Raton hosted the Lady Rams Saturday evening in what started out to be a very close game with Cimarron taking the early lead only to see Raton come from behind and outscore Cimarron 20-2 in the second quarter.
In the first quarter Cimarron had a 9-2 lead with less than two minutes left in the quarter before Raton rallied and brought the score to 8-9. Raton then turned up the burner and rallied to a 20-2 second quarter where Cimarron scored their only two points at the free throw line.
The second half of play saw the Cimarron defense stiffen up and hold Raton to 13 points. Cimarron, however, could only muster eight points of which six came from the free throw line. The fourth quarter was fairly close with Cimarron outscoring Raton 7-5. At the buzzer Raton marked the win column with a 46-26 score.
The JV boys played before the girls and Cimarron came from behind to win that game in the fourth quarter 47-44.
