The Truckee girls basketball team fell to Spring Creek, 41-23, and Elko, 55-23, on a league road trip this past Friday and Saturday.

Against first-place Elko, which improved to 7-0 in Northern Division I-A play, the Wolverines could only hold the Indians’ potent offense in check for so long. Elko took a 19-5 lead by the end of the first quarter and led 33-5 at the half after Truckee went scoreless in the second quarter.

The Indians forced repeated turnovers with their defensive pressure, which prevented the Wolverines from getting quality shots.
