Bright lights. Big Headlines. Two number one ranked teams. The Worland Warriors were 7-0 and averaged nearly 81 points per game. The Rocky Mountain Grizzlies were 7-1 only giving up just under 39 points per game.
Taylor Winland is 6’5″, Dawson May is 6’2″, Branson Robison is 6’1″. Five other Grizzlies are 6 foot or taller. They walked into Warrior Gym looking big. A team with confidence.
The three’s rained for the Warriors in the first period. Worland hit from beyond the arch. Rudy Sanford had 2 three’s. Jorey Anderson hit one, in the first. Mack Page got one. The big scorer in the first period for the Warriors? Sophomore Court Gonzalez. He had eleven of his fourteen points in the first period.
