— Hannah Moore canned a 3-point shot late in the Steam­boat Springs High School girls basketball team’s game at Delta on Friday, giving her team a 45-44 victory and keeping the squad perfect in league play.

That the team even needed her heroics came as a bit of a surprise after Steamboat led by 10 points at halftime.

“It was up down and all around the whole game,” Sailors coach John Ameen said. “We came out real strong, but we didn’t shoot well from the line. We compounded that by not taking care of things at the defensive end.”



Colleen King finished with 19 points. Moore had 12.

Hayden boys basketball falls to Meeker squad

The Hayden boys basketball team came up short in its bid to knock off league-leading Meeker on Friday night. The Tigers lost, 64-54.

“It was close throughout the ballgame,” coach Mike Luppes said. “We solidly out rebounded them. That was one key, but turnovers were a big difference in the game.”

Graig Medvesk led the Tigers with 18 points. Raul Valdez had 14 points and nine rebounds, and Rene Valdez scored eight points and had 12 boards.

Hayden, 7-4, plays at 3:30 p.m. today at De Beque.
