Girls Basketball Playoffs Area Round

Good luck to all the remaining El Paso teams still alive in the Girls State Basketball playoffs. Our Riverside girls lost a tough one to Burges in our bi-district game earlier this week (77-79).

Both teams played their hearts out and left everything they had on the floor. Our girls had a great season and we are extremely proud of the way they came together as a team this year.

Here is the schedule for the upcoming Area basketball games.

Thursday 2/17/11

BURGES VS CANYON

FRIDAY 2/18/11

HORIZON VS DENTON RYAN

CHAPIN VS FRENSHIP

CANUTILLO VS PLAINVIEW

FRANKLIN VS ARLINGTON BOWIE

BI-District Playoff Game 2-15-11

The Lady Rangers take on the Burges Mustangs tonight at 5:45 pm in the Ranger Gym for the 2-4a bi-distirct championship.


Our girls lost a tough one last week against the Canutillo Eagles for the District 2-4a Championship. The game was back and forth all night but the Eagles had just enough in the end to pull out the victory.





In other 4-A action Horizon is at Irvin, Canutillo is hosting Andres and Chapin is battling Del Valle at Chapin.

















Class 5-A Games (Tuesday):

Coronado vs Lubbock Monterey in Odessa


Bel Air vs Lubbock Coronado in Pecos


Franklin vs Amarilolo Tascosa in Seminole




I want to wish all the El Paso teams the best of luck tonight. This has been a great season with great displays of talent and teamwork on the hardwood. I will post scores and updates on future games when I get the chance.
