Now, only a junior, Reyes broke the 1,000-point career mark and Loya reached 1,000 career points Friday night at Cholla and Galindo might match that total later this year. Things have changed.
Immaculate Heart is having one of the best starts in school history and the Knights are doing it without much fanfare. It’s difficult for a “small school” with less than 100 enrolled to get much publicity as it is, but it’s hard to ignore a 12-4 record.
Buena survived a scare Monday night to improve to 10-0 on the year. Rincon/University (3-9) led 18-13 after the first quarter and only trailed 49-47 with 3:38 left in the game but the Colts pulled together down the stretch to avoid the upset, winning 62-53.
Taylor Thompson scored 34 points Thursday night to lead The Gregory School over Valley Union 51-18. The victory gives the Hawks (8-1) a 3-0 record in the 1A South Region. The loss came against 3A foe Sahuarita (34-33) in the preseason Boyd Baker Tournament.
Pueblo standouts Alicia Reyes, Araceli Loya and Ilyssa Diamond Galindo are on the verge of passing the 1,000-career point mark in the same year. Almost unheard of.
No longer considered a “small school” Walden Grove made the jump from Division III to 4A this year and things appear to be going pretty well for the school from Sahuarita. The Red Wolves improved to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in power-ranking games thanks to a 51-45 win at Mountain View Marana Thursday night.
