Captions<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> The Glenwood Springs girls\u2019 basketball team has made a late-season habit of starting out games at a snail\u2019s pace and then putting on second half surges with the swiftness of a thoroughbred coming down the home stretch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Friday night at the Chavez-Spencer Gymnasium, the Demons held true to their script by taking a scant 15-8 lead at intermission, and then shifting into high gear in the final 16 minutes to take a 42-29 win over the Lewis-Palmer Rangers in the second round of the state 4A basketball tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> \u201cWe had our typical slow start tonight,\u201d Demons senior guard Natalya Taylor, who led her team in scoring with 13 points, said. \u201cBut we always get some small things to go our way on the offensive and defensive end to give us the spark that we need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> After a sluggish first quarter by both teams, in which Glenwood held a 6-3 advantage, junior post Graci Dietrich helped to keep the Demons\u2019 head above water by hitting a free throw and canning two midrange jump shots. Taylor then scored on a drive along the baseline as both teams headed to the locker room searching for their offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> \u201cWe knew our offense would come around. We always work hard, and everything we do is for each other,\u201d Dietrich said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Right on cue, Taylor promptly hit a 3-pointer from the top of the circle to start the third period for Glenwood. Taylor followed that with an on-target jumper to push Glenwood\u2019s lead to 20-10 with 5:03 left in the quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Facing a big, physical, and at times overly aggressive Ranger front line, the Demons\u2019 Dietrich, Kate Shanahan, Qwynn Massie and Michelle Marshall did a workman-like job on the boards to limit Lewis-Palmer\u2019s offensive attempts on most possessions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> \u201cI like it when teams get physical,\u201d Marshall said. \u201cI just keep my focus and keep a good attitude. It seems to just make them angrier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> With the Demons finding their rhythm offensively, Massie buried a turnaround jump shot in the paint and junior guard Maddie Moser swished a 3-pointer. Marshall then snuck inside for a layup to put the Demons up 27-15 with one quarter left to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Following some successful trips to the foul line and two scores by L-P senior guard Ally DeLange, the Rangers had crept to within 27-21, forcing Glenwood head coach Rhonda Moser to use a timeout to gather her team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> With renewed focus, the Demons went on a mini 6-0 run following the talk with their coach. Dietrich dropped in two free throws and Marshall scored on a long assist from senior guard Hadley Yellico. Taylor then hit from the baseline on an off-balance jumper to put the Demons up 33-21.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Demons sophomore guard Kenzie Winder and Dietrich tied the ribbon on the Glenwood playoff win with fourth quarter baskets, as the Rangers could not mount a final charge at the opportunistic Demons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Taylor\u2019s 13 points were tops for Glenwood. Dietrich, Marshall and Winder had nine, eight and seven points, respectively, for the Demons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> Glenwood (21-3) now moves on to Tuesday\u2019s state round of 16 where the Demons will travel to face the No. 5 seeded Erie Tigers, who were 79-45 winners over Longmont on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\"> \u201cWe will have to put a full game together on Tuesday,\u201d coach Moser said. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to shoot the ball better, but I know these girls will stay focused and be prepared for what\u2019s ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In other girls 4A state playoff action Friday night, No. 11 Sierra ended the season of the No. 43 Rifle Lady Bears on the road by a final score of 65-33.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/preps\/its-on-to-the-sweet-16-for-glenwood-lady-demons-after-42-29-win-over-lewis-palmer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Glenwood Springs Demons bench celebrates after defeating the Lewis-Palmer Rangers durnig Friday night&#8217;s 4A state playoff game in Glenwood.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Glenwood Springs Demon Kenzie Winder dribbles the ball around the defending Lewis-Palmer Rangers during Friday night&#8217;s playoff win.Chelsea Self \/ Post Independent Glenwood Springs Demon Qwynn Massie reaches around a Lewis-Palmer [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1318475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-local-news"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-09-05 13:05:02","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1318475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1318475\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1318475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1318475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1318475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
