The Lady Chiefs have played in more regional championship games than any other team in Wyoming, and they look to our course for yet another one. Wyoming Indian rolled over Fremont County rival Shoshoni 58-15 in a game that ended with the running clock to open the Class 2-A West Tournament at Riverton at noon on Thursday.
Shoshoni played excellent defense in the opening half but couldn’t find the distance from the floor.
A post move by Morgan Donelson followed by a baseline jump shot from Madi Ramage were the only Shoshoni points in the opening period. The second wasn’t much better with Brenna Metzler scoring.
The Lady Chiefs weren’t on top of their offensive game, but their defense kept Shoshoni off the scoreboard. Wyoming pitched a shutout in the third period, holding the Lady Blue scoreless.
Wyoming Indian had balance and warmed up from the perimeter in the middle periods hitting five of their eight 3-point shots in the second and third as they rolled to a 42-7 lead.
Taya Dixey led the Lady Chiefs with 14, Dionne Ferris had a dozen, including three treys and Deja Felter scored 11.
Wyoming Indian faces Rocky Mountain at 6 pm in semi-final action at Wolverine Gym.
Shoshoni plays Big Piney in a loser-out game at 11:30, also at Riverton High School.
