Preview: Cherry Creek Bruins vs. Columbine Rebels
Cherry Creek has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they'll head out on the road. They will take on the Columbine Rebels at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Cherry Creek has been getting the ball to fall more lately as they've increased their point totals each of their last three games.
Last Saturday, Cherry Creek strolled past Hardin-Jefferson with points to spare, taking the game 62-43. Given Cherry Creek's advantage in MaxPreps's basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked fifth in Colorado, while Hardin-Jefferson is ranked 288th in Texas), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Tianna Chambers, who scored 22 points along with 6 assists. That makes it two consecutive games in which she has scored at least 25% of Cherry Creek's points. A'neya Chambers was another key contributor, scoring 16 points along with 7 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Columbine beat Liberty 57-46 on Saturday. The victory made it back-to-back wins for Columbine.
Cherry Creek's win bumped their season record to 3-1 while Hardin-Jefferson's loss dropped theirs to 7-7.
Everything went Cherry Creek's way against Columbine in their previous meeting back in December of 2022 as Cherry Creek made off with a 57-35 win. The rematch might be a little tougher for Cherry Creek since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
