The Raton varsity girls took to the court on Saturday, January 20th as one of four district games at Tiger gym including the JVs.\u00a0The Lady Tigers did a good job handling the Lady Panthers taking the lead for most of the first quarter before a very aggressive team woke up and began putting the pressure on to disrupt the Raton rhythm. Down by three the Lady Tigers continued to battle but and stay close going into half time down by six.<\/p>\n

The third quarter was the Lady Tiger’s undoing as Pecos put on the pressure and a very aggressive style of play forced the turnovers and missed shots. Pecos outscored Raton 22 to seven in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. The Lady Panthers continued to force the turnovers which often times resulted in points. At the final buzzer it was Pecos 70 to 45.<\/p>\n

The varsity boys game went much like the JV boys game did with Pecos playing an aggressive style of ball putting the pressure on early. Pecos forced several turnovers and held Raton at bay allowing only six points to their 26 in the first quarter.\u00a0 Pecos continued their style of play into the second quarter again forcing turnovers and keeping Raton from shooting the good shots.<\/p>\n

Raton scored double digits in the third quarter but found it tough to even get to the bucket in the fourth with Darien Lewis scoring the only two points of the quarter on a short turn around jumper in front of the goal. At the buzzer it was a 76 to 28 win for Pecos who continues their dominance in 3A basketball.<\/p>\n

The JV girls took to the court first Saturday afternoon and had the best game of the day for Raton as they came from behind and ended the game down by one.<\/p>\n

The Lady Tigers trailed all the of the game at times by as much as 12 points but they continued to work at and in the fourth quarter began to close the gap on the Lady Panthers. With a little pressure and some good shooting it came down to the end as the last shot up brought Raton to within one. The final buzzer sounded to end the game as ball was airborne but fell short had the shot made it in Raton would have won the game.<\/p>\n

The JV Boys game was a totally different game as Pecos put the press on to begin the game and didn’t let Raton past half court for the first two minutes of the first quarter. By the end of the first quarter it was a 25-4 ball game,\u00a0a\u00a0shell shocked Raton JV team never could recover and ended the game 69-31.<\/p>\n
