    North swamps boys WCA All-Star Game – Romero leads county contingent with 19 points

    The North All-Stars under head coach Kyle Miller of Dubois made short work of the South All-Stars via a palindrome style score of 96-69 in the Wyoming Coaches Association Boys Basketball All-Star game at Casper College last Saturday.

    A pair of Fremont County girls played in the girl’s version of the North/South All-Star rivalry as well. Wyoming Indian’s Dezireen C’Hair played for the South while Lander guard Ryan Bell played for the North.

    In addition to Miller, Fremont County was well represented with five players, four on the north on one on the south team.

    Wind River’s two-time all-state guard Chaumbrey Romero put on a shooting exhibition hitting 5 3-pointers to finish second in scoring behind 25 points from Luca Brooks of Class 1-A State Champion Upton.

    Point guard Tisso Guina of Lander tallied four points but played suppression-style man-to-man defense and dished the ball well in transition.

    “It was so much fun, we had a sweet roster,” Miller said. “I probably had the best four guards on the floor.”

    A pair of Fremont County big men, 6-5 Cody Wright of Dubois and 6-6 Lucas Engle of Riverton finished with 12 and 13 points respectively. In the second half, they dominated the defensive boards as well.

    Vidale C’Bearing of Wyoming Indian played for the south team under retiring Cheyenne Central head coach Tag Lain, playing four quarters but not scoring.

    The North jumped ahead 24-14 after the opening period behind a dozen quick points for the Rocky Mountain College-bound Brook. Guina and Wright added four each and the north never looked back, though the south played even in the second period with a good effort to get second shots.

    “We stood around a little in the first half, but in the third quarter they stepped up on the boards, it was a cakewalk,” Miller said of his big men.

    The experience was a good one for Miller as well as the boys. Coaching at your local high school doesn’t always get the attention you need to compete during time-outs and at practice, but the all-star setting was different.

    “We talked about being coachable, and every single kid was locked in and staring at you, listening to what you say, it was nice,” Miller said.

    With just a week-and-a-half of practice, it’s sometimes difficult to get a team to play well together but the north didn’t have any problems.

    “One of my fortes is to get kids camaraderie quick,” Miller said. “With seven practices they had fun, bonded, and worked well off each other.”
