    “We finally played offense with the same intensity as our defense,” said Grand Junction coach Sam Provenza. “I couldn’t be more proud of our kids.”

    The teams went back and forth in the first quarter. Mackenzie Yonkers scored all nine Tiger points, and Grand Junction led 9-8 after the first quarter. Grand Junction maintained its lead at halftime, 15-14, and it was 29-24 Tigers after three quarters.

    Grand Junction pulled away in the fourth quarter and went on to win 48-37.

    “I’m so proud of my teammates,” Yonkers said. “We worked really hard to make this happen.”

    Kennadie Minerich led Montrose with 14 points.

    “Tough game. My team fought hard all the way,” Montrose coach Steve Skiff said. “Give Grand Junction credit: they made plays when they needed to. We will learn from this and move on and get ready for another big one on Friday.”

  • No. 8 Montrose girls basketball rallies to beat Grand Junction

    MONTROSE — After being shut out in the first quarter, and trailing 10-6 at halftime, eighth-ranked Montrose girls basketball rallied to beat Grand Junction on Tuesday.

    Montrose won, 27-24, in the cross-classification matchup.

    “We missed shots in the first half,” said Montrose junior Joise Eccher said. “We fought all the way through the game.”

    Montrose chipped away at a 6-0 Grand Junction lead in the second quarter to make it 10-6 at the break. Then, a 15-9 advantage gave Montrose the lead at 21-19 after three quarters.

    One key moment in that quarter came on a 3-pointer by Kennadie Minerich that tied the game at 14. Later, with Grand Junction up 18-16, Minerich hit another 3-pointer to give Montrose the lead.

    In the fourth quarter, Montrose’s Michaela Ladage hit a key free throw which pushed her team’s lead to 26-22.

    “It was a great match up and always is,” Montrose coach Steve Skiff said. “They came in with a ten-game winning streak. We talked about playing for 32 minutes. Our offense got off to a slow start and our defense carried us in the first half. Brenna Moss and Kennadie Minerich played the whole game which isn’t easy to do.

    “We kept fighting to the end.”

    Minerich finished with 14 points to lead Montrose. She also had six steals.

    “Tough, tough game,” Grand Junction coach Sam Provenza said. “We need to finish our shots in the first half. I thought our defense was really good. … We stayed close, we just didn’t get it done. We will put this behind us and prepare for Central and Durango Friday and Saturday.”

    Montrose (17-2, 4-0 in the Southwestern League) is off for a week, and will be at Grand Junction Central on Feb. 5. Grand Junction (13-5, 2-1) hosts Grand Junction Central on Friday.

  • 3A No. 5 Delta girls basketball edges 4A No. 8 Montrose

    (Ryan Myers/Delta HS)

    Delta girls basketball started hot on Tuesday, and then used a strong fourth quarter to pick up a big win over Montrose.

    The Panthers (9-1), ranked No. 5 in Class 3A, beat 4A No. 8 Montrose 37-35. The win was due in large part to a 14-6 advance in the final quarter.

    “Our girls are young and showed unbelievable maturity in the fourth,” Delta coach Kyle Crowder said. “We battled and treated each possession as a must have. I’m extremely proud of the effort and attitude they showed down the stretch. We need to convert more opportunities early, but this is a big win against a very quality opponent.”

    Sara Geddes led Delta with 12 points, eight rebounds and two assists, and Alexa Huff scored eight points.

    Delta started the game on a 9-1 run, and used that to spark a 22-18 lead at halftime.

    In the third quarter, Montrose (13-2) caught fire, using an 11-1 advantage to take a 24-23 lead going into the final frame. They pushed that lead to 32-25 with 4:40 to play, but Delta would not go away.

    The Panthers cut the lead to 35-32 with 1:47 left in the game, and then rallied for the 37-35 win. They closed the game on a 12-0 run.

    Kennadie Minerich led Montrose in scoring with 15 points.
