Eagles seek faster, better results in Fabens
PECOS, Jan 9, 2001 -- After what happened last year in Fabens, the Pecos
Eagles are probably better off not having to play three basketball games
tonight against the Wildcats, because it would mean a very late trip back
to town if the same thing happens again.
The Eagles will face the Wildcats in girls junior varsity and varsity action
at 5:30 and 7 p.m. CST tonight, with both teams looking for their first wins
in District 2-4A play. Because of a lack of players due to grades, the Eagles
will not play a freshman game tonight.
Pecos dropped their district opener at home on Friday to Clint, 42-27, while
Fabens lost their opener to Canutillo by a 52-31 final score. Lizzy Avila’s
14 points led the Wildcats in scoring.
In two seasons in district, Fabens is the only teams the Eagles have been
able to beat, winning at home last season and two years ago on the Wildcats’
home court. But it was the game last year in Fabens that remains one of the
wildest the Eagles have ever been involved in, a five-overtime 95-90 loss.
The Eagles rallied from a 39-30 deficit after three periods to tie the game
at 52-all, then rallied from five points behind in the third overtime to
tie things at 78-78. By then, both teams began running out of players, and
the Eagles and Wildcats each finished the game with just two on the court,
after Pecos couldn’t take advantage of a 3-on-2 opportunity in the
final period.
Maricela Arenivas led all scorers that night with 41 points, 24 coming in
overtime, but in this past Friday’s loss the senior managed just three
points against Clint and spent part of the game in foul trouble, as did the
Eagles’ other point guard, Kathy Maldonado.
“We’ll see what they do on Tuesday,” said Eagles’
coach Veronica Valenzuela. “It didn’t help when we had both point
guard sitting on the bench together.”
Pecos’ boys are taking tonight off, before beginning their district
schedule on Friday against Canutillo. Both Eagle teams will host the Golden
Eagles that night, with the girls game at 6 p.m. and the boys at 7:30 p.m.
