Monterey downs Tascosa in 2-5A showdown
It wasn’t the way Tascosa wanted to start a big week of District 2-5A action.
With Amarillo High looming Friday, the Lady Rebels were unable to pull off the season sweep of a very talented Lubbock Monterey squad falling on the road 60-44 on Tuesday night.
The Lady Plainsman (29-4 overall) gained a measure of revenge from a loss to Tascosa in the first meeting. Monterey also keeps pace with Amarillo High atop the district standings at 12-1.
The Lady Rebels (26-4) fall to 10-2 in league play and now turn their attention to crosstown rival AHS on Friday.
The second quarter was the difference in Tuesday’s contest. Tascosa led 12-11 after the first quarter until the Lady Plainsman took control late in the second to go up 26-22 at the half.
In the second half, Monterey kept its foot on the gas building a 42-32 advantage by the end of three and never looking back.
Top Division I prospect Aliyah Chavez finished with a game-high 26 points to lead the Lady Plainsman. Tascosa’s Alex Carter poured in 12 points with teammates Emily Sims and Tryssa Dowd each scoring 10.
