BIG
SKY – Temperatures outside the Bough-Dolan Athletic Center hovered around
freezing Saturday evening, but inside the Lone Peak volleyball team was red
hot, defeating Shields Valley in three straight sets.
Lone
Peak set the tone early, winning the first set 25-19 and never trailing by more
than two points. The second set was more of the same as the Lady Big Horns
broke an early 3-3 tie and led for the remainder of the set en route to a 25-17
victory.
Things got interesting in the third set as Lone Peak took a 9-3 advantage out of the gate. It seemed as though the Lady Big Horns would run away with the match until the Rebels mounted a gritty comeback. Shields Valley had a 4-point lead late and even had an opportunity at set point three times. Lone Peak was able to stave off the threat, however, and came out on top 28-26 capping off the victory.
Lone
Peak senior captain Dounia Metje was a force for the Lady Big Horns, both at
the net and serving the ball. She compiled a match-high four aces and two
blocks. Sophomore TJ Nordahl led the Lady Big Horns in scoring with seven kills
and junior libero Chloe Hammond made her mark defensively with five digs.
On
the opposing side, seniors Tori Johnson and Karlee Worthington had five kills
apiece for the Rebels. Senior libero Rane Sager had a match-high 10 digs, while
Johnson and sophomore Perry Dominick each chipped in a block for Shields
Valley.
Collectively the Lady Big Horns outpaced the Rebels in nearly every statistical category with the edge in kills, blocks and aces. Shields Valley won the dig battle however, 31 to 16.
Lone
Peak Head Coach Missy Botha applauded her team’s focus. “I was impressed with
the way they came back even though they lost the lead,” Botha said. “[They] had
three set points against them, [but] were able to come back and win the last set.”
The Lady Big Horns are back in action Oct. 4 when they travel to play White Sulphur Springs.

Event Details
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.
