said.

Laramie, 4-5, returns to action next Friday when it host Green River.

Rivalry continues as Plainsmen, Camels battle in the pool

By Richard Anderson
Wyoming Sports.org

It just seems a little hotter in the pool when Laramie and Gillette meet in boys’ swimming. And humidity has nothing to do with it.

Laramie and Gillette have had a rivalry second to none in high school swimming in both boys and girls … but especially in the boys’ field.

Unless something unusual happens, either the Camels or the Plainsmen will win another state title in March. It would be the seventh straight year that one of the programs has won it all. The last time a non Laramie/Gillette team won the boys’ title was in 2002 when Casper Kelly Walsh snuck in there. You can go back another 10 years -- 1992 -- when Green River won the title. Other than that, it was either Laramie or Gillette.

“Laramie and Gillette are the two best teams in the state, or among the two,” veteran Laramie head coach Tom Hudson said. “We just have a great rivalry. We always get up to swim against them. It’s been that way for the last 30 years at Laramie High.”

The Camels, under the tutelage of Laramie native Mike Miller, have the edge in the overall series and especially as of late. Gillette has won 13 state titles under Miller in his 23 years at the helm, while the Plainsmen have won five under Hudson in his 18 years.

Gillette has also won the last three titles, with the Plainsmen winning the previous three.

“The rivalry between Laramie and Gillette has always been this way. Since we got back to start doing better again after our slump in the early 1990s … it’s been a great battle throughout the years,” Tom Hudson said. “Mike Miller has just been a tremendous coach. He always have these guys up for this meet and I always try to get our guys up of this meet. Honestly, they have won a lot more dual meets than we have.”

On Saturday, the two teams met for the second time in two weeks at the Laramie Recreation Center and the Camels pulled out a 96-90 win. Gillette has won each time out against Laramie this season in either duals or invitationals … but the gap is closing.

Miller, who competed against Hudson while he was at Laramie and Hudson at Sheridan, were also teammates at the University of Wyoming.

Miller said they are both quality programs with excellent coaching staffs and hard-nosed, hard working, quality athletes.

“These kids are all by-products of whoever taught us to do the things that we do and be the way we are,“ Miller said. “When you have two quality programs like that, you’re bound to have some great competition.”

On Saturday, the meet closed with the Plainsmen, led by Mike Hudson (Tom’s son) edging out Gillette freshman phenom Nick Dillinger in the final leg of the 400 freestyle relay.

For a day, at least, the Plainsmen won the battle, with the outcome of the war yet to be decided.
“Nick was on that relay, so we knew we had to swim our best. He is like the Michael Phelps of Wyoming of whatever,” Mike Hudson said. “It is a little extra motivation.”

Up until that race, Tom Hudson said the Plainsmen lost every close race that day. With that said, he was pleased to see his team come out on top against the strong Gillette relay squad.

“We showed an awful lot of heart in the 400 free relay holding off the Gillette team; Nick Dillinger is just a phenomenal freshman swimmer and we held them off,” Tom Hudson said. “It was our best time of the year, so I am happy with that. I’m happy with how hard we competed. We just have to keep getting better.”

As could be expected, Laramie and Gillette battle it out in youth swimming as well. Competing in high school is just an extension of several years of facing each other in meets across the state or in the region.

“I have some good rivalries with some of the kids. I’ve been swimming against them since I was about 8,” Mike Hudson said. “It’s good to win against them, sometimes.”

Neither coach has to really come up with any type of motivational speech when they face off; they all now what is at stake.

“We know they are really good, so we know that when we swim them we have to show up and do our best,” Mike Hudson said. “It’s a little extra motivation to go fast … it’s always nice to beat Gillette.”

Miller said his swimmers know the rivalry and the intensity that is there.

“There were a handful of years, about five or six years ago, that we weren’t every competitive (in the early 2000s),” he said. “I’m glad that our teams are back to where they are because we definitely have our best meets of the year against Laramie.”

The two teams will meet again a couple more times this season, including on Feb. 6 in a dual in Gillette. The Camels are still on top and have every intention of winning their fourth straight state title in March. That is, unless the Plainsmen have anything to do with it.

“We’re within a good range,” Mike Hudson said. “ By the time state comes, we should be around where they are.”

Tom Hudson likes his team‘s depth, which he believes will be the difference at state.

“They have two tremendous swimmers in every event, and hopefully by state, we’ll have three or four,” Hudson said.

National Football Foundation announces state nominees

Eighty-three top football scholar-athletes from 31 different Wyoming high schools have been nominated to receive scholarships and recognition by Wyoming Chapter of the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.

In one of the most anticipated award banquets of the calendar year, the Wyoming Chapter event honors the state’s top 10 prep scholar-athletes, plus two scholar-athletes from the University of Wyoming. The 2009 banquet, the 15th annual awards banquet, is planned for March 21 at the Hilton Garden Inn and University of Wyoming Conference Center in Laramie.

The Wyoming Chapter will also recognize scholar-athlete courage and perseverance award winners at the annual event and honor selected state residents for their respective lifetime contributions to amateur football, coaching, officiating and fandom.

Wyoming Chapter President Mike Schutte said the 83 nominations were made by prep coaches across the state based upon a player’s academic achievement, football skill and community involvement. Each nominee will receive a certificate from the Wyoming Chapter.

The 10 finalists, which include a lineman and a back from each of the state’s five high school football classifications, will be awarded plaques and $1,200 scholarships and have their names inscribed at the National College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana. The state’s top scholar-athlete will also receive an additional $1,200 scholarship.

Schutte said the Wyoming Chapter is holding it’s annual banquet in Laramie for the first time and that another sellout crowd is anticipated. “It is an exciting and motivational evening and anyone can attend.” Tickets are $30 and may be purchased by contacting Schutte at 970-484-2797 or at MShootee@starband.net.

The Wyoming Chapter of the NFF-CHF is the second largest chapter in the nation out of 120 chapters. Schutte said his goal to have the largest chapter from the least populated state is within reach.
