The Tuesday top 10 girls’ basketball schedule is loaded with important games as several contests could determine league championships.
Class 2A features two prime-time games as #1 Yuma hosts #4 Holyoke and #7 Denver Christian meets #9 Highland. Yuma and Holyoke are both unbeaten in the Lower Platte but only Yuma can clinch the championship with a win. For the Dragons to earn the title, they must upset the Indians this evening and then beat #2 Wray later in the week.
The winner between Denver Christian and Highland grabs the Mile-High championship. Neither team has suffered a conference loss.
In Class 1A, #8 Springfield is ranked lower than #3 Kim/Branson but the Longhorns have a one game lead on the Mustangs in the Ark Valley chase. Springfield clinches the title with a win while a Kim/Branson victory creates a three-way tie between the two and Holly.
University needs an upset to #10 Eaton to land fourth place in the 3A Patriot division. The Bulldogs could tumble to sixth with a loss. Eaton has already secured second place and the number two district seed behind Sterling.
In Class 4A, #3 Evergreen begins a difficult closing streak as they face #8 Valor Christian tonight and then #6 Golden on Thursday. The Cougars have both games at home and start the stretch with a two-game advantage over both in the Jeffco chase. A win in either gives them the outright title.
Holy Family and Windsor also share the lead in the Tri Valley with identical 11-1 conference marks so both need to win out to keep a share of the title. Each faces a strong opponent this evening as the Tigers meet third place Mead (9-3) and the Wizards fourth-place Berthoud (7-5).
The entire Top 10 schedule can be seen below. Final scores will first be posted inside our Daily Scoreboard and the Top 10 list will be updated throughout the evening. Scores can be sent to us by email to [email protected] or by text to 970.380.7737.
