The Greeley West girls’ basketball team traveled to Boulder Tuesday, January 24 for a big league game. The girls’ basketball team has struggled in their league the past few years. Being in the 5a Front Range league they do have a very tough conference. But last night, they won their first league game this year.

Greeley West played Boulder and it was a very good game. Greeley West girls pulled out the win 28-29. It’s not a very high scoring game, but it is a win in league. This game obviously went down the stretch and was a one possession game.

The West Girls were down for most of the game by a point or two. Then, when it came down the last few minutes the girls were able to draw fouls and they got the lead by free throws. Once they got the lead they were able to hold it for the last minute.

Senior basketball player Yvette Terrazas stated, “Practice have been getting more intense. We prepared for this game better than we usually have. We had a good talk and made personal and team goals.”

The Greeley West girls team has been approving a lot this year. They have another road game against Fossil Ridge the Friday, January 27.
