Basketball Recap: Wells Drops Season-High Score on McDermitt
Basketball Recap: Wells Leopards vs. McDermitt Bulldogs
By Team Reports
Feb 8, 2026, 9:26 pm
Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Wells). They breezed past the McDermitt Bulldogs to the tune of 69-41 on Saturday. The Leopards have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won 11 games by 22 points or more this season.
Khloe Del Rio had another great game (as she tends to do), putting up 13 points in addition to eight rebounds and five assists. Those five assists gave her a new career-high. Another player making a difference was Reese Livingstone, who posted 13 points and seven boards.
They weren't the only ones working in the assist department: Wells was working as a unit and finished the game with 20 assists. That's the most assists they've managed all season.
Loss or not, McDermitt got some senior leadership from Cierra Smart and Alexis Scott. Smart put up 18 points and six blocks, while Scott almost dropped a double-double with 13 points and nine rebounds. Scott has been hot, having posted nine or more boards the last eight times she's played.
The win (which was Wells' third in a row) raised their record to 17-6. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.7 points over those games. As for McDermitt, their defeat dropped their record down to 10-9.

Success is Cooking in the PAES Lab!
From Mrs. Shamblin
Our PAES Lab "employees" recently took their skills to the next level by launching a full-scale Concessions Business. This project moved beyond the classroom to teach our students the reality of working with the public, managing finances, and professional communication.
Our team prepared a delicious menu entirely from scratch, including freshly rolled breakfast burritos, baked goods, and a special Valentine’s Day Chex Mix. The work started long before the food was served; our students practiced professional outreach, making phone calls and meeting with managers to coordinate logistics. Every student participated, proving that teamwork is the secret ingredient to a successful business!
Innovation & Growth
The momentum hasn’t stopped there. Thanks to a recent grant, we’ve expanded into specialized trade skills with new leather tooling supplies. We are especially proud of student Olen M., who is showing incredible initiative. Olen already operates a business cleaning skulls, and he is now learning to integrate intricate leather tooling into his craft. Watching these students grow into successful, respectful, and skilled employees is truly the most satisfying part of the PAES Lab.
*A Heartfelt Thank You
This success was made possible by the incredible generosity of our community. We want to extend a huge Thank You to all the local businesses and individuals who donated to our program. Your contributions directly impact our students' ability to learn, create, and succeed.
*Support the Lab: If you would like to support our mission and donate to the PAES Lab, donations can be dropped off at Wells High School. Everything—from supplies to support—is greatly appreciated and helps us keep our "employees" working toward a bright future!
"A job is more than a paycheck; it’s the pride of creating something from scratch and the power of working as a team. You aren't just students—you are the professionals of tomorrow."
