Main Street • Newcastle, WY Camp offers glimpse ahead Sonja Karp NLJ Sports Reporter Two weeks ago the Little Dogies basketball players were hard at it in the" Dome, and on Saturday, the big Dogies got their turn to play a little round ball on their home court. This was the seventh year that Dogie head coach Allen Von Eye has hosted a team camp for the boys. Normally, the camp is a two-day event in which participating teams play six games. Because of lower numbers this year, however, the camp was consolidated into a single day with teams playing three games each. The varsity squads attending were Hot Springs, Custer, Lusk and Newcastle. Each team, plus Wright, also brought a junior varsity team. In previous years, teams from Worland, Belle Fourche, Spearfish, Glenrock, Lead, Hill City, Buffalo, Arvada- Clearmont and others have come to Newcastle for the camp. "We are blessed with phe- nomenal facilities, and we are able to logistically host a great team camp with access to three beautiful gyms, so it just makes sense for us to put it on" Von Eye said. He also noted that the camp provides a great opportunity for his kids to play competitive basketball during the offseason at no cost. Newcastle's good location and proximity to other towns throughout the Black Hills makes it feasible for the partici- pating teams to get good quality competition without having to travel very far, he said. The camp is also an inex- pensive option for the other teams because Von Eye only charges $30 a game for other teams. Other camps charge $350 or more. The Dogies generally raise some funds from the camp, but according to Von Eye, the team only made about $50 this year, after paying the workers, because not as many teams as Cam Quigley and Dawson Norton were able to see some varisty playing time this past season and head coach Allen Von Eye looks for them to compete at the varsity level again next year.

Hosting a team camp also gives some of the local officials the opportunity t ° get experi- ence and hone their skills in the off-season, according to Von Eye. The Dogie varsity squad of Taylor Allen, Cooper Karp, Dawson Norton, Alec Martinez, Triston Roberson, Cam Quigley, Cade Ostenson and Sawyer Roberson won all three of its contests. They first defeated Custer by five points, then Hot Springs by eight and finally Lusk by 19 points. "The varsity played extremely good defense in the first three quarters of their games against Custer and Hot Springs, really making them work for every basket and leading most of the way," Von Eye said. "Both teams closed the gap some late, but the Dogies were able to hold them off. We got off to a big lead against a young Lusk team, leading 24-6 at half, and were able to cruise to an easy win." The JV team, which consists of all freshmen and one sopho- more, defeated Hot Springs and Lusk but lost to a varsity-heavy Wright. Playing for this squad were Lyle Whitney, Ostenson, Sawyer Roberson, Jake Lacey, Dylan Talley, Brady Wilkes and Isiah Covey. After losing several seniors to graduation, Dogie coaches use the various summer opportunities to help them put together players who may have never stepped on the court at the same time and to give the team a chance to start building chemistry. Coaches and players both get a glimpse of the poten- tial the team has going into the coming season. Mills rises to the top Douglas Napier for NLJ Hoosier Tire's Black Hills Mini Sprint Tour stopped at the Newcastle Speedway in Newcastle. and the show belonged to Brandon Mills in the No. 22 car for the second race in a row. After winning last week in Sturgis, with a last lap pass, Mills continued his winning ways in Wyoming in front of a packed house. Mills didn't need a late-race pass to win this week because the No. 22 car led all 20 of the feature event's laps, driving the high and low grooves as he worked his way through lapped traffic. Rookie Riley Fremont made a late race attempt to reel in the leader in his No. 808. but time was not on his side. Fremont finished second in the 10 427 race but was disqualified at the scales for being 11 427 10 pounds light. This handed the runner-up spot 12 413 to John Garrigan Jr., riding in 95j, was last year's 13 405 BHMST point co-champion and is doing triple- 14 396 duty driving this weekend with his 95j Thunder 15 374 Stock car at the Black Hills Speedway. He col- lected his first win in this division Friday night. Finishing out the top five was the pole sitter, Jason Robbins in No. 50 in third, BHMST point leader Don Taylor in No. 31 in fourth and time trial's quick-time setter, as well as the winner of the Speedmart's Hard Charger Award for the evening, Reggie Schrank in No. 521 in fifth. The next race for Hoosier Tire's Black Hills Mini Sprint Tour is June 27 in Sturgis at the Jackpine Gypsies short track.

Curry is just a blast to watch play as well. He has mad handles and can put up a shot from downtown in situations that look like there is no way it will fall but is then right on the money. And just when you think he can't get any better, he does something to prove you wrong. There really is only one aspect of these games that has disappointed me. The gentlemen who are covering the games are obviously biased toward the Cavs, and it shows -- especially in the color com- mentary. Now, I know that I have a definite affinity for the Warriors, but even those who are Cavs fans can't deny that the commentators are obvi- ously for Cleveland. But I digress. Game six is a pivotal game. It's win or go home for the Cavs, and with a win, the Warriors would bring home their first NBA champi- onship since 1975. So I'm sure it will be an exciting one from start to finish, and I know that I will be glued to my TV to see how it plays out.
