Scores from last night

Cleveland 37, Cibola 31

Kudos to Cleveland for making it to the district tournament championship game in their inaugural season. Lead by Sara Hattis’s 14 and Courtnie Latham’s 9, the Storm now gets to travel to Gallup and take on the tough Lady Bengals in an even tougher place to play. I wonder how effective Hattis will be with Gallup swarming all over her.

With Cibola’s Chapman out with a broken foot the bench needs to step up and produce (I posted about earlier this season.) Cibola’s Amber Battle lead the Cougars with 9 points before she fouled out. Elyse Brewster had 6 before she fouled out.

Rio Grande 49, Manzano 46

I did a double take; both Sanchez and Macias with only 11 apiece? Luckily Jocelyn Gamboa was able to put down 20 to help the Ravens get past the up-and-coming Manzano. Nice peformance from Lady Monarch Caroline Lantor, who lead her team with 15.

Next up for the Ravens is Kya DeGarmo and the Eldo squad. The Ravens need Sanchez, Macias and the rest of the squad to be in top form to have a chance at the might Lady Golden Eagles tonight.

Texico 37, Santa Rosa 35

Another close one for the Wolverines, senior guard Victoria Richards was able to lift Texico over the scrappy Lions on a three-point play.

Games to Watch

A quick rundown of games to watch:

Mayfield @ Las Cruces 7:00 PM

This is the fourth regular season meeting between these arch-rivals. Las Cruces has been able to hold off the Lady Trojans thus far, but Mayfield made a game of it in their last match-up.

Hatch Valley @ Socorro 5:30 PM

These two have split the regular season, each winning on their home court.

Cleveland @ Gallup 7:00 PM

Cleveland played them tough in their last match-up, Cleveland’s Latham and the rest of the Storm will really need to step it up to make this a game.

La Cueva @ Sandia 7:00 PM

Sandia, #3 in the state, takes on the always-relevant Bears.
