Staff Writer
PECOS, Dec. 5, 2000 -- The Pecos High School Swim Team had good dual meet
with Monahans over the weekend beating both the Loboes' girls and boys
teams on Friday night.
The Eagle girls outscored Monahans by a score of 120 to 44 and the boys
beat the Loboes by a score of 133 to 27.
"I felt better after this meet than after the Monahans Invitational,"
Head Coach Terri Morse said. "I think we did a better job in the water.
Our attitude seemed better."
Morse said that overall the team seems to be getting over the illness
that has been plaguing them for weeks.
She said those who have been sick seem to be doing better as well as the
kids coming in from other sports.
"The ones coming in from other sports are starting to look better," she
said.
Morse said with the Christmas holidays coming up the kids need to have
good workouts before and during the holidays. Pecos' last pre-Christmas meet
is this Saturday in Seminole.
"I'm going to be really looking closely at the kids events," she said.
The Pecos girls won all three relays with the B teams following close
behind.
The A team of JoAnn Wein, Rachelle Eisenberg, Rebecca Wein and Sarah Flores
led the pack in the 200-yard medley relay. The B team of Misty Cason, Ashley
Carrasco, Rebecca Reynolds and Chyloe Martin placed third in that race.
For the 200-yard freestyle relay, the A team of Betsy Lujan, Lauren Wein,
Cason and Kelsey Holt placed first while the B team of Rebecca Wein, Tina
Grice, Martin and Jessica Minjarez followed taking second.
The A and B teams took first and second in the 400-yard freestyle relay
as well.
The A team of Jo Ann Wein, Holt, Eisenberg and Flores placed first, and
second place went to the B team of Lujan, Rebecca Reynolds, L. Wein and Minjarez.
The C team of Rebecca Wein, Martin, Cason and Grice finished fourth in that
race.
Minjarez placed second behind MacKenzie Miles of Monahans in the 200-yard
freestyle and was second in the 500-yard freestyle behind JoAnn Wein who
finished first.
Wein later won another first in the 100-yard backstroke, ahead of her
sister, Lauren, who finished second. Lauren placed third in the 200 free
behind Miles and Minjarez while Grice finished fifth.
Grice took home third in the 100-yard butterfly behind Rebecca Wein who
took first.
Reynolds was second after placing fifth in the 50-yard freestyle. Eisenberg
finished second in that race.
Flores took home first in both the 200-yard individual medley and the
100-yard breaststroke.
Like the girls the boys' relays finished first in all three relays.
The A team of Tye Edwards, Jason Lopez, Will Oglesby and Cortney Freeman
took first in the 200-yard medley relay ahead of the Monahans, while the
B team of Gary Garcia, Wesley Roberts, Max Key and Trey Edwards finished
third.
In the 200-yard freestyle relay the A team of Grant Holland, K.W. Winkles,
Randall Reynolds and Freeman finished first ahead of Monahans with the B
team of Oglesby, Garcia, Daniel Quintana and Roberts finished third and the
C team of Key, Michael Juarez, Adrian Puertas and Leroy Rodriguez, which
was fourth.
The A team of Reynolds, Lopez, Holland and Tye Edwards took first place
in the 400-yard freestyle relay.
That team was ahead of the second place B team of Oglesby, Trey Edwards,
Quintana and Winkles while the C team of Key, Juarez, Puertas and Roberts
placed third.
Quintana started out the individual events with a first place in the 200-yard
freestyle and also took home second in the 500-yard freestyle just behind
Reynolds who finished first.
Reynolds also won the 200-yard individual medley just ahead of Holland,
who was second there and in the 100-yard breaststroke, behind Lopez and ahead
of Roberts.
Lopez finished second in the 50-yard freestyle, just short of Freeman's
first place time.

second place. He also finished second in the 200 free, while Edwards won
the 100 yard free, with Freeman third.
Eagles hunt first winat Permian
PECOS, Dec. 5, 2000 -- The Pecos Eagle girls basketball team will hope
going on the road does for them what it did for the Eagle boys, as
they try to get their first win of the season tonight against the Odessa
Permian Panthers.
The Eagles and Panthers meet in Odessa starting about 7:30 p.m., with
Pecos trying to get win No. 1 after home losses last week to Monahans and
Presidio, the latest by a 68-62 score on Friday.
The Eagles had problems with ballhandling and defending against back door
passes in the first half, falling behind by as many as 15 points. They rallied
in the second half behind the shooting of guard Maricela Arenivas, who finished
with 27 points, but allowed Presidio too many rebound baskets and never got
closer than five points down the stretch.
Odessa Permian, meanwhile, is also struggling, though they're doing better
than a year ago, when they beat Pecos after dropping their first 10 games.
The Panthers are 2-7 right now, and will have the homecourt advantage this
evening, though the Eagles have already faced Permian once, during scrimmage
play.
"We did better against Permian than against Monahans in the scrimmage,
but we never know what they're going to do in a real game," said Eagles coach
Veronica Valenzuela. "Their game is getting the ball into the post, because
they've got a couple of big girls, but defensively they were weaker than
Monahans."
Last season, Permian beat Pecos by a 73-48 score, in a game the Eagles
trailed by only a 31-27 score at halftime. Most of the Panther starters off
that team are gone, but one, Natasha Moore, was one of three Panthers in
double figures with 11 points.
Tonight's game is the first of four on the road for the Eagles this week.
They'll be at the Sandhills Tournament in Monahans starting on Thursday.
Pecos' boys, who lost their first three games of the season at home before
winning their road opener, are off tonight, and will also be in the Monahans
tournament this weekend.
