Women’s basketball opens season with Shootout

Rangely seniors Myriah Moreno, Kelsey Prosser, Quincey Thacker, Brittany Babineaux, with Leslie Hernandez and Shelby Neiberger in front, will have a first round bye and will play in the semifinal game of the White River Electric Cowboy Shootout Friday at 6 p.m. against the winner of Soroco vs. Hayden.
RANGELY I The lady Panther basketball team will open the season with a first round bye in the 2012 White River Electric Cowboy Shootout in Meeker and will play the winner of Soroco and Hayden in the semifinal round Friday at 5:30 p.m.
Quintin Kent will take over the head coaching duties this year after assisting coach Jimmie Mergelman the past three years.
“This is something I’ve always wanted to do and I’m excited about the opportunity,” Kent said about being a head coach.
“We have a good bunch of kids that work hard and have a lot of potential, we just need to find a way to reach it,” Kent said. “I’m really excited about our senior leadership.”
Rangely only graduated one senior (Haeley Enterline) from last year’s team and this year they will be led by six seniors including Brittany Babineaux, Quincey Thacker, Kelsey Prosser, Leslie Hernandez, Myriah Moreno and Shelby Neiberger.
Kent said 17 players are out for the team and he will be assisted by former Rangely coach Kurt Douglas, who is Kent’s father-in-law.
“Believe it or not, I’m excited about my father-in-law coming back to help,” Kent said. “He brings 30 years of experience with him.”
The lady Panthers finished third in the league last year and Kent expects the league competition to be good again this year.
“It’s pretty open, much like it is every year, with Paonia, Meeker, Vail Christian and Soroco all having good programs,” Kent said. “Really it’s anybody’s game, it just depends on who comes out with the best game plan and who executes the best.”
Rangely, Soroco, Hayden, Little Snake River of Baggs, Wyo., Nucla and Meeker will make up the bracket of the White River Electric Cowboy Shootout this weekend. Rangely’s JV team will play in the JV bracket.
“I’m excited to see what we have,” Kent said of the first game of the season, which will be Friday at 6 p.m., in Meeker.

  • Mormon crickets have hatched near Rangely. They were all sighted on BLM land north of Hwy. 64 near the junction of CR 96 and CR 1, down a dirt road near the Moffat County line.  The picture shown was taken yesterday by Mary Meinen from Rangely. She says the crickets are about the size of a ladybug (less than 1/2”). Some of them are actually yellow in color but most of them are darker. They are milling around and getting ready to start moving soon. Note: Photo is not to scale.
Rio Blanco County and the White River and Douglas Creek Conservation Districts are still asking for your help to identify additional hatch-outs of crickets so that control efforts can be put in place. The success of the program will highly depend upon local landowners and the public helping to locate crickets as soon as they hatch.  See last week’s paper for a list of ways to help or contact the County Weed & Pest District at 970-878-9670 or the Conservation District office at 970-878-9838 with any questions.
