After starting the season 0-4, Manitou Springs has won three of its last four games.

La Junta 58, St. Mary’s 44

At La Junta: A 22-6 first-quarter hole was too much for the Pirates to dig out of.

Alex Greenly led St. Mary’s (2-4) with 15 points and Robert Delfeld added 12.

Jacob Morales, who contributed seven points, was the only other Pirates’ player to score more than three points.

Wasson 75, Cañon City 58

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

St. Mary’s 57, La Junta 31

At St. Mary’s: Gabi Florek was the only St. Mary’s player in double figures with 15 points, as the Pirates wore down La Junta and ended the game with a 16-2 fourth quarter.

St. Mary’s (5-0) shot 12 more free throws than the Tigers, making 17-of-22 from the line.

“I thought our bench did a pretty good job tonight, including Maggie Hartman, who did a great job attacking the basket,” St. Mary’s coach Mike Burkett said. “I think we’re going to do well in the conference and see what happens when we play teams like Trinidad and Lamar.”

Montrose 43, Rampart 40

At Rampart: Lucia Archuleta, Megan Kavalec and Kaleah Hires each scored eight points to lead Rampart (7-3), which led 21-20 at the half.

A 12-5 third quarter for Montrose was enough for the Indians (6-2) to hold off a fourth-quarter Rams rally. The loss snaps a four-game winning streak for Rampart.

At Sertich Ice Arena: Riley Gregory led the way for Pine Creek with two goals and an assist, while Hayden Smith and Zach Zimmerman each added a goal and an assist for the Eagles (5-4).
