The Mancos Blue Jays are getting a second bye-week this Friday, and they don\u2019t have a say in the matter.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, we don\u2019t want a week off,\u201d co-head coach Bill Parsons said at practice on Monday. \u201cBut after playing Sargent on Friday night, we need a week off. We got some guys that are pretty bruised up and we\u2019ve got some things to work on that we didn\u2019t do too well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last week, the Blue Jays traveled to Monte Vista to take on the 3-1 Farmers, and after a slow start, they found themselves trailing 6-36 at halftime.<\/p>\n
Mancos held the Farmers to eight points in the third quarter and scored six, but the Blue Jays were outscored 24-0 in the final frame, losing the game 12-68.<\/p>\n
Mancos had originally been scheduled to play Shiprock Northwest this Friday, but the Falcons were forced to cancel due to low numbers from players being ineligible.<\/p>\n
But as Parsons said, the Blue Jays can use the extra time off to prepare for next week\u2019s game against Sierra Grande.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to help us,\u201d said co-head coach Josh Gardner. \u201cWe\u2019ve got some things to iron out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
