Mancos sophomore guard Quincy Montoya racked up 11 fourth-quarter points on Tuesday and finished with a game-high 19. After Mancos had its initial 8-1 lead erased by hosting Ignacio\u2019s own 8-0 burst to close out the opening eight minutes, however, Mancos fell behind by as many as nine points before halftime and never led again.<\/p>\n

Ignacio won 66-51.<\/p>\n

With 27 total fouls before intermission and 48 for the entire contest \u2013 resulting in disqualifications of Lady Jay seniors Makayla Wayman (3:34 left in the fourth), Hailey Veach (1:55 left), Justina Bayles (1:38) and Rhiley Montoya (0:59) \u2013 the Lady Bobcats took advantage, making 18 of 32 attempted free throws before senior Avaleena Nanaeto buried an irrelevant, though not completely meaningless, straight-away 3-pointer at the final buzzer.<\/p>\n

Nanaeto booked nine total fourth-quarter points and a team-high 15. Junior guard Laci Brunson \u2013 whose early second-quarter trey gave Ignacio their first real lead at 15-10 \u2013 tallied 13 in support. Going 5-of-6 from the charity stripe, junior forward Harmony Reynolds also finished with 13 points, while sophomore guard Darlyn Mendoza-Lechuga and freshman guard Marissa Olguin (5-13 FT) each netted 12.<\/p>\n

Olguin\u2019s lone triple capped a game-breaking 11-2 run early in the third quarter, as the \u2018Cats expanded their lead from 24-20 at halftime to 35-22. Helped by a Quincy Montoya three-point play, Mancos closed to 39-29 entering what ended up being a high-scoring, near-free-for-all final frame.<\/p>\n

An accurate 6-of-8 from the foul line (MHS was 15-of-26 overall), Wayman also hit double digits offensively in defeat, logging 12 points. With both of the guests\u2019 two treys beside her name, Bayles \u2013 a transfer from 3A Montezuma-Cortez \u2013 would total 11 points, while Rhiley Montoya contributed five.<\/p>\n

Veach and sophomore Mandi Peacock, a fellow starter, were each held to two points, and sophomore Solymar Cosio logged IHS\u2019 other point with one of the Lady Bobcats\u2019 nine vital fourth-quarter FTs in 17 tries. MHS, meanwhile, went just 3-of-5 during the definitive eight regulation minutes.<\/p>\n

Ignacio (4-4, 1-1 2A\/1A San Juan Basin League, 1-0 2A SJBL) has been down-up, down-up, down-up, down-up for the 2021-22 season to-date. The team will next travel to Montezuma-Cortez on Tuesday. Having lost 53-34 at 2A No. 3 Sanford three days before arriving at IHS, the Lady Jays (4-4, 0-1, 0-1) will next see action Tuesday at Dolores.<\/p>\n

Mancos was also scheduled to host Ridgway on Friday, and Mancos was scheduled to play in Ridgway Saturday, but both games have been postponed due to COVID-19 problems in that area. MHS reportedly will now attempt to host the Ridgway on Jan. 29. Feb. 4, has been rumored as a potential date for IHS\u2019 trip north.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
