RMMS basketball team starts season strong

The Rocky Mountain Middle School girls basketball team has started their season on a great foot. There was only one game this week for the Lady Grizz. The mighty B team traveled to Meeteetse Tuesday night.

“We are off to a good start,” head coach Taylor Winland said. “We have had three games so far, and we are competitive at all three levels. Once state volleyball and football are over, games will start to pick up, and we are excited to watch the girls continue to grow and compete.”

The Lady Grizz B team defeated Meeteetse 29-11. Their leading scorer was Ryan May with 6 points, followed by Miranda Bassett with 5 baskets. Portia Anderson, Karlie Larsen and Adrianna De La Cruz put in 4 points each for the team. Elly Samson, Paizlee Fisher and Ember Jones all contributed 2 points to the final score, putting the Lady Grizz at 29 points and taking the win.

“The girls played really well tonight,” B team Coach Julie Winland said. “They ran through their offensive and found the open shots. I’m very proud of them.”

On Monday, November 9, all three teams will take on the Greybull Buffs at 4:15 p.m. Then on Thursday, Nov. 12, the Lady Grizzlies will head to Lovell to take on the Bulldogs at 4:15 p.m.
