Lady Generals<br />

(Continued from Page B1)<br />

“We just decided that we wanted<br />

it, and the pressure was on their<br />

shoulders,” Koch said. “<strong>The</strong>y beat us<br />

in four when we played them here,<br />

and beat us in three when we played<br />

them (in Rock Springs), and they<br />

overlooked us and we came out and<br />

took advantage of it.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> three areas that carried the<br />

Lady Generals were the confidence<br />

they played with, their defense and<br />

the remarkable performances from<br />

every player who stepped on the<br />

court.<br />

“I think we really played intense<br />

on defense,” Cooper said. “(Western<br />

Wyoming is) a very good defensive<br />

team, but I really thought we matched<br />

their effort. For the most part we were<br />

aggressive and played with a lot of<br />

confidence.”<br />

Blake, who said her philosophy<br />

was to “just hit the ball as hard as I<br />

could,” led the way with 27 kills and<br />

27 digs. Heiner added 28 digs, 12<br />

kills and four blocks, while fellow<br />

sophomore Kaci Switzer had 13 digs<br />

and eight kills — nearly every one<br />

coming in a pressure-packed situation.<br />

While Lady General fans have<br />

come to expect big matches from the<br />

trio, it was the players who aren’t normally<br />

in the spotlight who shined on<br />

this night.<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y stepped it up so much<br />

tonight, and I’m so proud of them —<br />

they played their hearts out,” Heiner<br />

said of teammates such as Chelsea<br />

Strong, Koch and Abby Stewart.<br />

“Most of the time they don’t get recognized,<br />

but tonight they really<br />

stepped up. <strong>The</strong>y worked and they<br />

worked and they didn’t give up.”<br />

Strong finished with 32 digs,<br />

Koch had nine blocks and eight kills,<br />

and Stewart finished with 20 digs.<br />

Setter Lindsey Stookey had 56 assists,<br />

eight kills and 12 digs, and Sterling<br />

added seven kills.<br />

Cooper said without those performances,<br />

the Lady Generals would<br />

have slipped into the losers’ bracket<br />

of the double-elimination tournament.<br />

“Jessica Koch had a couple of big<br />

hits and just blocked the heck out of<br />

the ball. She dominated the net at<br />

times,” he said. “Chelsea Strong just<br />

made some great digs for us. Abby<br />

Stewart had four or five outstanding<br />

plays that maybe she wasn’t making a<br />

few weeks ago, and my hat’s off to all<br />

those girls.”<br />

“I think what it is, is everybody<br />

wants it so bad. Everybody wants to<br />

go nationals,” Blake said of the contributions<br />

from all nine Lady<br />

Generals who played. “It feels awesome;<br />

there’s probably no way to<br />

describe it. It’s a great win for us, so<br />

we’ll take that intensity into<br />

(Friday).”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lady Generals brought the<br />

intensity and confidence into<br />

Thursday. Looking nothing like a<br />

team that had been prone to sluggish<br />

starts, mental lapses and letdowns at<br />

the end of games, <strong>Sheridan</strong> College<br />

played like a team that wouldn’t be<br />

denied no matter how strong the Lady<br />

Spartans were on the other side of the<br />

net.<br />

“This is the most intense that I can<br />

ever remember,” Heiner said. “We<br />

played intense the entire time and<br />

never let down. We just trusted each<br />

other, went for everything and played<br />

our hardest.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong>y’re not very big, but<br />

they’re athletic<br />

and they<br />

like to get up<br />

and down the<br />

floor,”<br />

Davidson<br />

said. “It<br />

should be a<br />

fast-paced<br />

game.”<br />

“We’ve struggled with<br />

(intensity) all year,” Blake<br />

added. “I think it was really<br />

more mental than anything.<br />

We definitely showed confidence,<br />

and it felt so good<br />

tonight. It felt way good.<br />

We lost it for a minute, but<br />

we didn’t let down.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lady Generals rallied<br />

back from a nip-andtuck<br />

loss in Game 1 to win<br />

the second game that was<br />

just as tight as the first<br />

before the home team<br />

pulled away at the end.<br />

Switzer tied the third<br />

frame for the 11th time with<br />

a block at 24-24. <strong>The</strong> two<br />

teams traded points before a<br />

Lady Spartan return into the<br />

net and a Stewart shot<br />

caught the line to give the<br />

Lady Generals a 27-25 lead.<br />

Stookey added to the<br />

momentum when her shot<br />

found the floor, and two<br />

unsuccessful Western<br />

Wyoming volleys allowed the Lady<br />

Generals to even the match.<br />

“We just said to stay confident<br />

and good things would happen,”<br />

Cooper said. “Our kids kept their<br />

chins up and they were confident and<br />

they kept doing the things we’ve been<br />

practicing and things turned our way.<br />

“I think after getting that win in<br />

Game 2 they knew they could do it.”<br />

Up 6-5 early in the third game, an<br />

ace from Blake and a block by Koch<br />

spawned a 6-1 run that carried the<br />

Lady Generals to a Game 3 win.<br />

Western Wyoming also had a run<br />

of its own to win Game 4. With it tied<br />

at 17, the Lady Spartans ran off five<br />

straight points to distance themselves<br />

from the Lady Generals and even the<br />

match at 2-2.<br />

“Championship teams want to<br />

play Game 5,” Cooper said he told<br />

the team in the huddle before the<br />

final game. “<strong>The</strong>y want that to be<br />

under the pressure, they want the ball<br />

Bailey, Moss hurting in marquee matchup<br />

DENVER (AP) — This is a<br />

matchup football fans should be<br />

excited about.<br />

This season, however, hasn’t quite<br />

gone the way Champ Bailey or<br />

Randy Moss were hoping it would.<br />

In the preseason, after the Oakland<br />

Raiders signed Moss, Bailey fielded<br />

questions about what it would be like<br />

to have one of the NFL’s most dangerous<br />

receivers in the AFC West,<br />

playing for the Raiders when they<br />

faced the Denver Broncos twice a<br />

year. It had the makings of a great<br />

rivalry within a great rivalry.<br />

When the teams play Sunday,<br />

though, Bailey and Moss will both be<br />

limping to the line — if they make it<br />

to the field at all.<br />

Moss is listed as questionable with<br />

injuries to his groin, ribs and pelvis.<br />

Bailey is listed as probable with a<br />

hamstring injury that has bothered<br />

him all season.<br />

‘‘He’s definitely one of the best in<br />

the game,’’ Bailey said of Moss.<br />

‘‘Has been for a while now. It’s going<br />

to be a challenge.’’<br />

It’ll be even more of one if Moss<br />

is healthy and Bailey hasn’t improved<br />

since the last time he took the field,<br />

two weeks ago against Philadelphia.<br />

In what could now be best known<br />

Stender<br />

(Continued from Page B1)<br />

as Terrell Owens’ final game with the<br />

Eagles, Bailey was put in one-on-one<br />

coverage against the All-Pro receiver<br />

and he gave up two big, embarrassing<br />

plays.<br />

One was a 91-yard run and catch<br />

for a touchdown in which Bailey got<br />

juked then looked to be running gingerly<br />

in an unsuccessful attempt to<br />

catch up. <strong>The</strong> other was on a 43-yard<br />

catch that set up another Eagles score.<br />

Both were largely written off to<br />

the eight- and nine-man pass rushes<br />

Denver called that game, which left<br />

Bailey on the island — ‘‘Ten out of<br />

10 cornerbacks don’t make that tackle,’’<br />

defensive lineman Trevor Pryce<br />

said — and to the injury, which has<br />

nagged Bailey since preseason and<br />

hampered his performance.<br />

Bailey has practiced this week and<br />

thinks he can go. As always, if he’s<br />

healthy enough to play, he won’t be<br />

making excuses.<br />

Meanwhile, Raiders coach Norv<br />

Turner said Moss’ return to the practice<br />

field Wednesday could be construed<br />

as a good sign.<br />

‘‘I think it is progress,’’ Turner<br />

said.<br />

Nonetheless, Moss missed all of<br />

last week’s practice and caught one<br />

pass Sunday in a loss to the Chiefs.<br />

a junior season that saw her earn All-<br />

State honors.<br />

“It’s about as exciting as when<br />

we found out Steph wanted to come<br />

to <strong>Sheridan</strong>,” Elliott said, noting she<br />

attended Big Horn through the<br />

eighth grade. “I think she would<br />

have had the same success regardless<br />

of where she played or who she<br />

would have played under. She’s an<br />

extremely self-motivated, hardworking<br />

athlete with a lot of talent.”<br />

Her energy and enthusiasm for<br />

the sport are the two traits that will<br />

most benefit the Lady Griz.<br />

“She’s just a very high-energy<br />

player who goes nonstop,” Elliott<br />

said. “She can play offense, defense,<br />

inside, outside — she’ll be a big<br />

boost to their program just in terms<br />

of the energy and the personality she<br />

brings.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lady Griz have made the<br />

NCAA tournament 16 times in the<br />

past 23 seasons. <strong>The</strong>y are coached<br />

by Robin Selvig, who has compiled<br />

Carpenter wins<br />

NL Cy Young<br />

NEW YORK (AP) — Two years<br />

ago, when the pain in Chris<br />

Carpenter’s shoulder wouldn’t go<br />

away, he thought his career might be<br />

over.<br />

Patience, persistence and a nasty<br />

curveball earned him the NL Cy<br />

Young Award on Thursday.<br />

After going 21-5 with a 2.83 ERA<br />

for the St. Louis Cardinals, Carpenter<br />

received 19 of 32 first-place votes<br />

and finished with 132 points in balloting<br />

by the Baseball Writers’<br />

Association of America.<br />

He beat out Florida lefty<br />

Dontrelle Willis, becoming the first<br />

Cardinals pitcher to claim the honor<br />

since Hall of Famer Bob Gibson in<br />

1970.<br />

‘‘I can’t believe I won,’’<br />

Carpenter said. ‘‘It’s a great feeling.’’<br />

Willis, who was 22-10 with a 2.63<br />

ERA, was listed first on 11 ballots,<br />

second on 18 and third on three for<br />

112 points. Seven-time winner Roger<br />

Clemens got the other two first-place<br />

votes and came in a distant third at<br />

age 43.<br />

Willis was all class in shrugging<br />

off any disappointment.<br />

‘‘I can always tell my kids, even<br />

when they stop listening to their old<br />

dad, that I was in the running with<br />

Roger Clemens and Chris Carpenter<br />

to win a prestigious award,’’ Willis<br />

said. ‘‘It’s not that bad to be the second-best<br />

pitcher in the league.’’<br />

‘‘He’s not to the point where he<br />

can play, and he certainly wasn’t to<br />

the point on Sunday, where he can<br />

turn it loose for an entire game,’’<br />

Turner said.<br />

Moss hasn’t spoken to the media<br />

since Oakland’s season opener, so his<br />

thoughts about going against Bailey<br />

aren’t known.<br />

<strong>The</strong> last few weeks, however,<br />

have been rough.<br />

Since getting hurt in a game Oct.<br />

16 against San Diego, Moss has<br />

caught seven passes for 76 yards and<br />

two scores — not really invisible, but<br />

hardly the every play threat he normally<br />

is.<br />

‘‘I’m not sure if he’s 100 percent<br />

healthy or not, but at whatever, let’s<br />

say he’s 95 percent, he’s still a dangerous<br />

weapon,’’ Broncos defensive<br />

backs coach Bob Slowik told <strong>The</strong><br />

Gazette of Colorado Springs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Broncos are preparing all<br />

their cornerbacks, not just Bailey, to<br />

try to stop Moss.<br />

‘‘I’ve already played against<br />

Terrell Owens and Deion Branch in<br />

the regular season and against Marvin<br />

Harrison in preseason,’’ rookie<br />

Domonique Foxworth said. ‘‘I’ve had<br />

some great players under my belt so<br />

I’m not intimidated.’’<br />

more than 600 wins in 29 seasons at<br />

the Lady Griz helm.<br />

So what does it say about Lady<br />

Bronc basketball that a program of<br />

Montana’s stature would recruit a<br />

player out of <strong>Sheridan</strong>?<br />

“I think the biggest thing it says<br />

is we’re pretty darn lucky to have<br />

kids like Steph in our program,”<br />

Elliott said. “<strong>The</strong> girls in our program<br />

are just great kids. <strong>The</strong>y’re<br />

good students, they’re good athletes<br />

and they’re nice people to be<br />

around.”<br />

Stender said her only goal is to be<br />

the hardest worker next season in<br />

Missoula.<br />

But as of now, her focus is<br />

squarely on the Lady Broncs.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> ultimate goal would be the<br />

team goal of winning a state championship,”<br />

Stender said. “<strong>The</strong> way I try<br />

to go into each game is, what is our<br />

team goal, and what are we going to<br />

try and accomplish as a team, not as<br />

an individual?”<br />
