The Durango Trailblazers will face off against the Las Vegas Wildcats at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.
Durango is leaving town to face Las Vegas after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. The Trailblazers were beaten by Liberty 63-36 on Monday. Sadly, the loss continues a streak the team started last season, making it four in a row.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Fabian Gomez, who posted five points along with six boards and three steals.
Meanwhile, Las Vegas strolled past Canyon Springs with points to spare on Tuesday, taking the game 72-54. The Wildcats pushed the score to 58-36 by the end of the third, a deficit the Pioneers cut but never quite recovered from.
Durango was able to grind out a solid win over Las Vegas in their previous matchup back in January, winning 76-66. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Wildcats' Tayshaun Jackson, who shot 65% from the field on his way to 25 points in addition to five assists and four steals. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for the Trailblazers to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
