\u201cThe girls played really well,\u201d said Dolores head coach Larry Schwartz. \u201cI\u2019m pretty pleased with how the girls are playing right now and how they\u2019re coming along.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Lady Bears led 19-8 after the first quarter and 33-17 at halftime. The Lady Bears continued to pour it on in the second half, outscoring Telluride 34-15 over the final 16 minutes.<\/p>\n

Schwartz said that his team\u2019s offensive performance was one of its finest of the year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe girls are really coming along on their offense,\u201d said the head coach.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are doing a good job getting the ball inside and the post players are doing a good job of finding the guards once they spot up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next up for the Lady Bears will be a home matchup against Ouray on Feb. 13 and a road matchup against Ridgway on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese next few games are important and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how we stack up against two of the tougher teams in our league,\u201d Schwartz said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
