LOCAL GLANCE (Jan. 15): Girls Basketball, Boys Soccer

San Pasqual's Ceara Ingraham scored 11 points and had 12 rebounds in the Warriors 35-30 win over Tonopah Tuesday, but it was her final two free throws that were the highlight of the night.

Ingraham was fouled, and in the process her glasses came off and were stepped on, but she still had two shots at the line. Ingraham blindly sunk both of the foul shots putting the game out of reach for Tonopah.

Marissa Miller also scored 11 points for the Warriors.

Kofa beats San Luis

The San Luis girls basketball team gave Kofa all it could handle but the Kings ended up with a 49-43 overtime win on the road Tuesday night.

Adly Wiley scored 17 for the Kings (7-3) and Jacky Fuentes added 10 points. Kathya Cazarez scored 12 for San Luis and made the basket that forced overtime.

“We got into foul trouble real early, but I have to hand it to San Luis, they played a hell of a game,” Kofa coach Mary Kaye Garcia said.

Brazeel powers YC

Madison Brazeel scored 24 points as the Yuma Catholic girls basketball team won at Gila Bend 40-22 on Tuesday.

Antelope routes Ajo

Antelope took care of business against Ajo Tuesday night and recorded a 57-15 victory.

Amelda Maynes led the Rams with 11 points and each of the other Rams had six or eight points.

“It was a good team effort,” said Rams coach James Jones. “We just played together as a team for the first time, looking for the extra pass and getting the ball there.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

Cibola survives Havasu

Noah Thompson got a key steal and layup to lead the Cibola boys basketball team to a road 42-40 victory at Lake Havasu on Tuesday.

With about 2:30 left, Brett Boyer hit a 3-pointer to tie the game. As the Knights were bringing the ball up court, Thompson got his steal and converted the layup. Cibola never trailed again.

Coach Tim Keller said the whole team, and Boyer specifically, played strong defense.

“We took a lot of good shots tonight, we just didn't make many of them,” Keller said. “But we played well defensively down the stretch. Our assistant coaches did a great job of breaking down (Havasu's) offense. We knew what they were going to do and had them pinned dead to rights. Whatever they ran we knew what was coming, and that was thanks to the assistant coaches.”

Jordan Mitchell had 15 points, five steals and three assists for the Raiders. Steven Loucks had 11 points, two steals and three blocks.

Senior Dillon Chavez lit it up from behind the 3-point line for the Gila Ridge basketball team and the Hawks beat Yuma High 67-55 on the road on Tuesday.

Chavez hit five 3-pointers for 20 points while junior point guard Marcus Weeks had 22 points and seven assists and senior wing Kevin McCullough added 11 and nine rebounds.

“Dillon was a spark plug out there,” Gila Ridge coach Joe Daily said. “He really opened up the floor with his shooting.”

For Yuma High, Andre Phillips returned to action with 15 points and Sedric Rash chipped in 11.

Shamrocks top Gila Bend

Carter Rodriguez had 19 points and eight assists to lead Yuma Catholic to a 68-44 win at Gila Bend on Tuesday.
