The Mountain Vista Golden Eagles will take on the Longmont Trojans in a tournament on Friday. Hopefully Mountain Vista focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 13 on Wednesday.
While Golden Eagles fans will have to keep waiting for their squad to come home, they shouldn't be too worried about the road trip considering the result of Wednesday's season opener. They blew past Northfield 63-40. The contest was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 38-15.
Mountain Vista's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Kennedy Spellman led the charge by going 10 for 23 en route to 28 points plus six steals and five assists. Kiarra Spellman was another key player, scoring 21 points plus seven steals and five rebounds.
Mountain Vista smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 15 offensive rebounds. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least 11 offensive rebounds in eight consecutive matches dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 12-12 at halftime, Longmont was not quite The Classical Academy's equal in the second half on Thursday. They lost to the Titans at home by a 38-24 margin.
