The Coronado Cougars will challenge the Palmer Terrors at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Both have had a bumpy ride up to this point with eight consecutive losses for Coronado and four for Palmer.
Last Tuesday, Coronado lost to Widefield on the road by a 50-33 margin. While losing is never fun, the Cougars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 302nd, while the Gladiators are ranked 137th).
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Reagan Napier, who posted eight points and six boards. She is trending in the right direction considering she's improved her point production for three straight games. Another player making a difference was Elsie Walker, who put up seven points and 15 rebounds.
Meanwhile, Palmer was just a bucket shy of victory on Tuesday and fell 38-37 to Mesa Ridge.
Palmer's loss dropped their record down to 5-15. As for Coronado, their defeat dropped their record down to 1-17.
Things could have been worse for Coronado, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 42-25 loss to Palmer in their previous meeting back in January. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of Palmer's Brooke Ridgeway, who shot 4-for-6 from long range and almost dropped a double-double on 12 points and nine steals. Now that Coronado knows the damage she can cause, will they be able to stop her this time? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
