Needing to adapt on the fly Saturday against visiting Middle Park, Aspen High School rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to win 61-54 inside the AHS gymnasium for its fourth straight win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThere was a stretch in the first half where we were doing a lot of individual stuff,\u201d said Schrempf, Aspen\u2019s fourth-year head coach. \u201cIt was really impressive from a coach\u2019s standpoint to see a group of young men like that that just adapted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Middle Park (4-2) came out swinging against Aspen in the non-league game. The Panthers led 7-0 only to have AHS pull within a point on two occasions, but did end the first quarter with a 20-13 lead. Middle Park\u2019s lead was 35-25 at halftime but by the end of the third quarter the Skiers were within 41-37.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey came out and stuck to our guns, they started playing Aspen basketball at our pace instead of at theirs,\u201d Schrempf said of the second half. \u201cThey are very coachable; they are adaptable. We have our tendencies, but they are coachable to the point where we are able to make adjustments and these guys are retaining it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Aspen tied the game at 41-all with 7:19 to play and took its first lead at 45-43 shortly after. The game was tied 53-all with just under three minutes to play, but it was all AHS from there, a basket by senior Aidan Ledingham with about 44 seconds remaining making it a five-point game and all but icing it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Ledingham and freshman Taylor Akin each finished with 20 points, while sophomore Braden Korpela added 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Only the night before, in a 66-45 win over Cedaredge in their league opener, Aspen sophomore Lucas Lee finished with 24 points, Korpela and Ledingham each scoring 10. While Lee, Korpela and Akin stand out among the current underclassmen, Schrempf is thrilled about the potential of that entire group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cBoth those two classes are made of kids that are so bought in,\u201d Schrempf said. \u201cThey love basketball and they want to keep getting better and they are students of the game. Having that, it just raises the ceiling so high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With Saturday\u2019s win, Aspen improved to 6-3 overall and 1-0 in WSL play. The Skiers have won four straight games, all coming since the holiday break. Next up, AHS will host Vail Mountain on Tuesday in a league game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Aspen girls (2-4) did not play Saturday after a 58-3 loss to Cedaredge on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">BASALT basketball FALLS TWICE AT DELTA on Saturday<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Basalt High School basketball teams played Saturday at Delta. The BHS girls lost 64-42 after the Panthers (7-3, 2-0) jumped out to an 18-4 lead after a quarter. The loss dropped Basalt to 3-4 overall and 0-2 in league play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Longhorn boys lost 83-31 to fall to 1-8 overall and 0-2 in league play. Delta improved to 5-5 and 3-0 in WSL play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Both the Basalt boys and girls are scheduled to host Vail Christian on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">ASPEN HOCKEY TIES, LOSES ON weekend ROAD TRIP<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Aspen High School hockey team played to a 2-2 tie Friday at Steamboat Springs before falling 6-2 at Summit on Saturday. The road trip results lead to a 3-5-2 overall record for the Skiers, who are set to host Battle Mountain on Friday and Doherty on Saturday in their next games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Aspen high ALPINE TEAM GOES 1-2 AT LOVELAND<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Aspen High School alpine ski teams competed Friday at Loveland, with the boys team winning and the girls finishing second. AHS junior Tyler Thomas won the boys giant slalom, while junior teammate Charlie Olson was second and junior Thomas Morris fourth. Max Godomsky, Nick Godomsky, Hank Sweeney and Dyer Hunting finished seventh through 10th, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Evergreen won the girls side of things with 174 points, while Aspen tied for second with Lake County with 165 points. Lake County\u2019s Taylor Duel won the girls race, while Aspen\u2019s top finisher was junior Annika Nichols in fifth. Macy Hopkinson (sixth), Summer McSwain (seventh), Ronnie Bedford (eighth) and Gemma Hill (ninth) all finished in the top 10 for the Skiers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Aspen High Nordic team did not compete this weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\"><a href=\"mailto:acolbert@aspentimes.com\">acolbert@aspentimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/sports\/preps-aspen-boys-basketball-rallies-to-win-fourth-straight-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspen\u2019s Braden Korpela (14) dribbles down the court as teammate Lucas Lee (3) sets a screen on Middle Park\u2019s Evan Laraby (11) during the varsity game on Saturday, Jan. 18, 2020.
