The match was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 52-22.
Blake Weslin continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, almost dropping a double-double on 19 points and nine rebounds. He continues to roll, besting his previous point total in each of the last three games he's played. Another player making a difference was Austin Beeson, who scored 12 points along with eight assists and three steals.

Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Green Mountain will take on the Pirates at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Alameda will have to bring their A-game into this one, as they are staring down a pretty big deficit in the MaxPreps Colorado Rankings (they are ranked 331st, while the Rams are ranked 102nd).
