IHS (6-10, 4-2 San Juan Basin League) beat Mancos 57-54 for its third consecutive win on three consecutive nights.

“Our free throws there at the end really came through,” IHS head coach Shane Seibel said. “It got a little nerve-wracking.”

The Bobcats led by 15 going into the third quarter, but that lead evaporated.

“Mancos made a big charge, and we had a tough time putting the ball in the hoop,” Seibel said.

Gabriela Garcia helped stave off that rush with a team-high 21 points and eight rebounds in the game.

Roshae Weaver joined her in double figures with 12.

IHS next will play at 4 p.m. Friday at Norwood.

The Bobcats will close their regular-season schedule at 4 p.m. the next day at home against Telluride.

“Our growth as a team form day one to right where we’re at today has been leaps and bounds,” Seibel said.
