 The eighth grade basketball team is off to a rousing start.  Sprinting out to a 5-0 record.  The Lady Colts hosted Star Valley on Tuesday, February 3rd at home.  This is a great opportunity as Star Valley is a 4A school.  On Thursday, February 5th Big Piney comes to town for the county rival game.  Then on Saturday, February 7th the Lady Colts venture south to play Mountain View and Lyman, who both will be in the 3A conference next year.  The eighth grade team has played and won each game with the following scores:
 Pinedale 42, Farson 12
 Pinedale 47, Dubois 18
 Pinedale 28, Jackson 14
 Pinedale 44, Cokeville 31
 Pinedale 40, Rich County 16
 
 The team is made up of the following young ladies:
 
 Jordyn Baker, center/forward
 Amber Barta, guard
 Taylor Connors, guard
 Tomara Conrad, center/forward
 Tayln Costello, guard/forward
 Samira Denis, point guard/forward
 Madison Dugan, guard/forward
 Cassidy James, guard
 Rebekah Knapp, forward
 Hattie McKay, center/forward
 Emily Sikorki, point guard/guard
 Alison Sturman, guard
 Kellie Terrell, forward
 Alison Wadsworth, guard
 
 This is one of the best groups of young ladies I have been associated with in 27 years of working with Pinedale athletics.  Their strength as a team is their unselfishness and team effort.  They give 100% in practice and do whatever is asked of them.  They play the game with passion, desire and intensity which shows in their record so far.  I see great things in the future for Pinedale athletics.  I would encourage them to continue the effort, teamwork and hard work as it will pay off in the future.  It is truly a privilege to coach this group of young women.
