Lady Eagles claim league title

With a convincing 62-38 win over Meeker Saturday, the Lady Eagles claimed the 2A Western Slope League title.

Paonia trailed 22-20 at the half, but came alive to put 42 points on the board in the second half.

Meeker was held to 16 second-half points.

Meeker is 7-1 and in second place in league standings. It faces Rangely (6-1) this Friday to determine the No. 2 team heading into the district tournament.

On Friday, Paonia posted a 55-26 win at Rangely.

Paonia is now 15-3 overall and 8-0 in league play. The Lady Eagles wrapped up the league schedule Tuesday night at Hotchkiss. While scores weren't available at press time, an unlikely loss for the Lady Eagles at Hotchkiss would not alter Paonia's league standings. The 2A District 5 tournament opens Tuesday, Feb. 26. Paonia will receive a first-round bye. Pairings for quarterfinal (first-round pigtail) games will be announced this weekend.

District semifinals are scheduled for March 1 and 2, at Paonia.
