Lady Wolves ready for conference, offense shows growth last week

It’s a whole new season for the Green River High School girl’s basketball team.

The Lady Wolves will open the 2014 4A West conference season with two games this week. Green River will travel to Evanston Thursday, and will host Riverton Saturday at 1 p.m.

Last week, Green River (2-8) dropped two games on the road 40-26 against Cheyenne South and 42-39 to Laramie.

Following the games, head coach Rick Carroll said the team is starting to see where they need to be on the offensive side of the ball. He said they are starting to get more familiar with where others need to be, now they just need to work on confidence and knowing they have some girls that can be scorers.

“I think we’re slowly getting to the point we know where we’re going,” Carroll said.

In the matchup Thursday, Green River will be facing Ali Barker, who currently leads the 4A West in scoring with 13.7 points per game.

Carroll said the Lady Red Devils have a couple of girls who can score and the team will need to be focused on where they need to be defensively, but added the team has been playing pretty good on the defensive end.

On offense, Carroll said they need to be ready for the full court press and taking care of the basketball.

He said the Lady Wolves will need to slow down, make good passes and get the ball where it needs to be.

Because Carroll took over as head coach four games into the season, he said they have been trying to learn one another and are figuring out what they need to do as a team.

He said they now need to bring it all together and stressed the importance of each game during conference play.

“It’s important because it will determine where you will be seeded in the regional tournament,” he said.
