Freshman Ida Valencia led four Pecos girls basketball players in double figures with 16 points as the Lady Panthers picked up a 56-40 home win against Santa Fe Preparatory in District 2AA on Wednesday.

Valencia added seven steals while Brittany Gallegos finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Diamond Montaño chipped in with 11 points and three blocks. Point guard Kiana Trujillo had eight points and four steals, assists and rebounds.

Pecos (13-8, 2-2) assumed a commanding 36-12 lead at halftime, but the Blue Griffins (5-15, 0-3) used an 18-5 run in the third quarter to make things interesting.

"Our first half was one of the worst first halves we've played all year," said Anika Amon, Prep head coach. "It was pretty horrific."

Amon said the Griffins were held to six points until the final minute of the first half. They scored another six in the final 45 seconds.

Things changed dramatically in the third quarter. Prep's Olivia Cicci had 11 points in the third quarter, including three 3-pointers. She had a team-high 14 points and helped Prep get within seven at one point.

Maddie Fort finished with 11 for the Griffins.

"We expended so much energy getting back into it that we didn't have anything left," Amon said.

BOYS

LAS VEGAS ROBERTSON 71, WAGON MOUND 56

A late addition to the Cardinals' schedule became necessary when Robertson's next opponent, Santa Fe Indian School, dropped its scheduled stop in Michael Marr Gymnasium because of a scheduling conflict.

Enter Wagon Mound, which came in with the No. 2 ranking in the latest Class B poll. The Trojans hung tough for three quarters -- but it was the first period that truly mattered.

Robertson (14-8) used a 23-8 spurt to open the game, then basically exchanged baskets for the next three quarters en route to the nondistrict win.

Justin Bustos had a team-high 16 for the Cardinals. Josh Brito added 12.

Chris Cruz had 22 to lead Wagon Mound (14-5). Eric Holguin added 20.
