Craig Middle School hoops play district tourney

The seventh- and eighth-grade girls basketball teams of Craig Middle School recently competed their seasons with the district tournament Feb. 14 in Meeker.

The eighth-grade A-Team came in third after a first-round loss of 33-31 against Rangely and a 40-20 triumph with Steamboat Spring, whereas the B-Team went 1-1 in a smaller Round Robin against Meeker, a loss and Rangely, a win.

Coach Candi Hellander said the teams played hard despite a diminished roster.

The seventh-grade Bulldog A-Team came in second after a win against Rangely but a defeat by Meeker in the championship, while the B-Team took a first-round loss against Steamboat but rallied to beat Rangely to end the day.

Coach Jason Buhrman said players improved dramatically over the season, up to and including districts.

“We were still working on running the offense correctly and playing good help defense, but when we did those things we usually won,” he said.
