The Shields Valley Rebels have a new coach for the 2015 season, but it
will be a familiar face greeting the Rebel players as four-year assistant
Laura Homan, who worked with previous head coach Callee Peebles, is
now taking over the Shields Valley program.
Homan is taking the reigns of her own alma mater after playing for the
Rebels from 2004-07, but that wasnt always the plan.
I went to cosmetology school, and then I ended up getting a job in
Clyde Park, Homan said. It happened to work out that the next year a
coaching position opened up. I had gone to school with Callee, and she got
in contact with me (about an assistant coaching job) I said yes, and Im
glad I did. I love the game, and it has been a joy to coach. It is a great field
to be in.
The familiarity between Homan and the players has helped with the
transition that normally happens when a new coach comes in, and has
allowed the Rebels to focus more on volleyball.
It definitely makes it a lot easier, said Homan. Youre not spending
the first two to three weeks trying to feel each other out and figure out
what works and what doesnt. I have that heads up going into it knowing
how hard I can push the girls instead of trying to figure out names and
who is who.
There will be some changes on the court for the Rebels this year due to
such a large turnover after six girls graduated from last years team.
Shields Valley has a strong senior presence again this year, but only one
junior, seven sophomores and two freshmen.
A lot of the girls are going to be in different positions, Homan said.
We possibly could run more of a 6-2 where we are used to running a 5-1.
Were still in the transition mode of seeing what will work. They have the
challenge of trying something new and different.
The Rebels will travel to the Drummond Tournament this Friday, Aug.
29, and their first home match will be Friday, Sept. 4 against West Yellowstone.

quarterback position, there will be some changes to the Shields Valley offense this season.
Were not going to have the same passing
threat that we had last year with Thad and
Ryley, Croston said. So were going to have
more opportunity at quarterback to do some
more running attacks and sprint-out type stuff.
One worry for the Rebels this season is a lack
of numbers. While their is plenty of talent on
the team, Shields Valley will be even less prepared for injuries than most Class C schools,
which already struggle because of size.
The numbers seem to be down, said Croston.
It was surprising to me. We have probably
30-plus boys in the high school, and really about
a third or less came out for football this year.
Its been a struggle from a numbers perspective.

The Big Timber cross country team has an interesting mix of veteran and
inexperienced runners as the Herders gear up for the 2015 season.
Six girls and four boys make up the 10-member cross country team. The Big
Timber boys feature two returning sophomore runners in Brandon Schwers
and Clayton Gano.
The boys will also have some new blood this season as they welcome freshmen John Baxter and Jacob Husman.
The Big Timber girls also have two returning junior runners. Tanna Campbell and Jordan Chulyak will lead the Herders this season, with fellow junior
Kate Indreland back on the team after not running her sophomore season.
The Herders have three new girls on the team, as well, but all are upper
classmen. Emily Hughes and Brielle Stosich are two new juniors, and Megan
Garrard is new to the team as a senior.
Head coach Christina Bowden sees her team as poised to make big gains
throughout this season.
A big goal is to increase our weekly mileage from last year, when everyone
was new on the team, Bowden said. But the maingoal is alwaysto see where
they stand at their first race and improve immensely throughout the season.
Im looking forward to seeingsophomoresBrandon Schwers and Clayton
Gano meeting and even besting our lettering requirements this year.Also,
having enough girls to earn a team score is a revived motivator for the Herder girls and a great focus for them at meets.
The Herders put in plenty of work during the offseason, going on twice
weekly conditioning runs, and now they are ready to put that training to the
test in their first meet of the season this Friday in Livingston.
The meet begins at 10 a.m., and Bowden is excited to see what her team can
do.
The SGHS XC teamis full of standouts as far as motivated, coachable athletes, she said. They are eager to get out there, work hard and improve their
times and fitness. It is a dream team.
The Park High Ranger cross country team will start the season in familiar
territory as they host the Ranger Invite on Friday, Aug. 28 to start the season.
Park has 12 runners total between the boys and girls teams this season, led
by veterans Dan Miller and Devin Nelson on the boys side, and Larissa Saarel
for the girls.
The Ranger cross country team has been preparing all summer for this season.
I did my best to get them to run over the summer; we did our usual summer running club, said head coach Kirk Lentz. They log their miles, and if
they run over 100 miles over the summer, they get recognition for that. In
addition to that, we tried to have one weekly event, usually on a Saturday or
Sunday, and we would meet someplace and go for a run.
Those that ran 100 miles are going to reap the benefits as the season progresses, Lentz added.
Miller and Nelson ended last season with the top times on the team, and both
are ready for another year.
While the individual results of runners are important, there is a team aspect
of cross country that is often times overlooked.
Cross country is definitely a team sport, said Lentz. Cross country is
probably one of the most misunderstood sports. As much as it can be and is an
individual sport in the sense of focusing on improving your own personal
times, there are a ton of team aspects to cross country. Because without five
runners that finish that race, youre nothing as a school youve just got a
couple of individuals out there running, hoping to do their best. So there are a
lot of team aspects like running together and pulling each other along during a race.
After the Rangers host the first meet of the season, they will have eight
more meets the rest of the season, including a trip to Bozeman on Sept. 12 and
to Big Timber on Oct. 3.

season, as well.
One problem that Big Timber could encounter
this season is size, or lack thereof.
Were not very big, Bell said. Were having to
do some things to try to overcome that size difference like teach our technique well.
One way the Herders hope to overcome the size
difference is by knowing their assignments as
well as possible.
We havent changed that much offensively or
defensively from last year, we are just trying to
do it better, said Bell.
Big Timbers first game of the season is this Friday at home at 7 p.m. against Whitehall. The
Herders homecoming game will be Sept. 11 versus Manhattan, and the teams final home game
will serve as Senior Night on Oct. 23 against Red

Rangers hope
experience pays
off at State
By Thomas Watson
Of the Rangers eight varsity golfers five boys and three girls
seven of the eight competed on the varsity level last season, and
the eighth competed in a single varsity tournament last season.
Going into this season, the golfers knew that competition was
going to be tight, said head coach Jim Halberg of the intra-team
battles each week at practice. Nobody can sit back and relax and
assume that they are going to be the No. 1 player or that they are
going to be on varsity all year. There is a lot of competition there,
and the boys have taken that to heart. They are working hard to
compete individually, but they also know that as a team, we have
some pretty lofty goals this year. They know the individual competition is going to make the team stronger as the year goes on.
After practicing all offseason on mechanics to improve their
game, the Rangers preparation during the season is more mental
than anything else.
It really comes down to motivation, setting goals and doing what
we can mentally to prepare ourselves for tournaments, Halberg
said. We have talked about if you have a bad hole, you cant let
that affect the next hole. Even more specifically, if you have a bad
shot, you cant let that carry over. Golf is a game where you have to
have a very short memory.
Halberg is hoping that focusing on the mental side of the game
will help in improving the teams finish at the state tournament.
Last year the boys went to state, said Halberg. We strongly
feel like we can repeat going to state, and we want to improve on
our performance at state. We didnt have any all-state individuals
last year. I think all five of our varsity golfers have the potential to
receive all-state honors. The hard part about golf is that no matter
how long youve played, you never know what is going to show up
that day. But if we end up playing solid golf at state, there is no reason why we shouldnt finish in the top three (as a team), and of
course the potential is there that we could win state. That is something we have talked about. It is a lofty goal, but I feel like it is a
reachable goal.
