Artesia extended their postseason success on Wednesday against Valley. They snuck past the Valley Vikings with a 41-37 win. This was a revenge game for the Bulldogs: when they faced off against the Vikings back in December of 2024, they had to take a 50-46 loss.
Defeat or not, Valley got some senior leadership from Angelito Villa and Luciano Mondragon. Villa posted 14 points, while Mondragon had 14 points and three steals. Mondragon is becoming a predictor of Valley's success: when he posts at least three steals the team is 3-1 (and 12-14 when he doesn't). Carter Monroe was another key player, putting up six points.
Artesia has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 19-9 record this season. The loss snapped Valley's winning streak at five games and leaves them with a 15-15 record.
Coming up, Artesia and Espanola Valley will face off at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday without much rest, having both just played. Artesia will be up against Espanola Valley's rather soft defense (which has allowed 55.55 points per game), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance. Valley does not have any more games scheduled as of now.
