Friday night gym lights was the scene as Raton hosted the Maxwell Lady Bears and Bears for a two game session in Tiger Gym with the girl’s cowbell up for grabs in the second set of games in the new year.

The Lady Tigers kept it close for most of the first half before the Lady Bears kicked it into high gear and started dropping the ball in the net. Maxwell outscored Raton 17-9 in the first quarter followed by a 19-11 second quarter. The game was also marred by fouls as both teams made several trips to the free throw line. Audriana Apodaca went to the line 10 times while Alex Hoy also made 10 trips to the line where she added nine points.

The second half of the game saw Maxwell add the buckets to pull away by a healthy margin ending the game with a 74-39 score and retaining the girl’s Cowbell.

The boys game saw Raton take the quick lead scoring 21 points in the first quarter with William Berry scoring all of his 10 points in the quarter. Raton held Maxwell to only four points in the quarter scoring 17 points before Maxwell made a single bucket. The second quarter saw both teams go basket for basket and end the first half with a 34-17 score.

Second half action continued the fairly equal scoring trend with Raton besting Maxwell by a single point in each quarter of the second half. Unlike the girl’s game fouls were few and far between  with Maxwell going to the charity line three times more than Raton did making 66% of their shots.   At the buzzer Raton kept the Cowbell with a 57-38 win.
