Entering the final two games of its Intermountain League schedule with a chance to lock down at least a share of the league title, the Montezuma-Cortez High School boys basketball team stumbled.<\/p>\n

The Panthers\u2019 difficulties began on the road against Centauri on Feb. 8, when, after a competitive first half, M-CHS struggled throughout the final 16 minutes and lost, 70-41. The game was tied 13-13 at the end of the first quarter, and the Panthers trailed 31-25 at halftime.<\/p>\n

Senior Cordell Baer led the Panthers offensively with 14 points and 12 rebounds and junior Adrian Mark chipped in 11 points for M-CHS. Star junior Teagan Whiteskunk was held to a season-low five points and attempted just seven field goals in the contest.<\/p>\n

Freshman Baron Holman led Centauri in scoring with 18 points, and freshman Mason Claunch chipped in 10 points for the Falcons. The win improved Centauri\u2019s record to 16-3 overall and 8-2 in the Intermountain League.<\/p>\n

One day after losing to Centauri, M-CHS traveled to Monte Vista and suffered a crushing 63-62 loss. Whiteskunk led the Panthers in scoring with 18 points and senior Jens Jorgensen chipped in 12 points for M-CHS.<\/p>\n

M-CHS\u2019 loss to Monte Vista was especially disappointing given that the Panthers defeated the Pirates 72-63 earlier this season.<\/p>\n

With its record now at 13-5 overall and 5-5 in the Intermountain League, M-CHS will prepare for its final regular-season game of the season, which will take place against Dolores Huerta Prep in Pueblo on Feb. 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
