The win secured the No. 7 seed in the district tournament for Aspen (11-8), which will likely host No. 10 Cedaredge (4-15) on Saturday afternoon to get the postseason started.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cNow they are going out there and fighting. If they do that, in this league anybody and can beat anybody,\u201d Schrempf said. \u201cWe got ourselves a challenge ahead, but every single game is winnable for any one of these teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Aspen\u2019s win Thursday over Basalt (4-14) won\u2019t officially make it into the record books. The game was considering a \u201cfoundation\u201d game due to an overscheduling error on Aspen\u2019s part; teams are only allowed to play 19 regular-season contests. Had BHS won Thursday, the result would have replaced Aspen\u2019s 54-48 win at Basalt from earlier in the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As it happened Thursday, Aspen\u2019s first win will remain official. Basalt will enter the district tournament as the No. 8 seed and likely host No. 9 Olathe (3-16) on Saturday afternoon. Olathe beat Cedaredge on Thursday night, 49-43, to earn the 9 seed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cCoach always says our best basketball comes in late February, and we are there right now. It\u2019s exciting to be here and we\u2019re definitely playing the best we have,\u201d AHS senior Jonathan Woodrow said. \u201cWe just kept our energy high, didn\u2019t get down at all. We are really starting to play as a team and together and ultimately we are just having fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Woodrow led all players in scoring Thursday with 24, while Ledingham added 20. Basalt\u2019s Wish Moore finished with 19 to lead the Longhorns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">BASALT GIRLS 49, ASPEN 14<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the girls game Thursday night, Basalt rolled to a 49-14 win over Aspen to close out its regular season. Unlike the boys game, this game did officially count toward each team\u2019s record.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Longhorns (8-9) head into the district tournament as the No. 7 seed and will once again face Aspen (0-9), the No. 10 seed, on Saturday afternoon in Basalt. Olathe and Gunnison are the No. 8 and 9 seeds, respectively.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cExcited for the challenges that are going to come with the playoffs. I\u2019m excited to see some teams again and hopefully play better against them,\u201d second-year BHS coach Amy Contini said. \u201cIt\u2019s been an up-and-down season, but what you haven\u2019t seen is these girls have remained positive the whole way through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The eight wins are the most for Basalt since the team went 23-4 in 2007-08, according to the MaxPreps records.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cI would just say the big thing is our team is always keeping positive after a hard loss,\u201d BHS senior Taylor Glen said. \u201cEven if we lose three games in a row, we really stay positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Lopez, Samuelson both move on for Basalt wrestling at state tournament<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Basalt High School wrestling team had both its athletes cruise through first-round matches on Thursday, the opening day of the Class 3A state tournament at the Pepsi Center in Denver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Senior heavyweight Ernesto Lopez needed only 38 seconds to pin La Junta\u2019s Ryan Metzger (8-16) to move onto Friday\u2019s quarterfinals. Lopez (30-3), who won his regional tournament, will face Eaton\u2019s Tanner True (39-6) in the next round.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">At 170 pounds, Basalt junior Ruben Samuelson won via a 12-3 major decision over Jefferson\u2019s Randy Duran (31-9) on Thursday. Samuelson (38-1), whose lone loss this season came in the regional final, will face Woodland Park\u2019s Cole Gray (28-2) in Friday\u2019s quarterfinal matchup.<\/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-beats-basalt-in-regular-season-finale-bhs-girls-also-roll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aspen\u2019s Jon Woodrow (24) attempts a shot during the first half of the varsity game against Basalt on Thursday, Feb. 20, 2020.
