Win streak ends at eight for lone boys
T h e lo n e b o y s ’
varsity stretched their win
streak to eight before seeing
it come to an end this past
weekend. The team dow ned
N ixyaaw ii on January 18
before falling to an athletic
Sherm an County team in
Moro on January 19.
The Cardinals never
trailed in their m atch-up
with Nixyawii on Friday.
Paul Hams hit a three to
open the game and the Cards
put up nine points before the
Golden Eagles got on the
board. At the end o f one,
lone led 9-5, the smallest
point spread between the
two teams for the remainder
o f the contest.
The Cardinals bat
tled the Golden Eagles at
tempt at a slow-down game
by repeatedly stealing the
ball in the second quarter.
Sophomore Matt Hams went
to town, putting up 13 points
in the second quarter to push
the Cards lead to 28-16 at
the half. lone outscored
Nixyaawii 20-7 in the third
and 15-10 in the fourth for
the final 63-33 margin.
Matt Hams led all
scorers w ith 21 points, fol
lowed closely by brother
Paul with 18. Nine of the
10 Cardinals scored in the
game. The Brothers Hams
also accounted for a 100%
shooting effort from the free
throw line connecting on
the grand total o f eight free
throws shot by the team in
the game.
The Cards continued
to shoot well, hitting 46%
of their shots from the floor.
The Golden Eagles outdid
the Cardinals on the boards
though, holding a 28-25 ad
vantage. Cory Peterson, Kip
Krebs and Matt Hams each
had four rebounds. In other
stats, Justin Archer and Alan
Rietmann led the way with
four assists each while Paul
Hams and Clay Morter each
grabbed three steals.
“ 1 thought we did
a good job o f adjusting to
Nixyaawii trying to slow
the game down,” said Coach
Dennis Stefani. “The kids
did a great job o f changing
the tempo and were able to
open the game up.”
On S aturday, the
Cardinals faced a team that
looked re m a rk a b ly like
themselves, playing Sher
man in Moro.
The first q u a rte r
was a track meet with both
teams getting up and down
the floor fast. Kip Krebs
dum ped in the first four
points of the game and Paul
Hams capitalized on a steal
to score on a full court lay
in. Sherman County then
ran off' six straight points to
tie the game and the teams
swapped scores for the re
mainder of the quarter. Matt
Hams hit a three-pointer
with just over five minutes
gone in the quarter but the
Huskies returned the favor
seconds later. Paul Hams’
reverse lay in at the buzzer
made the score 15 all at the
end of one.
In the second quar
ter, Sherman struck first,
hitting a three pointer early
on. However the game con
tinued to see-saw' with the
lead changing hands six
times. Matt H am s’ three-
pointer near the end of the
period gave the Cardinals a
26-24 halftime edge.
The C ards let the
Huskies open up an eight
point lead in the third quar
ter, 41-33, but went on a
10-3 run to close the quarter
trailing by one, 44-43. It
w as more of the same in the
fourth. The Huskies worked
up a three point lead which
was answered by Justin Ar
cher hitting a shot and Matt
Hams making successive
buckets, one a three pointer
for the Cardinals to take a
four point lead. With 2:01
on the clock, Kip Krebs put
back an offensive rebound
to tie the score at 53 and
seconds later, Paul Hams
made the first shot of a one
and one to put the Cards up
54-53. But from that point
on, lone could not get their
shots to fall and Sherman
connected on five of six free
throw attempts to take the
game 58-54.
Paul Hams led the
team in scoring with 14 fol
lowed by Matt Hams with
13 and Kip Krebs with 11.
The Cards shot 33% from
the field but a key differ
ence was at the free throw
line. The Cards made four
of their eight attempts while
Sherman got 20 chances and
made 13.
Sherman got the bet
ter o f the Cardinals on the
boards, 43-35. Clay Morter
led lone’s effort with 11 re
bounds and Kip Krebs had
nine. Paul Hams dished out
nine assists and grabbed five
steals. Clay Morter had two
blocked shots.
“This was a tough
loss,” said Coach Dennis
Stefani. “ Rebounding was
the difference in this game.”
He did give credit to Sher
man County, a team that
played well. However he
noted that Sherman had 28
turnovers, compared to 17
to lone but the team “didn’t
convert enough o f those to
win.”
The Cardinals move
on to another tough weekend
of Big Sky play, traveling to
Condon on Friday night and
hosting Horizon Christian
on Saturday.

Lady Cardinals drop two games
The lone Lady Car
dinals lost two games this
w eekend but m ade both
games competitive. lone fell
to league-leading Nixyaawii
on Friday and lost narrowly
to Sherman County on Sat
urday.
For the first half on
January 18, the Lady Car
dinals gave Nixyaawii all
they could handle. Trailing
8-1, Em ily Rietm ann hit
the first basket for lone to
narrow the gap to five. The
Golden Eagles made a pair
o f free throws before fresh
man, Beth M orter, made
six straight points to cut the
Nixyaawii lead to one. Nix
hit a basket near the end of
the quarter to end the period
leading 12-9.
In the second quar
ter, the Lady Cards got close
but could never quite take
the lead. K ylee S vetich
made a hook shot midway
through ffie q u arter and
when Emily Rietmann hit
a basket shortly afterwards,
the Lady Cards trailed by
just one, 18-17. The Golden
Eagles responded with a
three pointer and another
basket. Kaylee Palm ateer
hit a three pointer to nar
row the m argin back to
three. Nix scored but lone
responded when Kylee Svet
ich hit the front half o f a one
and one and then moments
later, hit a basket, assisted
by Briana Peterson. Again
Nix answered with a three
and when Emily Rietmann
made a shot with less than
a minute to go, the Lady
Cards trailed by that familiar
margin o f three, 28-25 at
the half.
The th ird q u arter
started well when Emily Ri
etmann hit two free throws
to cut N ix ’s lead to ju st
28-27. But after that it was
all Golden Eagles. Outscor-
ing the Lady Cards 18-5 in
the quarter, Nix prevented
lone from hitting a field goal
until the waning moments
o f the third quarter when
Brenna Rietmann found the
basket. Nixyaawii’s pressure
defense continued to stymie
the Lady Cards in the fourth
as they were outscored 17-6,
leading to the final margin
o f 63-36.
“ We played really
good basketball in the first
half,” said Coach Ryan Ru
dolf “but had a tough third
quarter. A three point game
quickly became a 20 point
gam e.” He noted that the
team had “too many turn
overs in the third quarter,”
and the shots that the team
made in the first half just
w eren ’t there in the sec
ond.
Emily Rietmann led
the team in scoring with nine
points. Beth Morter added
six and Kylee Svetich had
five. Nine Lady Cardinals
tallied points in the con
test.
Traveling to Sher
man County on Saturday,
the Lady Cards expected a
tough and physical outing,
lone scored first on a shot by
Kylee Svetich with a minute
gone. Thirty seconds later,
Beth Morter made a basket
and lone led 4-0. Sherman
County then came to life
and outscored lone 10-3
to lead 10-7 at the end o f
quarter one. A cold second
quarter where all the points
came at the free throw line
caused lone to trail 18-11 at
the half.
T ia n a C a m a rillo
went on a scoring spree in
the third quarter, scoring
eight of the team’s 10 points.
The Lady Cards 6-0 run to
start the quarter enabled
them to close the gap to
18-17. The Huskies would
stretch the lead back out
but with 55 seconds to go in
the quarter, Tiana Camarillo
once again narrow ed the
lead to three, 24-21. Sher
man scored three points to
close the quarter and take a
27-21 lead into the fourth.
lone chipped away
at Sherm an’s lead in the
final period. After an early
Husky score, Kylee Svet
ich took a nice pass from
Tiana Camarillo for a lay
in to make the score 29-23.
Beth Morter scored on an
inbounds pass and then later,
Tiana Camarillo hit another
shot to close the gap to just
29-27. Sherman put back
an offensive rebound before
Beth M orter hit two free
throws. With 3:19 remaining
in the game, lone trailed by
just two points but that is
as close as they would get.
Sherman scored twice more
before the Lady Cards were
forced to foul sending the
Huskies to the line 11 times
in the last two m inutes,
cashing in on nine o f those.
C oincidentally, nine was
the final margin o f victory,
43-34 in favor o f Sherman
County.
Tiana Camarillo led
the team in scoring with 10.
Emily Rietmann had nine,
Kylee Svetich had eight and
Beth Morter had seven.
“We did some good
things this weekend,” said
Coach Ryan Rudolf. “ We
played some com petitive
basketball against two o f the
best teams in the league.”
He commended the team for
a strong third quarter against
Sherman but noted that the
shots just didn’t fall for the
Lady Cardinals at the end of
the game. “Sherman made
their free throws when they
give WOW.

deficit on the way to a con
vincing 61-42 win. RJ Ra

high 20 points in the third
quarter, leading the team to
the win.
Early on, the teams
played even. lone trailed
12-10 after one and was
down 28-24 at the half. The
third quarter offensive show
knocked the Huskies out of
contention though as the
Cardinals built a 52-35 lead
at the end o f three.
“They did g re a t,”
said Coach Jim Swanson.
“They shot 47% , had 41
rebounds, 17 assists and 15
steals and when you have
those kinds o f stats, you
have a really complete game
with no let-down quarter.”
RJ Ram os led all
scorers with 20. He also
had four assists, eight steals
and two blocks. Also scor
ing for the Cardinals was
Tanner Rietmann with 14,
Alex Rietmann with seven,

Coach Swanson was
delighted with the win. “RJ

and Tanner Rietmann had
another “solid game.”
