At times during its home game against Ignacio on Jan. 15, the Mancos High School girls basketball team produced positive results. A handful of nice passes led to easy layups, and consistent defensive energy resulted in several steals.<\/p>\n

However, the Lady Jays were unable to match the Bobcats\u2019 talent level, and after four quarters, Mancos lost, 56-21. The loss dropped the Lady Jays\u2019 record to 0-10 overall, and the Bobcats improved to 6-4.<\/p>\n

Among the brightest moments for the Lady Jays was a solid first 11 minutes during which the team limited its turnovers and consistently attacked the basket. A free throw by Mancos junior Isis Jaime with 4:31 left in the second quarter cut Ignacio\u2019s lead to 16-9, and it appeared as if the game would remain competitive.<\/p>\n

The wheels came off over the next four minutes, however, as Ignacio closed the quarter on a 17-2 run keyed by Lady Jays turnovers and several uncontested fast-break layups.<\/p>\n

The onslaught continued in the third quarter as Ignacio outscored Mancos 14-1 and opened up a 49-12 lead. Senior Rosie Concepcion controlled the paint for the Bobcats, and sophomore Ebonee Gomez drilled several jumpers.<\/p>\n

During the final four minutes, Mancos received a boost from sophomore Tia Imel, who knocked down a high-arcing three-pointer from the left corner to cut Ignacio\u2019s lead to 56-16. On the Lady Jays next possession, Jaime drilled a three-pointer from the left wing to cut Ignacio\u2019s lead to 56-19.<\/p>\n

The Lady Jays then treated their fans to a final highlight when senior Captain Ericka Peacock stole the ball and drove the length of the court for a layup and the final basket of the contest.<\/p>\n

Next up for Mancos will be a home matchup against Ouray on Jan. 18. The Lady Jays then will square off against Ridgway at home on Jan. 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
