Spring break is over, and now it’s time for the local sports team to get back to work with plenty of action this week.
The only high school teams in action this past week were baseball squads. Durango bounced back from its 0-2 start to win three games at the Scorpion Invitational. Durango had its home opener on Tuesday. Bayfield went 1-2 at the Delta tournament, and the Wolverines will stay on the road this weekend.
Plenty of other Durango teams are home, including girls soccer, girls lacrosse, girls tennis and boys lacrosse. Most high school teams are finishing up their non-league schedules, so there is still time to build chemistry and skill before the regular-season games matter the most.
Up on the hill, Fort Lewis College women’s lacrosse is still looking for its first win and will have two home games this week. Softball will also be home this weekend.
Here’s the local sports schedule for the upcoming week:
