Dogies meet Thermop with
playoff berth on the line
Sonja Karp
NLJ Sports Reporter
The struggle is real, and that fact has become
more than evident for the Dogies as the regular
season winds down and the team is team tries
desperately to find the rhythm it had earlier in
the year.
"There was a quote that I heard recently,"
head coach Matt Conzelman sighed. "You learn
more from losing than you do winning, and
if that's the case, we're definitely getting an
education."
For the second week in a row, the Dogies
were shut out by their opponent as the Big Horn
Rams cruised to a 49-0 victory last Friday on
their home field.
"It came down to the fact that they executed
and we didn't," Conzelman explained. "They
had three or four huge plays that we just couldn't
counter."
Though his team had moments early in the
game that looked promising, Conzelman noted
that they were just not able to get into any offen-
sive rhythm, and defensively the Dogies were a
little off as well.
On the first drive of the game, his team was
able to get the ball all the way down to the 15
yard line, but then got a holding call that stalled
the offense. The team attempted a field goal in
order to get on the board, but were unable to get
the ball through the uprights.
"Penalties were tough again for us in that
game, and that's been the monkey on our back
this year," Conzelman frowned. "We really just
need to put a complete game in, and that's defi-
nitely what we're preaching to the guys."
It didn't help that the Rams' game plan con-
sisted of a predominately passing strategy, which
did not play into the Dogies' strengths.
"Defensively we held them to 60 or 70 yards
rushing, but that doesn't matter when they're
airing it out against us," Conzelman stated.
Despite what the scoreboard showed at the
end of the contest, there were some bright spots
during the game. In particular, junior Triston
Roberson played well in several aspects of the
game, according to Conzelman.
"He played tight end in the first half and then
we moved him back to the quarterback position
in the second. He got a lot of first downs and
moved the sticks pretty well, but we just couldn't
punch it in to the end zone,"
Conzelman said, adding that Roberson and
Ricky Larson played really well on the defensive
side of the ball and that his line and linebackers
also performed well. Unfortunately, the squad
just couldn't make the plays they needed to on
offense.
Confidence is something that coaches are
hoping to instill in their team as they prepare for
the final game of the regular season this Friday.
"We have to leam how to play with urgency
this week because the season is on the line. The
winner on Friday goes to the playoffs and the
loser is done, so the guys need to go into this
game with confidence that they will be con-
tinuing into next week," Conzelman stated.
The Dogies should be entering this game
with a more positive attitude, given that the
Thermopolis Bobcats are in the same boat as
Newcastle. A loss for them will mean an end to
their season as well. With so much at stake, both
teams will undoubtedly be focused on getting
the win, but there are some indications that the
Dogies could be the team that gets it done
Thermopolis is more of a running team,
which Conzelman thinks should bode well for
the Dogies.
"If I had to choose, I'd rather defend a
running attack than a passing one right now. (
think we match up pretty well to them across the
board," Conzelman began. "But we need to strive
to be more physical than they are and more than
we have been lately, and we need to make plays.
It's going to come down to who wants it, who
makes the plays, who takes care of the ball, and
who can punch it in to the end zone."
Both teams are currently 2-3 in conference
play, and the winner of the game will enter into
playoffs as the four seed.
As this is the last home game of the season,
the seniors will be honored prior to the 6:00
p.m. kickoff, and Conzelman is hoping for a big
crowd to give the Dogies some added support.

their strongest events.
"We will enter our girls in
the two events that they have the
best chance of success, and the
races that they are most com-
petitive in," explained Scribner.
"We've been watching them all
over the last couple of weeks
and they are really starting to
blossom into their best events."
Among those that the
coaching staff has observed,
Curren is a freestyle swimmer
and that is really all she swims.
However, coaches note that
she's really started to race and
sprint so they are confident that
the 200 Free will be a good
event for her.
Waggener has been working
hard on the Butterfly and was
able to qualify in the 100 Fly,
so Scribner knows that her 200
IM is going to be great next
weekend.
Rachel Henkle, who had
demonstrated that she takes
to water much like a duck,
has been working on sprinting
the 50 Free and, according to
from page 11 ......................................................................
coaches, is doing really well in
that, so she will probably enter
the backstroke, the 50 free or
the 100 free at the Conference
Meet, but it will all depend on
how she is feeling.
Scribner noted that Henkle
is strong in all of her events
and she has recently been doing
great in the breaststroke, so it
will come down to whatever
she is going to feel most com-
petitive in on the day of the
meet.
The squad must travel to
Cody for the Conference Meet
this weekend, and Scribner
admitted that, as a team, he
knows that the Lady Dogies will
struggle due_ to low numbers.
However, he is confident that
individually his ladies will do
well.
"My focus for them is to
get as high a team score as
possible, so they need to place
as high as they can, and I want
them to come off this meet
feeling confident for State,"
Scribner noted.
