Encampment High School’s inside-shot strategy just wasn’t enough to split the Miners’ wall on Friday night as the Lady Tigers left the court with a 43-37 loss.
“We missed too many easy buckets,” Encampment coach Jami Krein said. “We came out aggressive in the first half, but in the second we didn’t play as hard and had too many unforced turnovers again.”
Hanna Elk Mountain Medicine Bow stuck to what it knew and pounded the basket with outside shots. The Tigers were too tame to stop them. Amanda Booth scored 15 points and added seven steals. Jennifer Korkow netted 12 points and Penny Blauvelt added 13 rebounds and five assists for the Miners.
Encampment did push toward getting the second shots. Chelsea Knotwell took down seven boards, while teammate Jamie Marchetti had six. Mackenzie Rakness and Kindle Soderberg walked off with four each.
Teamwork paid off to earn the Tigers’ 37 points. Knotwell contributed 10, Marchetti had eight, and Shelby Wilder bucketed six. Rakness, Soderberg and Lacey Hooker walked away with four points each.
“It was a better game than we’ve played in a while,” Krein said. “Almost everybody put up some points for us.”
“It was great to go on the road and get a conference win,” Miner head coach Jackie Jones said.
