The Lady Wolves started conference play with a bang last week, winning games against Evanston and Jackson last week, giving them a 10-4 overall record and a 2-0 conference record.
The Lady Wolves defeated Evanston during the annual military appreciation game Thursday in Green River 49-33. The Lady Wolves were victorious in Jackson Saturday, defeating the Lady Broncs 54-34.
Head coach Rick Carroll, said he was happy with the girls’ performance during an interview after the Evanston game.
“We played a pretty good game,” he said.
He said the Lady Wolves took great care of the ball throughout the night, only having 11 turnovers throughout the game. Carroll said going into Jackson, the plan was to play fast and force turnovers. He said the hope was the higher tempo of the game would cause their opponents to make more errors, giving the Lady Wolves opportunities to capitalize and score.
While he’s happy with how the players are competing, Carroll said there are a few issues he’d like to iron out as the season progresses.
Carroll said the girls have a tendency to get comfortable when they establish a lead, which results in the girls not playing to the best of their abilities. He would like to see them continue pressuring their opponents regardless of the lead they’ve built up.
Carroll also said he plans to work on rebounding and teaching the girls to have more patience when shooting.
He said patience is a key for creating better scoring opportunities, allowing players to better pick shots with better chances of making it into the basket.
The Lady Wolves will play at home Saturday against Star Valley at 3:30 p.m.
