Rise up five
Posted by: Patrick Schmiedt on September 24, 2008 at 1:14AM EST

You know how we do. This week's 5:

1. Gillette golf: The Camels won the girls' team title and finished second in the boys' division at the Casper Invitational last week -- not a bad little roll to start the week before state.

2. Lyman volleyball: We see ya there, Eagles. Lyman finished third at its host tournament, but watch out -- the Eagles have been consistently pesky all season and could be a scary team come late October.

3. Cokeville volleyball: Speaking of volleyball tournaments, check out the Panthers. They won the Thermopolis Invitational, beating some much bigger schools (Cody in the championship and Powell in pool play) in the process. Then again, it's not all that surprising. Cokeville seems to do this every year.

4. Gillette girls swimming: OK, one more quick trip up to Campbell County, because I've got to give a quick shout-out to the Camels' swimmers. Really, think about this: It's not all that often you see a team more than double up the second-place team in a nine-team meet, but that's exactly what the Camels did at the Riverton Invitational. In fact, the rest of the field couldn't even double up the Camels -- the eight other teams scored 766 points combined; Gillette scored 443 all on their own. I don't care who you are, that's impressive right there.

5. Lovell football: I knew it was only a matter of time. The Bulldogs finally broke out big in a 30-point victory over Wright; Grant Geiser threw five TD passes to five different receivers. Yay, diversity!

That's it for now. Who else had a noteworthy weekend? Comment below.
