The Yucca Valley High School Lady Trojans basketball team returned to the court for the first time in twelve days and were handed a 70-30 loss to Ellensburg HS from Washington in a first round game at the Rancho Mirage Holiday Tournament.
The Bulldogs are the two time Division 2A Washington state champions and are riding a 62 game winning streak as they came to the desert looking to continue their unbeaten season.
