The team was led by Melony Fetter who scored 14 points. Donna Dale scored six points, Jaynes scored three points and Shania Kill Eagle scored two points.

“The first time we played them we got down by forty points,” Assistant coach Kill Eagle said. “This is a state team. They are ranked in the state and I think our team did outstanding. Especially the first quarter, we had them so frustrated and I think it surprised our girls.”

The coaches praised Dale, who had the tall task of trying to slow down the Outlaws in the paint.

“I was in tears after the game because Donna Dale worked her butt off,” Coach Kill Eagle said. “Anything we ask her to do, she will do and she will do it the best she can, 100 percent the whole game.”

Though the team lost, the coaches were impressed with the efforts of Dale, who helped frustrate their opponent.

“She held those post players (in check),” Coach Kill Eagle said.
