Lady I-lig :limbers close out winless, ready for next season By DEAN SIEMON While the 2010-11 season for Shelton High School girls basketball was one to forget, head coach Nigel Warren re- mains optimistic for the fu- ture of the program. "It's tough but this isn't how it's going to be every year," Warren said. "Give me a couple more years and we're going to change the face of Shelton basketball." In his first season as the Lady Highclimbers coach, Warren's squad finished the season with an overall re- cord of 0-20 and 0-14 in the 4A Narrows League. Shel- ton was one of three winless teams in the 4A classifica- tion with Rogers (Spokane) High School and Eisenhow- er High School. Warren said that enter- ing this season, the expecta- tions were that it was going to be an up and down season with players and coaches trying to understand each other. "I see a lot of kids finally coming together," Warren said. "It took us a while to get used to each other 'and gel." Warren said while there were no wins on the team's record, the team doesn't feel like they were winless with their efforts. "When you've got kids that are trying to compete as hard as they can, that's a win," Warren said. "We didn't once came out and gave up, no matter what we were down by." The season concluded at home on February 9 against Olympia High School (9-10, 7-7 Narrows League) in a 50-17 loss. After trailing 19-0 in the first quarter, Warren said the_ Lady Highclimber de- fense played better the rest of the game, allowing eight points in the second quarter and 10 points in the fourth. Offense was a big con- cern throughout the season, as the Lady Highclimbers had 11 games scoring less than 30 points - five of those games, Shelton had less than 20 points. Shelton averaged 27.05 points per game while al- lowing more than 61 points Journal photo by Dean Siemon Shelton High School's Clara Robbins, shown from a game earlier this season, is considered one of the potential leaders of next season's girls basketball team. per game. "We played some good defense," Warren said. "We just couldn't put the ball in the basket." Junior Kandyce Bragg led the team with five points, including a three- pointer from the top of the arc. Warren said Bragg has improved on offense this season. "I think she's going to come out shooting next year," Warren said. With six seniors leav- ing for graduation, Warren said the star senior was Mi- randa Graden, who may not have been expected to play as well as she did at the be- ginning of the season. "No matter what I asked her to do, she would do it. No questions asked," War- ren said. "Having that type of player and athlete-stu- dent was just phenominal for me." Warren said he had the opportunity to coach a great class of seniors that also included Madison Gaa, Kristy Lee Nahley, Jackie Gable and Becca Huisman. "I wish I had these girls another year," he said. "I feel we could accomplish more than we have." Looking ahead, War- ren said junior Jordanne Krumpols (nicknamed lieu- tenant) is the most likely to take over as the leader of the team next season. "She's the same type of player as Miranda [Graden]," Warren said. "You don't see it as much, but I would say she is a leader of the team now." But Warren said the point guard position would be between Krumpols and junior Clara Robbins (nick- named general). Two other returning players include freshman Jaycee Kingery and junior Heather Sawyer, who are both six-feet tall. "We come back with two big post players," War- ren said. "I'm sad I lost six seniors but I don't think It's going to impact us too much." Warren said the return- ing players are prepared to work on their game tempo, shooting and ball han- dling during the offseason in preparation of the first practice of next season. "I think that we can win some basketball games next year," he said.
