Hagerman    10    7    19    16    —    52

Leading scorers — Texico, Lucas Walthers 22, Seth Bailey 17, Brett Anderson 10. Hagerman, Edward Montoya 17, Isaac Bejarano 13, Jesse Medrano 11. 3-pointers — Texico, Bailey. Hagerman, Bejarano 3, Medrano 3, Montoya 3.

Records — Texico 26-3, Hagerman 23-4.

Notes: Hagerman hit seven 3-pointers in the second half to keep the game interesting, but Bailey scored on a give-and-go with Jose Posada and Brett Anderson converted a three-point play with just under two minutes to go to seal the win. ... The Wolverines held Bejarano to half his season average. ...  Texico coach Richard Luscombe said Texico handled Hagerman’s fullcourt pressure well early, which allowed the Wolverines to grab a 17-point halftime lead. “Mario Posada did a great job of handling the ball,” Luscombe said. … Walthers scored 15 of his game-high total in the first half, including several baskets after Texico had beaten the press. … A committee will seed Class 1A and Class 2A today. Luscombe thinks the Wolverines will get one of the top four seeds in the eight-team field.


Class 1A

Fort Sumner 75, Logan 54

Fort Sumner    19    17    20    19    —    75

Logan    15    12    16    11    —    54

Leading scorers — Fort Sumner, Berry Stinnett 25, Zach Kenyon 13, Rawley Stallard 10. Logan, Brandon Rafool 23, Taylor Smith 11. 3-pointers — Fort Sumner, Christian Pettigrew 2. Logan, Rafool 4, Smith 3, Rylan Calbert 2, Cimmaron Osborn.

Records — Fort Sumner 18-9, Logan 17-10.

Notes: The Longhorns led only once at 3-2 in the first minute on a 3-pointer by Smith. The Foxes took the lead for good on the next trip on a 3-pointer by Pettigrew. … With the Longhorns relying on 3-pointers, Fort Sumner held a big advantage from the free throw line — 25-for-34 to Logan’s 4-of-5. … Logan got within a point late in the half, but Fort Sumner outscored the Longhorns 12-4 in the final four minutes for a nine-point lead. Then, with the score 47-40, the Foxes went on a 9-0 run fueled by seven points from Stinnett, and the margin was never under double figures after that. … “I felt like we kind of wore them down,” Fort Sumner coach John Wootton said. “I think they got a little tired (in the second half), and we started getting some turnovers.”


Dora 63, Clovis Christian 43

Clovis Christian    11    11    11    10    —    43

Dora    17    10    17    19    —    63

Records — Clovis Christian 12-16, Dora 23-5.

Notes: The Coyotes are making their third consecutive appearance in the 1A quarterfinals at The Pit. They lost to Gateway Christian in the 2007 championship game, and were beaten in the quarters last year by Animas. … CCS took a 6-4 lead early on 3-pointers by Burris and Broome, but the Coyotes went on a 13-5 run the rest of the quarter and never trailed again. “We were getting to the rim and not finishing,” Dora coach Ty Thatcher said of the first few minutes. … Dora went 18-for-24 from the free throw line to 10-of 14 for the Eagles. … Lieb went 8-for-10 from the line, including 6-of-6 in the final period. … Jeremy Butler sparked Dora’s third-quarter run, getting seven points and setting up teammates for several baskets. “Jeremy’s penetration (to the basket) gave us some good looks,” Thatcher said.
