Lady Rattlers Bradi Olivas left and Esperanza Moncayo work on drills during Thursday's practice. The Lady Rattlers will play at 3 p.m., Saturday against Bosque.

The Tucumcari Lady Rattlers will start their basketball season at 3 p.m., Saturday against the Bosque Lady Bobcats.

Lady Rattlers head coach Gary Hittson said the team is not sure what to expect from the Lady Bobcats, who won 38-35 Wednesday night against Santa Fe Prep.

"We will just have to get up there and see what they have," Hittson said. "It's always a tough game playing a team from central New Mexico."

Game Time: 3 p.m., Saturday at Albuquerque.
