Dixon Girls Continue Bid for Golden Empire League Hoop Championship

Dixon High's Girls Basketball team continues its quest for a Golden Empire League championship tonight when it hosts Mesa Verde at 7 p.m.

West Campus of Sacramento holds the GEL lead with a 7-1 mark. The Rams are tied one game back with Capital Christian, of Sacramento at 6-2.

The Rams will finish league play Friday at home at 6:30 p.m. against Marysville.

West Campus faces a challeging final week in its bid to win the championship. The Warriors host Capital Christian tonight, then finish on Friday at Mesa Verde.

If Capital Christian defeats West Campus Tuesday, a Dixon victory over last-place Mesa Verde (1-7 GEL) will result in a three-team tie atop the league standings.

Capital Christian, a 39-36 loser to Dixon last week, finishes GEL play on the road versus Mesa Verde and then Lindhurst.

Dixon is tied with Whitney, of Rocklin, for 13th in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III power ratings. The top 16 teams in next week's final power ratings will earn section playoff spots. If the playoffs were to open today, the Rams would begin tournament play on the road.

Dixon bounced Lindhurst last week on the road, 46-38. Carlene Dyer scored 15 points in the Rams' win.

Dyer connected on four 3-point shots as the Rams stayed within one game of the league lead. Miranda Williams scored seven points for Dixon in the win.

Dixon JV 48, Lindhurst 26: Rebecca Immel scored 10 points as the Rams improved to 8-0 in the GEL.
