The Longhorn girls continued their long winning streak over the Skiers, while the AHS boys made it three straight over Basalt in a close game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">ASPEN BOYS 54, BASALT 48<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Trailing at halftime, the Skiers found another gear late to rally back for a 54-48 win over the Longhorns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe told them from the jump, in my three-and-a-half years here, Basalt has never not showed up to play Aspen, regardless of how good their team is that year,\u201d fourth-year AHS coach Alex Schrempf said. \u201cThey always show up to play the best ball they are going to play against us and they played good. We started slow and we were not playing well together in the first half.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt, the big underdogs based off records entering the game, led 25-22 at halftime, outscoring the Skiers 13-6 in the first quarter. The Longhorns still led 35-34 going into the fourth quarter before the Skiers took over with a 20-point final frame.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Aspen senior Jonathan Woodrow, in his first game back from injury, scored 12 points in the fourth quarter alone to help propel the Skiers to the win.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWe came together in the last five minutes,\u201d Schrempf said. \u201cWe finally got Woodrow back and he had a string of buckets for us we needed and we got some big stops. Aidan Ledingham got some huge rebounds at the very end, and we were able to squeeze that one out, luckily.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With the win, Aspen improved to 9-4 overall. The nine wins match a season best for the program under Schrempf, who went 9-12 in his first season. AHS hasn\u2019t won double-digit games in a single season since going 19-5 in 2013-14, the final season under coach Steve Ketchum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIf we keep turning it around and stepping forward, I think we have a good chance to get a few more,\u201d Schrempf said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It was the third straight win for Aspen over Basalt. The Longhorns had won the seven games before that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt fell to 1-11 overall after losing its eighth straight game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThey find a way to win. They\u2019ve learned how to win and it\u2019s a credit to them and I\u2019m excited for us to get to that step,\u201d first-year Basalt coach Clint Hunter said of Aspen. \u201cIt\u2019s a good sign. I think the guys are ready to get past the moral victories. We\u2019ve got to continue to focus on the process and realize when we are doing well, what are the small things we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">BASALT GIRLS 52, ASPEN 21<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the girls game, it was Basalt that came out slow before pulling away late against its upvalley rival. The Longhorns only led 12-10 after a quarter but were ahead 30-13 at halftime thanks to an 18-3 run in the second quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cAspen played a really great first quarter against us. We had low energy and they came out firing and making a lot of their shots,\u201d second-year Basalt coach Amy Contini said. \u201cWe were able to pull away a little after that. But overall they played a really tough game against us. We were missing three girls tonight, but we\u2019ve been having a lot of great younger girls stepping up into some playing time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt held Aspen to a combined eight points in the second half as it rolled to another victory over the Skiers. BHS hasn\u2019t lost to Aspen since the 2013-14 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">AHS fell to 3-7 overall, while Basalt improved to 6-4 overall. The six wins match their win total from last season, when the Longhorns finished 6-15 overall. BHS hasn\u2019t won seven games in a single season since finishing 7-14 overall in 2009-10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Basalt has now won three straight since losing back-to-back games to Coal Ridge and Delta to open league play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cWhen we went through the Coal Ridge and the Delta game, we talked a lot about either getting up and fighting back or if we were going to sit there and take it,\u201d Contini said. \u201cThis team is deep and we are doing it together. Everyone\u2019s got their job and everyone is doing their job. It\u2019s been a lot of fun these last few games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Next up, both Aspen and Basalt will be on the road Friday, AHS at Olathe and BHS at Cedaredge.<\/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\/aspen-boys-basketball-holds-off-basalt-in-rivalry-game-bhs-girls-roll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basalt High School basketball hosts Aspen on Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2020, inside the BHS gymnasium.
