St. Michael’s girl’s basketball team prepared for Saturday’s key District 2-3A game at Robertson by hitting the road to Raton Thursday night and returning after a 56-26 romp.
Now 16-7 overall and a half-game behind the Cardinals for the district lead at 4-1, had a quick 12-0 until the Tigers trimmed it to 16-10 at halftime. But following the intermission, the Lady Horsemen broke away with a 40-point second half.
St. Michael’s senior Lauryn Pecos led the way with the game-high 19 points and senior Madison Mossman added 10.
And in boy’s play, Monte del Sol Charter went down 59-43 at Academy for Technology and The Classics.
Elsewhere, Espanola Valley came up short 47-39 at Moriarty, Taos won at Pojoaque Valley, 75-56, McCurdy turned back visiting Penasco, 69-47, and Tierra Encantada lost a 2-0 forfeit
to Albuquerque Menual for its straight forfeit.
