Tascosa takes down Caprock
After an early open to District 3-5A play last week, girls basketball teams resumed league action Tuesday with a full schedule before the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday.
The Tascosa Lady Rebels had a strong showing at the Frenship Tournament over the weekend and took that momentum to take care of Caprock in a very convincing way cruising to a 67-11 victory Tuesday at the Tascosa Activity Center.
The Lady Rebels opened the game hot going up 19-4 by the end of the first quarter.
Behind a steady offense and lockdown defense, Tascosa then pulled away going on an unprecedented 35-0 run holding the Lady Longhorns scoreless for the entire second quarter and late into the third before Caprock made a bucket at the 1:46 mark to break the drought.
Tascosa’s Deveah Johnson finished with a game-high 17 points to lead the Lady Rebels with teammate Nic’Kiyah Fisher adding 13.
Tascosa (10-1 overall) is off to a 2-0 start in District 3-5A. Caprock (2-7) drops to 0-2.
Amarillo High crushes Coronado
The Amarillo High Lady Sandies are playing very good basketball after a recent trip to San Antonio where AHS went 4-0 last weekend.
AHS came back home Tuesday and used that superb play to crush Lubbock Coronado 71-31 during a District 3-5A matchup at the AHS Activity Center.
The Lady Sandies built a 16-4 lead in the first quarter building that advantage to a commanding 32-11 by halftime.
Senior leader Bella Edwards poured in a game-high 20 points for AHS followed by Kami Soukup with 15 and Ca’Nia Mitchell’s 11 points.
AHS (9-2) is off to a 2-0 start to district while the Lady Mustangs (3-9) slip to 0-2.
In two other district matchups Tuesday, Lubbock-Cooper downed Palo Duro 53-34, and Lubbock Monterey knocked off Plainview 83-60.
