The Montbello Warriors will take on the Denver North Vikings at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. The two teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Montbello played in conference for the first time on Tuesday and they got just the result they we're looking for. They breezed by Hinkley to the tune of 46-13. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Warriors had established a 24 point advantage.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Montbello to victory, but perhaps none more so than Juanita Dixon, who went 6 of 10 en route to 12 points. Another player making a difference was Brittany Saldivar, who posted ten points.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Denver North). Everything went their way against Regis Groff on Tuesday as Denver North made off with a 74-49 win. The victory was familiar territory for the Vikings who have now won three matchups in a row.
Denver North pushed their record up to 9-7 with the win, which was their fourth straight at home. They've dominated over that stretch too, winning by an average of 31.2 points. As for Montbello, the victory made it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 6-12.
Montbello might still be hurting after the 63-37 loss they got from Denver North in their previous matchup two weeks ago. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Denver North's Adriana Ortiz, who went 9 for 16 on her way to 23 points and eight steals. Now that Montbello knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? There's only one way to find out.
