The Morenci Wildcats scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Friday. They were the clear victor by a 60-40 margin over Valley Union. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Morenci also won the last time the pair played back in December of 2023.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Morenci to victory, but perhaps none more so than Adriana Carbajal, who scored 16 points. That's the first time this season that Carbajal scored 15 or more points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jayla Wilson, who scored nine points along with four steals.
