As the 2024-2025 basketball season continues to unfold, the Monticello and Ouray teams are both preparing for a series of exciting matchups, each aiming to make a mark in their respective schedules.
Monticello (24-25): A Slow Start, But Hopeful for Improvement

Despite the loss, Monticello managed to put up 31 points across the game.

Ouray (24-25): A Fresh Start with an Awaited Debut
On the other hand, the Ouray basketball team has yet to play a game as of December 2024. With a record of 0-0 and their first matchup against West Grand set for December 6, 2024, the team has a clean slate. As it stands, Ouray’s scoring averages and overall team dynamics remain unknown, as they have not yet stepped onto the court this season.
Their upcoming schedule features similar matchups to Monticello’s, including games against Dove Creek, Dolores, and of course, Monticello in February. As the season progresses, Ouray will look to establish their identity and build momentum, especially given that their first encounter with Monticello will be a crucial early-season test.
Common Opponents: Facing Similar Challenges
Both Monticello and Ouray will face off against similar opponents throughout the season, creating a shared challenge for the two teams. With both schools scheduled to meet teams like Dove Creek and Dolores, it will be interesting to see how each team adapts to the competition. Monticello’s early performance against West Grand and the other teams could serve as a useful benchmark for Ouray as they begin their season.

While Monticello has already begun their season, the Ouray team is still preparing for their debut. Monticello’s scoring performance against West Grand, despite the loss, shows that the team can be competitive, particularly in the second half. Ouray’s first game of the season will provide insight into their capabilities, and both teams have a tough road ahead with several games against common opponents.
