Tough Week for CHS boys

CHS’s Jacob Lockman attempts to drive by Castle Rock’s Caleb Mullen during the first half of last Thursday’s 1A Trico League home game. A big third quarter propelled the Rockets to a 73-35 win.

It was a must-win game for both Columbia High and Castle Rock. Something in 1A Trico League boys basketball standings was going to give with the outcome of last Thursday’s contest between two winless teams.

The give was a one-game difference between fifth and sixth places in the standings. Castle Rock gained that difference with a 73-35 statement win over the Bruins, who trailed 34-20 at the half because of a late surge by the Rockets.
