The Rocky Mountain Lady Grizz fought for back-to-back wins against Greybull and Shoshoni on Friday and Saturday. Head coach Justin Moss said that it was obvious all week in practice that the girls were locked in again and ready to play a strong game going into conference play.
The Lady Grizz started off strong at Greybull Friday with junior Brittly Boettcher hitting a three-pointer from the top of the key and another jumper from the right wing early in the game, Moss said. While Boettcher got the game started, the defense kept the game going.

The Lovell Lady Bulldogs survived a nail-biter 44-38 win on Friday night in Johnny Winterholler Gymnasium over the Worland Lady Warriors to start off 1-0 in conference play.
“Although it wasn’t the prettiest basketball game, I’m happy we were able to pull off the win and managed to be the team with the least number of turnovers,” Lovell head coach Chris Edwards said.
Worland struck first to go up 2-0, but Lovell quickly answered back with a steal by Libby Mickelson, who dished it off to Kenadee Rael in transition for a layup the other way.
