Caliche Girls Basketball Dominates Peetz 64-38 in CHSAA Playoff Victory

The Caliche girls basketball team kept its state tournament run alive with a 26-point dismantling of Peetz, 64-38, in a CHSAA playoff game played March 13 during the state tournament window.

The Iliff-area school controlled the game from wire to wire, building a margin that made the final score feel comfortable rather than contested. Caliche's offense generated 64 points against a Peetz squad that could not find a consistent answer, while the Wolverines' defense held the Bulldogs to 38, a total that reflected sustained defensive pressure across four quarters.

The rivalry between Caliche and Peetz carries real weight in northeastern Colorado. Both schools draw from sparsely populated stretches of Logan County, and matchups between the two programs carry the stakes of small-school competition where rosters are short, communities are invested, and playoff games feel personal. A 26-point margin against a county neighbor is a statement.

With the win, Caliche advanced deeper into the CHSAA state tournament bracket, keeping its postseason run intact as the state tournament field narrows in mid-March. The Wolverines will need to carry that momentum forward as the bracket tightens and the competition stiffens.
