Records: Lovington 17-6, 3-0, Portales 12-10, 3-1

At stake: Winner takes the district lead.

Last time out: Lovington’s game vs. Ruidoso game was postponed due to snow. Portales beat Dexter 61-17 Tuesday.

Last meeting: Lovington beat 27-25 eight days ago.

Notes: Kenzie Black hit a pair of fourth quarter 3-pointers — her only points of the game — as Lovington rallied to beat Portales in their last meeting. Portales coach Clay Stout said Portales needs to shoot the ball better than in the teams’ last meeting. ... Lovington climbed to second in this week’s Class 3A coaches poll behind Pojoaque. The Lady Rams stayed at No. 5.

What 2 watch 4: Stout said Lovington like to dribble penetrate and kick the ball out for 3s. He said they did a good job on Black in the last meeting until the final few minutes.
