Central showcases its wealth of talent
The only thing more impressive than the 45-point margin by which the Central High School girls basketball team defeated Fruita Monument on Friday night was the fact that the Warriors’ youngsters seem to have turned a corner.
Everybody knew sophomore forward Amy Kame would likely develop into the best player in the Southwestern League, so it was no surprise that she had 27 points, 10 steals and eight rebounds.
But sophomores — Ashley Paul (3 points), Stacey Kinnett (4 rebounds), Tayler Else (7 points), Haleigh Higgins (4 points) and Maddilyn Vana (1 point)— freshman Mikayla Duffy (5 points) and junior Karen Hayter (7 points) were the ones outplaying the Wildcats’ starters in the fourth quarter, when the Warriors went on a 20-6 burst.
It’s a good sign that Central (10-3), ranked No. 8 in The Rocky Mountain News’ Class 5A state rankings, should be good for years to come.
