With a playoff game on the line, the Creede Miners rose to the challenge on Tuesday. They blew past the Trojans 62-25 on the road. Creede has made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won nine matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Creede got their victory on the backs of several key players, but it was Lila Fairchild out in front who dropped a triple-double on 23 points, ten assists, and 11 steals. That makes it 11 consecutive games in which Fairchild has scored at least a third of Creede's points. Another player making a difference was Jasmin Laing, who scored 22 points along with six assists and three steals.
The victory was the fifth in a row for Creede, bringing their record for this year to 13-7. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.2 points per game. As for Antonito, they are on a five-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 1-16.
Creede is on the road again on Friday and plays Sierra Grande at 6:00 p.m. on February 23rd. Creede knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with flashy point totals in its past three matchups -- so hopefully Sierra Grande likes a good challenge. Antonito does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
