In March, the Lady Camel basketball players wrapped up their season at the state tournament in Casper, with a 3rd place victory, defeating Sheridan 63-50. “The year went pretty well and we finished it off solid,” senior Hannah Early said.

Photography teacher Paul Waldum added, “I’ve watched many of these girls since they were little and I enjoy complimenting them throughout the week in class.”

            The girls went 19-10 overall and 5-5 in Conference. Head coach Mitch Holst said, “This year’s conference was as competitive as it has ever been.”

            Senior Mo Bunney and junior Jordan Kelley were awarded All-Conference. Kelley was also awarded All-State, along with, Gatorade Player of the Year and 4A Player of the Year. She led the team in scoring, assists, free throws and steals. “This was a major rebuilding year since we lost seven seniors, but we improved as the year went on,” Kelley said. “We had a lot of support from our community and made the best of everything.”

            The Camels were able to grab a 1st place trophy in the Camel Tournament and 3rd place in the Energy Classic, both of which were held in Gillette. “We started the year off awesome, had a bad stretch, and then finished off on a good note,” Holst said.

            Many of the girls are looking forward to next year. Sophomore Dacia Lyman said, “I’m really excited; open gym starts soon.”

            Kelley added, “We will be strong and ready for a challenge.”
