The 2014-15 Bayfield High School girls basketball season ended Tuesday in Alamosa.
BHS lost 44-27 to the Mean Moose to finish an 0-20 season in the Intermountain League tournament.
The Wolverines trailed 22-7 at the half before staying within two points of the Mean Moose in the second half.
“It’s been kind of the same story all year. We haven’t been able to put together a full game. That comes from us being young and needing some leadership and needing people to step up and attack the basket,” said BHS head coach Bri Simbeck. “In the first half we relied too much on being too passive. We needed to attack them. In the second half, we turned it around and did that.”
Especially junior Aspen Pinnecoose.
She scored 16 of her team-high 18 points after halftime with two 3-pointers.
“She really stepped it up at halftime,” Simbeck said.
Both BHS seniors Jessie Roukema and Andrea Zelinski scored four points each.
Alamosa (7-13, 6-5 IML) advances to play second-seeded Centauri on Thursday in Pagosa Springs.
The Wolverines only will lose two seniors to graduation and bring back a more experienced team next year.
“We’re learning, we’re young, we’re excited to learn some stuff in the summer,” Simbeck said. “We can get better. We don’t consider ourselves losers. We’ve lost games, but we fought to the end of all the games, and that speaks to the character of my girls.”
