Wwith the first game of the night, the Steamboat girls had a rough go offensively, scoring below the team’s season average with just 18 points. The Bulldogs took command and maintained a lead, winning the game 56-18.
The girls team is now 6-16 on the year and remains winless in league play. The team will have one more opportunity to tally a league win this year.
The boys team also scored well below its season average but was able to stay strong defensively, winning the game 34-28.
The team improves to 16-6 on the year and maintains an impressive 12-1 record in league play, where it sits at the top of the 4A Western Slope League.
The Steamboat boys have suffered from injuries late in the year, and with one game left in the regular season, the team hopes to get healthy in time for playoffs.
