Love in the air for sports

Basketball teams in last month of regular season, baseball, softball seasons heating up

Love is in the air as Valentines Day is just around the corner and what that means is that the love of Cougar sports is heating up with four teams in their active season.

The basketball teams have five more home games left in the season with up to three road games.

While the basketball teams are wrapping up their regular seasons to prepare for the regional tournaments that begin in March, the baseball and softball teams are also heating up.

The basketball team’s five home games remaining starts this weekend when the Cougars host Otero College on Friday and Trinidad State College

on Saturday (February 10 and 11) inn key South Sub-Region contests.

After that, the next home games will be Thursday, February 16 when Lamar Community College comest calling and then Saturday, February 18 when McCook comes for an after contest.

The last regular season home game is different from the original schedule as a conflict with some other teams caused the Cougars to move the Northeastern Junior College game from February 21 to Saturday, February 25. Those Saturday contests will begin at 5 p.m. for the women and 7 p.m. for the men.

Just how important are these

sub-region contests? Well, these home games will determine the tournament seeds and for the Cougar women, if they win the South Sub-region, they will host the Region IX tournament March 9-11.

Right now they are tied with Otero in losses. Otero is 5-1 as of February 8 while the Cougars are 3-1. Right behind these two teams are McCook and Trinidad at 3-2. Trinidad State handed the Cougars their only defeat while WNCC defeated Otero.

As for the men’s standings, the Cougar men are fighting to host a first-round playoff game on March 4 and right now they are in line to do just that.

Trinidad is in control of the South Sub-region men’s standings with a 6-0 record. After that, it is log jammed as

WNCC is second with a 3-2 sub-region record followed by Otero at 4-3, NJC at 3-3, Lamar and McCook each at 2-4, and North Platte at 1-5.

WNCC‘s only defeats in the sub-region came to Trinidad and Lamar.

The men’s tournament will be held at that winner of the North Sub-region and right now that is up for grabs as three teams are within a game of each other that honor. Northwest College leads the North with a 4-0 record followed by Casper and Laramie County at 3-1.

While the basketball teams are nearing the end of their regular season, the seasons are just beginning for the baseball and softball teams.

Both teams will have stiff opening weekends.

The baseball team opens up February 10 and 11 when they travel to 8-0 New Mexico Military Institute followed by a trip to Barton Community College the following weekend.

The first home games for the baseball team are slated for Saturday and Sunday, February 25 and 26 when Miles Community College come to town.

As for the softball team, they will get their season going on Friday, February 17 when they face Temple College and Cisco College followed by games with Coastal Bend College and Western Oklahoma State College on February 18. The Cougars will wrap up the Texas trip on February 19 with a doubleheader with Odessa College.

The Cougars will then have a weekend tournament in Lamar, Colorado, March 2-4. After that, WNCC will have their first home contest of the season when they entertain Lamar Community College March 11 and 12.

Just as an added note, like every year, the baseball and softball schedules are not set in stone and there will be changes in dates, times, and locations depending on weather conditions through the season. Check wnccathletics.com for updated schedules.

Baseball team ready to begin season with southern road trips

Cougars hoping to claim Region IX title like in 2021

The Western Nebraska Community College baseball team is out to repeat what the team from two years ago did and that was win a Region IX championship.

Last season, the Cougars finished 21-33 and lost in the first-round of the playoffs to Trinidad State College. Two years earlier, the Cougars defeated Lamar Community College 12-10 in the semifinals by scoring eight runs in the ninth inning and then topped Southeast Community College 4-3 for the Region IX championship, the Cougars finished the season 26-29. This season, the outlook looks just as promising as that Region IX championship season in 2021.

“Right now it is a very good group of guys,” WNCC baseball coach Mike Jones, who is beginning his 22nd year at the helm. “We have been trying to get work down here in the winter time and it has

All in the Numbers

been a rough winter on us so far, but their attitudes are pretty good so we are looking forward to the season.”

WNCC will begin the season this weekend when they head to New Mexico to take on the New Mexico Military Institute in doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Jones said the team is looking forward to get the season started.

“The players are all excited to get started this week,” Jones said. “For us it will be important for us to just on the field and get some innings in and get everybody playing baseball again.”

When the Cougars play this weekend, it will be the first time the team has been on a baseball field since November because of the snowy conditions that the area has experienced since December. In the meantime, Jones said his team has been trying to throw outside in cleared parking lots.

“We haven’t gotten on the field at all,” Jones said. “We tried to play catch in some open lots here and there. This has been the most difficult winter since I have been here. But we make it work and eventually it will all melt and it will be great and

spring will show up at some point. We just need to stay focused on what we can control.”

Jones said New Mexico Military and Barton, who the Cougars play in two weeks, will be tests for his team. New Mexico Military is 8-0 on the season as they topped two Region IX teams the past two weekends. NMMI defeated Trinidad State January 28-29 in four games and then last weekend New Mexico Military bettered Otero College in four straight by scores of 16-10, 12-2, 23-11, and 14-8.

“We know they (New Mexico Military) will be a good team and they will be a challenge for us,” he said. “We have played them in the past and they have been very disciplined, structured, and under control. We expect the same from them this time around. Barton County the next weekend will be a team of good pitching and our offense will definitely get tested for the first two weekends.”

Jones said the pitching staff should be a strength this season with four returning pitchers from a year ago. He also said the offense will be scoring some runs, but it might not be in the form of home runs, but a lot of doubles and base hits.

“This team is a good mix of talented players,” Jones said. “I think our depth in our pitching staff is a strength for us. You are going to find, offensively, we will be able to score some runs. It won’t be necessarily a home run hitting team as much as a team that will hit a lot of doubles.

WNCC returns four pitchers from a year ago that got innings in. Those four include Grant DeClue of Littleton, Colorado, Wyatt Zsidisin of Longmont, Colorado, Thibault Mercadier of Rouen, France, and Archer Blumenschein of Sherwood Park, Alberta Canada.

The Cougars also have redshirt pitchers from last season that will be key this coming year. They include Hunter McCollum of Scottsbluff, Adrian Short of Berthoud, Colorado, and Myttchel Pollock of Wheatland, Wyoming. Short and McCollum pitched last summer for the Western Nebraska Pioneers summer collegiate league team in Gering that won the Independence League championship.

Other pitchers on the playing roster include Clayden Brandon, a freshman from

Utah, Valentin Blanc and Firmin Hassed, both freshmen from France, Bryce Peterson, a freshman from Brighton, Colorado, and Nicolas Tremblay, a freshman from Canada.

The position players also have a lot of returners. WNCC returns six players that saw at bats a season ago. The list includes one of the players in Region IX a year ago in Eli Hernandez, a 6-foot-1 infielder, outfielder, and pitcher from Ontario, California.

The other returning players include Joseph Toubeaux, an infielder from Rouen, France, Ethan Johnson, an infielder from Clark, Colorado, Dylan Howard, a catcher from London, Ontario, Canada, Drew Book, an utility player from Sterling, Col-

orado, and Max Adam, an outfielder from Montreal, Canada.

The freshmen position players on the squad include infielders Dylan Harris of Colorado, Roangeraud Fraai of Curacao, Shintaro Inoue of Japan, Ashton Ross of Westminster, Colorado, Tyler Easter of Utah, and Jacob Jackson of Utah.

The outfielders include Isaac Smith of Aurora, Colorado, Garrett Dodd of Laramie, Wyoming, and Alex Ainsworth of Conifer, Colorado.

After the next two weekends on the road, the Cougars are scheduled to host Miles Community College on February 25 and 26 at Cleveland Field. Of course, that is weather pending and the field conditions.

2023 WNCC Cougar Baseball Schedule

Softball team ready to open season in Texas

Western Nebraska Community College softball team will be beginning the season next week when they head to Texas for a 6-game series.

The Cougars have an experienced squad with just one true freshman in Devyin Priselac of Ft. Collins, Colorado.

The Cougars also have a red-shirt freshman in Baylie Krueger of Swink, Colorado. After that the team will have 12 sophomores of the 14 players on the roster.

Chloe Cronquist, a 3-year sophomore, said this team is excited to get the season started.

“We are excited to finally get to show off all our talents and how hard we have worked,” the sophomore from Blackfoot, Idaho, said. “We have good team chemistry and everyone is important to watch.”

The Cougars will open the season in sunny Texas February 17-19. The Cougars open the season on Friday when they face Temple College and Cisco College followed by games against Coastal Bend College and Western Oklahoma State College on Saturday. The Cougars will finish out the road trip with a double-header at Odessa College on Saturday.

After the opening weekend, the Cougars will next be in action March 2-4 at the Region IX Pod play in Lamar, Colorado, when they face all Region IX teams.

WNCC will then have their first home games of the season on March 11-12 when Lamar Community College comest to Volunteer Field.

This year’s team has a good nucleus of players with 13 of the 14 that saw junior college action a year ago. Sophomore Avery Fox, a sophomore from Scottsbluff, will be in her first year at WNCC after transferring from Northeastern Junior College.

The other 10 sophomores include the twins from Commerce City, Colorado, in DesaRae and DemiRae Woolsey, Arianah Plorin from Casper, Wyoming, Morgan Dustin of Springville, Utah, Maddie Johnston of Scottsbluff, Sianna Lewis and Erin Hurst of Las Vegas, Nevada, Caley Leslie of Prince George, British Colum-

bia, Victoria Wharton of Parker, Colorado, and Bree Hanson of Fielding, New Zealand.

Hanson is also a third-year player along with Cronquist because of the COVID pandemic.

Plus, with just 14 players, everyone will be counted on to play and Cronquist said this team has high expectations under first-year coach Courtney Medina.

“We have a very strong offense and defense,” Cronquist said. “I think we will go very far this year. We have such a good team dynamic.”

Medina who begins her first year as a head coach brings a strong winning attitude to the program. Medina won three Region IX titles with the Cougars during her playing and coaching days. When Medina was a player in 2015 and 2016, the team won two Region IX titles. As an assistant coach for the Cougars in 2019, WNCC also won regionals.

Medina said she is excited with what this team brings to the table.

“We are talented but what is special about this group is their work ethic and

their grit to get a job done and done well,” Medina said. “We have a tremendous amount of depth in just about every position. We have a very versatile pitching staff and all 3 of them work well with all 3 of our catchers so its nice to know that we have a team full of athletes that will play anywhere in order to do a job for their teammates. They are very selfless in that respect”

Medina added that the thing she likes about this team is a different person steps up each day, which showcases that talent on this year’s team.

“I think the best thing about this squad is that there is an opportunity to have a new hero every day, and each of them have different things that make them great and make us go, so it really just depends on the day, which I think is the best way to be,” Medina said. “I’d rather have a group of 14 that all have the opportunity to be the game changer than a large group with only a few key players.

With the depth and talent on the team, the Cougars will have three pitchers that will see the majority of the work in

DesaRae Woolsey, Fox, and Leslie.

Medina loves what the pitchers along with the other players are bringing to the team.

“We have DesaRae Woolsey, Caley Leslie and Avery Fox and they all bring very different talents to the circle but complement each other very well,” Medina said. “I don’t think any of them are very similar and they all throw a different amount of pitches. They communicate really well and our catchers do a great job of calling for them and filling them with that confidence that is essential in the circle. They are a fun group to work with.”

The catchers on the team will be DemiRae Woolsey, Dustin, and Lewis.

The hardest thing the softball team had to deal with is the weather. The team hasn’t been able to practice on actual dirt and grass, but they have been finding ways to get practice time in.

“Well we haven’t been able to get outside at all this semester, we will do defensive drill work in the spaces that are available to us but nothing can simulate dirt and grass and getting to take live reps,” Medina said. “I will say that we have done a great job as a team of not allowing that to be an excuse or something to tamper with our confidence. We talk about controlling the controllables and doing the best with what we have to get 1% better than the day before, no matter the circumstances.”

Cronquist said that this team has a goal in mind and that is to capture a Region IX title.

“We want to win Region IX,” she said. “To do that we need to keep working hard as a team and keep getting better every day.”

Medina added it is vital that they work together as a unit to get the job done.

“The biggest key for us is to just work together as a cohesive unit and have everyone own their role and knowing that role is going to change game to game,” she said. “This group has a really good bond when it comes to how they interact on and off the field. We have good team chemistry and I think if we keep that at the forefront of what we are doing that can help make us very successful.”

WNCC will face several ranked teams throughout the year including the opening weekend when they battle with Odessa, who is pre-season ranked third in the country after a 45-3 regular season a year ago.

Over spring break, the Cougars will also face pre-season ranked San Jacincto, who is No. 20.

Cronquist said they will enter the games focusing on themselves and they are not going to underestimate any team.

“We never underestimate the other teams,” she said. “We know how good we are and we just want to play our best.”

And, to win a regional title, it is going to take communication.

“We need to communicate and work through the hard situations,” Cronquist

said.

For Medina, she is proud of how this team has prepared for the coming season.

“This group has grinded since the day that they stepped on campus in the fall and we have worked hard physically at the game of softball but also on the mental side of the game, in the class room, at 6 a.m. conditioning and in the weight room, so I’m very excited to see what they can do this spring,” she said. “We have a great support system in our community, in our instructors that understand the struggles of being an outside sport in spring and helping to accommodate the girls with class work while on the road, our dorm families and everything in between. We are very lucky to have the support that we have, when the snow melts, we cannot wait to see everyone at the

Former Cougar Morehouse registers double-double for FGCU

Graduate guard Tishara Morehouse, who was a key player for the Cougars from 2018-20, scored 17 points and dealt 10 assists Thursday for her second straight double-double as No. 26 FGCU (23-3 overall, 11-1 ASUN Conference) routed Stetson 100-58 at Alico Arena.

Morehouse’s 10-assist performance was only the 15th time an Eagle dealt 10 or more assists in FGCU history, and her double-double with assists was only the sixth in the Green & Blue’s 21-year era. Morehouse went for 19 points and 10 assists last week in a 106-51 victory over North Florida.

The other three double-doubles with assists in school history are owned by Courtney Chihil (14 points, 12 assists vs. Indiana on Dec. 21, 2010), Lisa Zderadicka (15 points, 10 assists vs. North Florida on Jan. 19, 2019), graduate guard Emma List (11 points, 10 assists vs. Davidson on Nov. 29, 2020) and current FGCU assistant coach Shannon Murphy (11 points, 10 assists vs. USC Upstate on Feb. 28, 2011).

Morehouse, who is a fifth-year senior is having an outstanding season. She is on the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year Preseason Watch List as well as a preseason player of the year and First Team AllASUN candidate.

This season she is averaging 16.4 points a game and had 112 assists with 50 steals. She has made 55 3-pointers on the season. Her season high this season was 28 points on December 21 against Mercer, while getting the 10 assists on Wednesday against Stetson.

For her 3-year career at Florida Gulf Coast, Morehouse is averaging 16.2 points a game and had 149 treys, 369 assists, and 138 steals.

Florida Gulf Coast will next be in action Saturday when they travel to face Stetson followed by a home game with Lipscomb on February 16. All of Florida Gulf Coast’s games can be seen on ESPN+.
