Niwot girls put the rough in Rough Rider Shootout

The Niwot girls basketball team was without the services of top scorers Lily Sieben and Nikki Sims during the Rough Rider Shootout, which led to some lopsided losses during the three-day tournament, held Jan. 2-4 at Roosevelt High. The Cougars averaged just 20 points-per-game as they fell to D'Evelyn (68-26), host-team Roosevelt (56-18), and finally Steamboat Springs (38-16). Head coach Terri Ward once again did not have much to say afterwards, but admitted, "We're out of sorts."
