Cole Camp Bluebird Girls and Boys Basketball: The Lady Bluebirds were on the court at 6 p.m. on Dec. 12th facing the Lady Tigers. Versailles had a size advantage, mainly 6' 2" Kylee Richey. Well known for her volleyball accomplishments, she decided to play basketball this year after sitting out last year. Richey scored 8 of their 16 in the first qtr. Kaitlyn Whitworth a basket early and Leah Allison a 3 late accounted for Cole Camps' 5 in the first period.
Whitworth opened the 2nd with another basket. Freshman Allison showed some courage competing with Richey for rebounds. Payten Shoemaker with a two mid qtr followed by 4 from Marilyn Hesse. Later a long range 3 from Shoemaker brought Cole Camp within 8. However Versailles still led 28-16 at halftime.
MacKenzie Moellman the only basket in the 3rd qtr for Cole Camp. Versailles could just throw the ball up towards Richey and most of the time she caught it. But not always! On two distinct plays, Hesse got in front of Richey and jumped up high enough to steal the incoming ball. Good work! Versailles still ahead 39-18 after 3.
Last qtr mostly same as previous three. Maddie Flores dropped in a free throw late for the last score of the game. Versailles 48, Cole Camp 23.
Scoring: Whitworth 6, Shoemaker 5, Moellman 4, Hesse 4, Allison 3, Florez 1. Richey with 13 leading 9 Versailles players in scoring. Allison 6 rebounds, Thayer 5. Hesse 4 steals.
Varsity Boys next on court and a good effort from Kolton Phillips early. He scored 4 and denied a Versailles player a possible dunk on a breakaway. Versailles whistled for several fouls and Cole Camp made 6 of 8 freethrows. Still Versailles netted four 3's to lead 18-10 after 1.
Likely one of their better efforts so far for the varsity boys in the 2nd qtr. Kolby Bohon connected from downtown, Colton Dieckman scored 6 with 8-10 ft jump shots, then added a pair of free throws. Dasch Kaiser, Blake Abey and Connor Petersen all pitched in 2. Halftime score was Versailles 32, Cole Camp 28.
Only down by 4 at half, but how quickly the scenery changed in the 3rd. With a mix of 2's and 3's, the Tigers scored the first 22 of the qtr. Their defense caused several turnovers and so they led 58-32 after 3.
Bohon added 4 in the last qtr. Brett Burdick made two free throws and Spencer Godwin a fieldgoal. Final score of Versailles 68, Cole Camp 42.
Scoring: Bohon 11, Dieckman 10, Phillips 5, Petersen 4, Clark 3, Abey 3, Godwin 2, Kaiser 2, Burdick 2. Cole Camp made 15 of 20 freethrows. Reese Murdock had 24 for the Tigers. Thank you to Aurthur Keuper for this article!!!
