The Ouray High School Trojans showed they weren’t ready to call it a season, with a 44-40 win over the Sangre de Cristo Thunderbirds in a 1A regional contest last Friday, March 3 at Western State Colorado University in Gunnison.
With the win, Ouray is headed to the state tournament in Denver for the second straight season to play the Holly Wildcats, March 9 at 10:15 a.m. in Hamilton Gym at the University of Northern Colorado.
The combined efforts of senior Trojan guards Lincoln Sackman, Ravi Inmon and Kikito Meraz were the main factor in Ouray’s win over a team that had defeated them 64-24 in the second game of the 2016-2017 season. All three players were effective in passing the ball and putting it in the net. Meraz got into foul trouble toward the end of the game through his aggressive defensive play.
Both squads were supported by...
