GUNNISON — Mariela Martinez finished with a game-high 13 points to go with a 10-point performance from Kaitlyn Detlefsen, and Coal Ridge High School’s girls basketball team rolled to a 44-13 victory against Gunnison in a Class 3A Western Slope League road game on Friday night.

Jenny Call added eight points with a pair of 3-pointers and Allie Winkler chipped in seven points for the Titans (2-6 overall, 2-2 3A WSL), who snapped a two-game losing streak with their victory against a young Cowboys squad.

“Our fast break, press and rebounding were much better tonight,” first-year Coal Ridge girls coach Steve Young said. “We started much better than we did the last two games and kept up the tempo.”

The Titans play at Grand Junction Central on Tuesday in a nonleague game.
