Lady Devils keep getting better

There are moments in time where teams are made. When individual athletes find the way to meld their talents together for the betterment of the group – to come together as a true team.

Noxon Lady Red Devil coach Cortney Vohs thinks her young team did just that in St. Regis last week, running past the Tigers 45-28. "We could not have played better, I am so proud of how the girls came together," she said. "We had much better ball movement on offense and played good team defense. It was a good team game for us."

One of the leading scorers in District 14C this season as a freshman, Avery Burgess netted 21 points to lead Noxon's win, Chelsea Vohs added eight, Jaedyn Murray, Emily Brown and Vanessa Horner four each and Riley Richter and Mia Vogel two apiece.

Richter cleared a team-high 10 rebounds, Vohs had three steals and Burgess added eight rebounds, five assists and three steals.

Coach Vohs felt her Lady Devils also played well against Charlo in Noxon Saturday as the unbeaten, No. 4 ranked-in-the-state Vikings topped the Devils 52-24.

"I am going to count that as a win, we played so much better than we did up in Charlo," she said. "We have narrowed the gap and should only get better from here on out."

Burgess scored 12 points to lead Noxon and Richter and Horner added two each. Playing high school ball for the first time, eighth graders Amari Printz-Hay and Maygen Swanson two apiece.

Connor Fryberger and Carlee Fryberger led 14-0 Charlo with 13 and 12 points each respectively.

This week, the Devils were to have played at Troy in a makeup game from December Tuesday (results were not available) and will visit Hot Springs Saturday.
