Jan. 26, 2008 Clovis basketball capsule
Published: Friday, January 25th, 2008
What: Rio Rancho (8-9) at Clovis (17-0).
When: 7 p.m. tonight
Notes: It’s a tough weekend for the Rams, who are coming off a 100-80 loss last night at Hobbs, ranked second in the Albuquerque Journal Coaches’ Poll. Tonight, they face Clovis, the poll’s top-ranked team. ... Rio Rancho defeated Clovis twice en route to the 5A title last year, so Clovis coach J.D. Isler is sure the Wildcats won’t take the Rams lightly. “I think our kids are going to be really motivated for that game,” Isler said. ... Rams guard Marcus Williams is the state’s No. 3 scorer at 24.1 points per game.
Quoteable: “They lost some pretty important players, but they still have Marcus Williams and Chris Newsome. I don’t think they’re quite as uptempo as they were last year.” — Isler.
