Support Aspen Skiers basketball tonight

Dear Editor:

The Aspen High School boys start their run to the state playoffs tonight at 6 in the big gym at Aspen High School. We will be hosting either Hotchkiss High School or Cedaredge High School in the first round of the league playoffs.

This year’s team was a complete unknown when the season started, having lost nine seniors to graduation. They started slowly but have come on strong in the second half of the season, winning eight of their last nine games to win the North Division in the 3A Western Slope League.

Come on out tonight and watch the Skiers, with their tough stifling defense and timely shooting, begin their bid for a fourth straight trip to the State Great 8 in Fort Collins.

Go Skiers!

Tom Nugent
