Erie High School students, families, and community members packed the gym on Friday, January 23, filling the stands with cheers and Tiger pride for the Girls and Boys Throwback Basketball Game double-header.

Hosting the game in the former school gym brought the Tigers back to their roots, creating a meaningful connection between past and present. As Erie faced off against the Broomfield Eagles, the evening became a celebration of tradition, community, and the legacy of Erie athletics. With longtime supporters and current students sharing the stands, the night honored the history of the program while showcasing the spirit that continues to define Tiger basketball today.
Despite facing tough competition from the Broomfield Eagles, the Tigers played with determination and heart until the final buzzer. While Erie did not come away with a win, various individual performances stood out. Junior, Tyler Firebaugh led the boys’ effort with 12 points, while Senior, Juliet Slater paced the girls with 13 points. The throwback game brought the Erie community together, reminding everyone in attendance that Tiger pride runs deep, on and off the court.
