Thornton is on a four-game streak of home losses, and Skyview a ten-game streak of away losses dating back to last season. However, someone's due for a change in luck on Tuesday. The Thornton Trojans will be playing at home against the Skyview Wolverines at 6:30 p.m. Thornton has given up an average of 62.8 points per game this season, but Tuesday's game will give them a chance to turn things around.
On Saturday, Thornton ended up a good deal behind Fort Morgan and lost 65-46. While losing is never fun, the Trojans can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Colorado basketball rankings (they are ranked 322nd, while the Mustangs are ranked 122nd).
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Jakiha Carter, who posted 14 points. Hander Prado was another key player, putting up 13 points.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Skyview). They had just enough and edged out Gateway 70-68. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Wolverines have posted against the Olympians since January 19, 2023.
Skyview has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 5-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 52.0 points over those games. As for Thornton, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-13.
Thornton beat Skyview 57-47 when the teams last played back in February of 2025. Will the Trojans repeat their success, or do the Wolverines have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
