Barbara Lawlor, Gilpin County. It was a tough week for the Gilpin High School Eagles' boys basketball team, losing two consecutive away games this past week, bringing them to a 5-6 record for the season.

On Wednesday, January 21, Gilpin traveled to Idaho Springs to play the Clear Creek Golddiggers, who are 2-10.

Then Clear Creek sprang into action, gaining 10 points on the Eagles, who worked hard to get it back in the fourth period but could only gain six points—not enough to reclaim the game.
