Moffat’s Alyssa Hammel, only a sophomore, had a game high 43 points, 24 rebounds and six steals.
Primero jumped out early in this district contest with good defense and shooting, hitting on four three points from three different players. Moffat made a run in the second half to cut into a double digit deficit, but Primero caused eight Cowboy turnovers in the last three minutes of the game to earn the 67-60 win. The night before, Primero lost to Sangre de Cristo on the road in a D-6 game.
