WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS – Bus legs may have initially overcome
the Lone Peak volleyball team on Oct. 4 as they traveled to face White Sulphur
Springs. The Lady Big Horns found themselves trailing the Hornets two sets to
none right out of the gate. But Lone Peak battled back and was able to pull off
the come-from-behind victory, winning the final three sets of the match.
Lone Peak Head Coach Missy Botha noted that her team took some time to settle in, “We found ourselves down the first two sets. Then all of a sudden, they woke up and realized they’ve got to start playing some volleyball. Going into the third, they dug deep, took care of their fundamentals, and won a pretty tight set.”
White Sulphur Springs took the first two sets by scores of
25-18 and 25-19. Lone Peak took control of the match from there and won the
final three 25-22, 25-14, and 15-13 respectively, to complete the comeback.
“Sometimes they get out there and they maybe try a little too hard. But then
they need to realize that they just need to relax and play their game.” Botha
said. “I usually try to tell them the net is the same height, the ball is the
same size, there’s nothing different, [just] play the ball.”
Leading the way offensively for the Lady Big Horns once
again was senior Dounia Metje who had a team high nine kills and six aces.
Junior Ivy Hicks had all but one of the LPHS assists—finishing the contest with
27. Defensively, senior Madi Rager and freshman Maddie Cone had two blocks
apiece for Lone Peak, while junior Chloe Hammond led the team with 17 digs.
The following day the Lady Big Horns competed in the
Manhattan Christian Invitational tournament. The exhibition contests did not
count towards the teams’ overall season record, but they fought hard winning
three games and losing another three. They faced familiar foes such as Gardiner
and Shields Valley along with some strong class-B opponents.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
