The Lady Bulldogs varsity team won the White River Electric Cowboy Shootout hosted Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Meeker.
Moffat County started with a 42-24 victory over Nucla Thursday then returned to Meeker the next night to down the host team, 44-37. Saturday afternoon saw them clinch the tournament, 51-46, against Soroco.
“It was well-fought, that Soroco team is scrappy, one of the better shooting teams I’ve seen,” MCHS coach Kenley Nebeker said.
Junior varsity hoops were likewise 3-0 at the Shootout, including a 54-7 opener against Grand Valley, 51-26 Friday over Meeker and a Saturday blowout against Aspen that Nebeker said was so one-sided against the Skiers he lost track of the score.
Both MCHS girls and boys varsity will play this week at the Steamboat Springs Shootout, girls starting Thursday afternoon with Northridge.
Nebeker said he hopes for a repeat of the sweep and the perseverance that came with it.
“The biggest thing we saw this weekend is that they are capable of fighting and powering through adversity,” he said.
