How are those RMC (Billings) ladies doing? Rocky MountainCollege Sports Information Director Brandon Stinson has been exceptionally good about sending info to the DC Leader Honestly, we don’t print all of it but we print enough of it. His latest “transmission” to the Leader packed its greatest punch of the young season. For instance, through seven games 5-foot-5 guard Gracee Lekvold (SHS ‘21) was averaging 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 35.7 minutes in six games, starting all of them. Seven-point-5 rebounds per game from someone who is 5-foot-5? What a scrapper! That’s extraordinary! Sydney Dethman, a 6-foot-3 senior forward who played for the Froid-Lake Redhawks and Fresno State), is averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists for RMC. Paige Wasson from Whitewater, a 5-11 freshman, is averaging 10.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists. Three East C Division young ladies getting it done at the college level for the Battlin’ Bears! MISCELLANEOUS — Meet the new East C Division: At its November 25 meeting the Montana High School Association’s Executive Board approved a proposal for realignment for Class C basketball, volleyball and track/field, and to say the least, it’s quite interesting.
