“Those first two games (of the season) we were reacting to our opponent instead of dictating what they do,” Fagnant said. “When we went into the Big Piney game, we changed the tempo, and we just kept that going into the next weekend.”
Kyla Pollard had three steals, four rebounds and five points. Madelyn Gregory had eight points, six rebounds and four steals. Kinzee Painter had 10 points, two rebounds and four steals against Green River.

Painter scored seven points and picked up two steals against ICS. Pollard had two steals.
The first test for the Lady Rangers in the new year will be on Jan. 4 and 5 at the Kemmerer tournament.
“We will continue to practice our fundamentals on the defensive end, and we’ll try to implement a few different pressure packages by the end of the year so that we’re not as predictable,” Fagnant said. “It’s exciting to be where we’re at.”
They will play Rich High School to kick off the tournament.
