Virginia City beat the Lady Wolves 53-30 on Friday night to put a damper on Coleville's senior night.

Alexus Robertson and Lela Gnuse-Stokes each scored seven points to lead the Lady Wolves. Elizabeth Pierce led Coleville in rebounds with seven.
"I thought we did a much better job this time in defending their half-court offense but our 44 turnovers killed us," Coleville coach Will Sandy said. "They take advantage of every mistake."
Saturday Coleville traveled to Hawthorne and used a strong second half to defeat Mineral County by a final score of 37-19.
