CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE CENTENNIAL LEAGUE TITLE!!
2/13/10
It's often said that it is difficult to beat the same team 3 times in a season, and Arapahoe found that out on Saturday, losing to a hard-defending Cherry Creek team 41-36 in the League tournament 3rd place game at Creek's home gym. However, the Warriors finished the season 15-4, going 12-2 in the regular season and winning the Centennial League Championship. Plus, unlike many of the other teams (Creek included), Arapahoe, despite illness and injury, did not bring any players down from the upper level teams to help bolster their tournament roster . Kudos to Coach Stephen and the rest of the Warrior coaching staff for resisting that temptation! All in all, it was a great season and one of which the entire team should be proud. The Arapahoe basketball program appears to be in good shape for years to come with these young men leading the way. Congratulations, and great job Warriors!!

When your opponent shoots more than 4 times as many free throws as you do, it's nearly impossible to win!! However, Arapahoe nearly overcame a 27-6 foul shot deficit, only to lose 35-33 to a football-like Smoky Hill team. This has been a huge rivalry all year long, with the three games between these two teams being settled by a combined margin of 6 points. Now with their 8-game winning streak snapped, the Warriors look to finish the season on a winning note as they play for third place in the tournament this Saturday, 11:30am at Cherry Creek!
