Cole Camp was at Tipton High School February 27th for the semi-final round game of the Class 2 District 8 playoffs. The opponent was the host Tipton team with a record of 22-4.
Madilynn Ogle nailed a 3 at 6:18 of the opening qtr putting Cole Camp up 3-2. Tipton soon pulled ahead as expected, but for a few seconds, the scoreboard was friendly to look at.
With so many weapons, Tipton connected from long range, short range, layups and freethrows scoring the next 18. Junior Ava Schlotzhauer had 9 in the qtr and Tipton led 20-3.
Tipton added 27 in the second qtr with senior Charlee Bailey scoring 15 of those. Ogle hit another 3 at 2:41 and MacKenzie Moellman a basket at 1:55. Halftime score of Tipton 47, Colt Camp 8.
Leah Allison and Ogle with back to back 3's shortly after intermission. Kaitlyn Whitworth a fieldgoal mid qtr and Payten Shoemaker drained a 3 late. Score after 3 stood at Tipton 66, Cole Camp 19.
Still playing their starters in the last qtr, Tipton hit several 3-point shots. Moellman and Allison each with baskets for Cole Camp and Shoemaker made 2 of 2 freethrows. Those were the only 2 freethrows attempted by Cole Camp all game. Final score of Tipton 82, Cole Camp 25.
Scoring: Ogle 9, Shoemaker 5, Allison 5, Moellman 4, Whitworth 2. Schlotzhauer with 22, Clara Williams 20, Bailey 18 for Tipton. All that production with their 2nd leading scorer for the season sitting out due to injury recovery.
Even with the lopsided margin, the Lady Bluebirds maintained their composure and took the outcome with class. Good luck to Tipton as they move on to the next round. Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article.
Congratulations to Grant Rodriguez! He advances to the medal rounds! First medalist in program history!
Ziggy loses a tough match to end his season. Great efforts from all our Bluebirds!!
Cole Camp faced Windsor in a semi-final game played at 7:30 on February 26th. Having won 3 of their last 5, the Bluebirds were looking to build on a late season surge.
Unfortunately for the Blue crew, Windsor built a 7-2 lead by mid 1st qtr. Kolby Bohon accounting for Cole Camp's points with free throws. Blake Abey with the other basket in the qtr and Cole Camp trailed 4-10 after 1.
Colton Dieckman with 4 early second qtr. However the Greyhounds kind of broke the doors open on this game with a 9-0 run just past mid qtr. Windsor was up 26 - 14 at halftime.
The lead touched 18 early in the third before Kolton Phillips made a freethrow and Bovey Clark a 3. Cole Camp shots seem to bounce off the rim and not many rebounds by the Bluebirds. Dasch Kaiser with 3 of 4 freethrows and Phillips a nice rebound put back prior to the buzzer left the score 25-41 favoring Windsor after 3.
Ryan Millington added 4 to that for Windsor early 4th qtr. Down by 20, but the Bluebirds did not roll over! Dieckman scored 7, Bohon and Kaiser 2 each and the margin was down to 10 at 2:55 to go. Phillips a couple big steals in that run also. But that was as close as Cole Camp would get. Bohon hit a 3 at 41 seconds in his last game as a Bluebird. Final score of Windsor 54, Cole Camp 42.
Scoring: Dieckman 13, Bohon 7, Phillips 6, Clark 5, Abey 5, Kaiser 5, Petersen 1. Millington with 18 leading the Greyhounds. Phillips with 9 rebounds and 4 steals.
So another schedule has been completed and the Cole Camp record was 5 - 17. Admittingly a slim year but these team members made good progress during the season. This year's growing pains will likely lead to a much better outcome in the future!
Today's students will be our caretakers tomorrow, let's support each other! Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article!!

The Class 2 District 8 Girls basketball playoffs are taking place at Tipton High School starting February 25th at 4:30 p.m.. Tipton of course is #1, followed by New Franklin, Russellville, Eugene, Cole Camp, Slater and Smithton.
Cole Camp had 7 wins on the season, Eugene had 4 at the start of the game. Eugene is led by a scoring machine in sophomore Ryleigh Kliethermes. She is averaging nearly 24 points per game and needed just 1 point to hit 1000 in just her 2nd year.
Kliethermes got her 1000th with a 3 just over a minute into the game. But after trailing by 5, Cole Camp scored the next 10! MacKenzie Moellman with 3, Payten Shoemaker with a steal and layup, and Madilynn Ogle with a rebound put back and a long range 3. For the qtr, Shoemaker with 3 steals and a blocked shot. Yes perfect timing on her jump allowed the petite Shoemaker to foil an Eagles shot. Cole Camp up 10-7 after 1.
Cole Camp held a narrow lead till late 2nd qtr. Eugene put together a 10-1 run and so led 22-17 going into the locker room.
Emma Thayer and Marilyn Hesse with 3's after the break put Cole Camp back in the lead. Kliethermes with multiple drives to the basket, and finished most with scores. However Leah Allison countered with 4, and Ogle another 3. On a last second shot, Shoemaker was fouled and made 2 of 3 freethrows. This put Cole Camp ahead 32-31 after 3.
Back and forth in the 4th. Two huge 3's by Thayer mid qtr gave Cole Camp a 3-point lead. Another sophomore for Eugene, Claire Wilburs did some nice work near the basket scoring 6 in the qtr. Down by 3, Ogle hit a game saving 3 at 30 seconds and the Cole Camp defense denied Eugene a score, so regulation time ended at 43-43.
Just 24 hours earlier, the Bluebird boys pulled out an overtime win. Could the Ladies do the same? You bet they did! Trailing by 3 after 2 minutes of overtime, Allison nailed a 3 and then a steal to layup combo! Ogle made it a 4 point lead with a pair from the charity line at 55 seconds. Then by making 4 of 7 freethrows in the last 40 seconds, the Lady Bluebirds clinched a well-earned 54-47 District victory in overtime!
Scoring: Ogle 17, Allison 12, Thayer 9, Moellman 6, Shoemaker 6, Hesse 4. Kliethermes with 26 for Eugene. Rebounds Moellman 8, Allison 8, Ogle 6. Shoemaker 5 steals. Thank you to Arthur Keuper for writing this article.
