After a tough 50-30 loss at 5A Grand Junction Central on Thursday, the Rifle girls basketball team had a chance at another 5A team from Mesa County at home Friday night.<\/p>\n

The outcome was much the same, as the visiting Tigers dominated from the start, opening a 22-8 halftime lead en route to the 45-24 win.<\/p>\n

\u201cJunction is a tough team, and they played well,\u201d Rifle coach Eric Caro said. \u201cCoach (Sam) Provenza does a great job.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur girls are still experiencing some growing pains, as this is only the second time we\u2019ve finished a game with a whole roster,\u201d Caro added, referencing some injury concerns for the Bears team. \u201cThey are working hard, but I have to push the right buttons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophomore Jamie Caron led the Bears with 9 points, while junior Mackenzie Elizardo had 5.<\/p>\n

Rifle (1-7 overall) travels to Montrose on Tuesday, before hosting rival Glenwood Springs to open the 4A Western Slope League schedule next Friday.<\/p>\n
