Pirates Split the Week Against Ranked Denver and East Marshall

By Siri Olsen  

The Hudson girls basketball team opened their week on Tuesday, Jan. 20, traveling to  Denver to take on one of the top teams in the conference—and the No. 5 ranked team in Class  2A—the Denver Cyclones. The Pirates had previously faced Denver in December, falling by just  eight points.  

The rematch started as a competitive back-and-forth contest, but the Cyclones  maintained the lead throughout. At halftime, Denver held a 28-19 advantage and extended their  margin in the second half to claim a 55-42 win.  

Junior Taylor Davis led the Pirates with 23 points, while junior Macey O’Brien added 9  points and pulled down 9 rebounds.  

Hudson returned to action on Saturday, Jan. 24, taking on East Marshall. The Mustangs  led 12-10 after the first quarter, but the Pirates came out hot in the second and held a 21-16  halftime lead. Hudson kept the pressure on in the second half and pulled away to secure a  61-41 win.  

The Pirates improved to 10-4 on the season.
