The Wyoming Indian Chiefs basketball team continued their dominant run through the Southwest 2-A conference, routing Kemmerer 84-52 on Saturday afternoon. The Chiefs jumped out to a 38-10 lead in the first quarter and never looked back, leading by 29 points at halftime. Senior Heeyei'Niitou Monroe-Black led the way with 25 points, including four 3-pointers, as the Chiefs improved to 5-0 in league play.
Why it matters
The Chiefs' lopsided victory over Kemmerer keeps them in first place in the Southwest 2-A standings and on track to win the conference title. With just one league game remaining, the Chiefs have established themselves as the team to beat in the region heading into the postseason.
The details
The Chiefs came out firing on all cylinders, pouring in 38 first-quarter points led by Monroe-Black's hot shooting from beyond the arc. Adriano Brown and Mitchell C'Hair also made key contributions in the paint. While Kemmerer kept their starters in the game, the Chiefs' reserves saw significant playing time in the second half as the running clock was instituted early in the third quarter due to the large lead.
- The Chiefs hit 90 points against Big Piney on Friday at home.
- The Chiefs have just Wind River remaining on their conference schedule next Thursday at home.

— Randy Tucker (county10.com)
