Jordan Rockwell continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines for Limon, scoring 17 points along with five rebounds and five steals. Another player making a difference was Treyton Marx, who scored nine points along with 12 rebounds.
Elbert's defeat dropped their record down to 3-3. As for Limon, the victory (which was their sixth in a row) raised their record to 7-2.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Elbert will play host again and welcome Deer Trail, where tip off is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on Thursday. Deer Trail comes in on a streak of failing to score more than 20 points in their last four games, a trend the team is of course eager to reverse. As for Limon, Limon and Evangel Christian Academy will face off at 7:30 p.m. on January 18th without much rest after finishing up games yesterday.
