“I was pleased with that considering the size of the meet,” she
said.
Morse said having such a good meet before the district competition Jan. 26-27

Bears split with Marfa, face Ft. Davis
PECOS, Jan. 16, 2001 -- The Balmorhea Bears will return to District 9-A play
tonight with a road trip down Highway 17 to face the Fort Davis Indians,
after splitting a couple of non-district home games this past Friday against
another Highway 17 team, the Marfa Shorthorns.
Balmorhea’s girls evened their season record at 7-7 with a 42-27 victory
over Marfa, while the boys lost for only the third time this season, 54-48
to the Shorthorns.
Teri Hernandez scored 23 points and Celina Rodriguez added 12 for Balmorhea,
which jumped out to a 7-1 lead after one period and never trailed. The Bears
were up 15-4 at the half, and while the offense picked up in the third period,
Balmorhea still maintained a 29-18 lead.
“The closest Marfa got to us was the opening minutes of the fourth
quarter when they got to within eight,” said Bears’ coach Gary
Gallego. However, the Bears were able to shut down the Shorthorns’
rally, as Hernandez went 9-for-10 from the free throw line in the final period.
Gallego said the Bears were also able to shut down Marfa’s leading
scorer, Stacy Hibbetts, most of the night. “Joanna Garza did an excellent
job against her,” Gallego said, as Hibbetts was held to just seven
points while post Linda Carrillo led Marfa with eight.
No individual scorers were available for the boys, who fell to 9-3 on the
season, with two of those losses coming at the hands of the Shorthorns. Going
into tonight’s games at Fort Davis, both the boys and girls teams are
1-0 in district, after homecourt victories last Tuesday over Sierra Blanca.
Eagle cagers host Lobos tonight
PECOS, Jan. 16, 2001 -- The Pecos Eagle girls showed the proper way to lose
a big lead this past Friday and still get a victory. The El Paso Mountain
View Lobos demonstrated the wrong way to do it, while Pecos’ boys never
had the lead in their game against the Canutillo Eagles.
Tonight, Pecos’ girls will try and win for the third straight time
in District 2-4A play, while the boys and both Mountain View teams will try
to bounce back from Friday losses, when they meet in varsity games at 6 and
7:30 p.m. at the Pecos High School gym.
The Eagles blew a 20-5 second quarter lead over Canutillo and found themselves
behind by the time the third period was two minutes old. But that gave them
enough time to regain their composure and pull out a 41-38 victory, their
second in three district games.
Mountain View, meanwhile, came into Friday’s game against Clint with
a 14-2 record, and held a 30-22 lead going into the final period, when they
fell apart, getting outscored 21-2 by the Lions and losing, 43-32. It dropped
the Lobos into a tie for second with Pecos, a game behind 3-0 Clint.
Mountain View’s boys then went into the final period of their game
against the Lions with a 40-33 lead, only to get outscored 18-9 and lose,
51-49 in the district opener for both teams. Pecos, meanwhile, had their
problems in the third period, when a 10-0 run by Canutillo to start the quarter
powered the visiting Golden Eagles to a 59-42 victory.
Canutillo used their guards to create turnovers and overcome the absence
of their only tall player, post Eddie Hita. Tonight, coach Tino Acosta’s
team figures to have to deal with 6-foot-7 post Dustin Maloney, who put in
17 in Friday’s loss. Arturo Muniz, whom the Eagles will remember from
football season, added 14 in the loss.
Pecos’ girls will match up a little better against Mountain View size-wise,
and will try to contain guard Suzy Alba and post Diana Gonzalez, who was
the only Lobo to score in double figures on Friday, finishing with 11.
Play will open tonight with the junior varsity games at 4:30 p.m. in the
old and new gyms. The Eagles’ freshmen boys team will then face Mountain
View at 6 p.m. in the old gym, while the girls’ varsities play in the
new gym.
