When the Campbell County High School student section showed up at Sheridan High School wearing all black, you knew the Lady Camels (14-4, 5-0) meant business against their archrival nemesis the Lady Broncs (13-4, 3-2). Gillette fell behind early 9-2, and despite not recording their first points of the game until midway through the first quarter on a lay up by Sierra Toms, the Lady Camels were able to prevail 55-51 to remain undefeated in Eastern Conference play.

Gillette trailed for the majority of the game as they didn’t grab their first lead until there was just 31.4 seconds remaining in the third quarter when Shelby Johnson scored her first FG of the game and made it a three-point play by making the free throw. There was three more lead changes from that point on, but the Lady Camels grabbed the lead for good with just 59.4 seconds remaining with the score 52-51. Late baskets by Dacia Lyman, Julia Seamans, McCorra Ford and free throws by Toms and Steph Casteel really propelled the Lady Camels to victory.


Toms finished with a team-high 15 points and was the only Lady Camel of the 10 that scored to finish in double figures. Dacia Lyman and Dani Williams each finished with 6 points, Lexi Hill and Shelby Johnson each had 5, while Julia Seamans, Lexi Wilde, Casteel, and Ford each finished with 4 as Michaela Anderson scored an early basket to end with 2 points.


Leading the way for the Lady Broncs and the game was Hailey Ligocki as she scored a game-high 20 points with Nicole Gollinvaux right behind her with 16.
