Bears lead early before losing to Ignacio<\/p>\n
Kicking off the last week\u2019s play on Jan. 30 in Ignacio, the Bears looked played well early before falling apart late, losing 50-37.<\/p>\n
Playing solid basketball early, Dolores jumped out to an 8-3 lead after one quarter before taking a 23-13 lead entering the half.<\/p>\n
Things quickly went south for the Bears during a tough third quarter however, and after several turnovers and defensive lapses, Dolores trailed 33-29 entering the fourth.<\/p>\n
Looking to make a comeback, the Bears were continuously stymied in the fourth quarter, eventually losing by 13 points.<\/p>\n
Poor first half dooms Bears in Norwood<\/p>\n
Hoping to notch a win on Feb. 1 against Norwood, the Bears struggled to find their rhythm, falling 60-37.<\/p>\n
Struggling to contain Norwood\u2019s attack early, the Bears fell behind 19-7 by the end of the first quarter and trailed 36-13 at the half.<\/p>\n
Playing better in the second half against many Norwood reserves, the Bears hung tough in the third quarter before outscoring Norwood 19-11 in the fourth.<\/p>\n
With their record now at 5-8 on the season, the Bears will continue practicing in preparation for weekend games against Ouray on Feb. 7 and Telluride on Feb. 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
