Overall, the PGH-Colorado front-liners combined for complete and contrasting results. One was consistent in both games. More than one had one good game and one not-so-good game. Another was injured and missed one of the games. Their performances both mirrored the outcomes and occurred in spite of them.
And don’t forget – there could be rematches in two of the three games as Mullen and Grandview will play Round 2 in the Centennial League on Saturday, Jan 29, and Grandview and Valor could see each other again in the playoffs. (Note: Grandview and Valor are 5A and Mullen is 4A.).
