Clovis Christian fell to 6-10.

Logan hosts a key district matchup Thursday against No. 1-ranked Melrose (14-1), the defending Class 1A champion.

“We had a slow start in the first quarter, but then we got rolling,” Griffiths said. “(We) shot the ball as a team really well and locked in defensively.”

Dora fell to 6-8.
