Lady Warriors fall to Beatty

December 17, 2010

The Big Pine Lady Warriors got off to a strong start Tuesday against the visiting Beatty Hornets. The squad could not maintain the momentum against the aggressive Nevada team and lost 40-66.
“We are giving great effort,” said coach Dave Mettam, “even though we came out on the losing end. We played against very experienced girls and did not quit.”
Marissa Lemus led the early assault against the Hornets’ press, putting Big Pine ahead 6-3.

Big Pine Warriors win one, lose one

December 17, 2010

The Big Pine Warriors had a split decision this week with a 47-66 loss to the Beatty Hornets Tuesday, redeemed by a 57-44 win over the Mammoth Huskies Wednesday.
The players and coaching staff thought the back-to-back games would be a good warm-up for the holiday break and the start of league play. Beatty was slated to send its JV team; Big Pine took Mammoth lightly, according to assistant coach Derek Carrington.
“Mammoth started on fire,” said Carrington. “They came to play. I think that was the best I’ve seen the Huskies play.”

“We’re 6-4 in pre-league,” said Howard. “If we’d been hitting our free throw shots like we did Tuesday, we’d be 9-1.”
