LEADORE - The North Gem girls' basketball team overwhelmed Leadore on the way to a 69-36 road win.

With the victory, the Cowboys earned a share of the 1A Division II Rocky Mountain Conference regular-season title.

"We came out and we just man-to-man like we do everyone," said North Gem coach Corry Hatch. "We pressured them, and in the early going, we hit some jumpers. That really sparked us."

After the first quarter, the Cowboys held a 19-8 advantage and were never threatened.

Chynna Holbrook led the way with 13 points, and Tiffany Crossley added 11 more.

North Gem wrapped up its regular season schedule with a 14-7 overall record and a 7-1 mark in league play.
