The Roaring Fork boys and girls basketball teams were the first to open post-holiday play among area teams, traveling to the Friday-Saturday Wolf Creek Classic tournament in Pagosa Springs.<\/p>\n

The girls, playing under first-year head coach Juan Quintero, got off to a good start on the new year Friday, defeating Colorado Springs Christian 41-27, outscoring the Lions in each of the four quarters.<\/p>\n

Junior Maya Lindgren led the Rams in scoring with 14 points, and senior Emily Broadhurst added 8 points.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s match-up proved to be more challenging for the Rams, as they fell to the Eaton Reds, 43-41.<\/p>\n

Up 26-23 at halftime against Eaton, Roaring Fork saw the lead erased in the third quarter when the Reds outscored the Rams 14-8. The Rams had the 7-6 scoring edge in the fourth, but it wasn\u2019t enough to overcome the deficit.<\/p>\n

Lindgren again led the team with 12 points, and Broadhurst had 9.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team played hard and our defense was great all weekend,\u201d Quintero said. \u201cThe team looks very prepared in time to start league play.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rams stand at 6-4 on the season, and open the 3A Western Slope League schedule Jan. 17 at home against Delta. Tip-off will be at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Struggles continue for RF boys<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Also playing Colorado Springs Christian and Eaton, the Roaring Fork boys came away from the road trip with two more losses by scores of 67-47 and 59-44, respectively.<\/p>\n

Graham Pietch led the team in scoring Saturday with 11 points, while Cesar Torres chipped in 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are playing hard but we continue to make the same mistakes,\u201d first-year head coach Tony Gross said of his now 1-9 team. \u201cI love their effort, but we just have to play a little smarter and value each possession a little more.\u201d <\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe are ready for a home game. We have not had one since the first part of December\u201d when the Rams hosted the annual Brenda Patch tournament.<\/p>\n

The Rams open the 3A Western Slope League schedule at home Friday, Jan. 10 versus Gunnison, with tip-off at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
