Two dominant guards in Jevon Aguilar and Nolbert Cervantes are getting ready to go toe-to-toe. Having just played yesterday, the Hagerman Bobcats will get right back to it and host the Jal Panthers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Keep an eye on the score for this one: the two teams posted some lofty point totals in their previous games.
It was a proper cat-fight when Hagerman took on Elida on Thursday. Hagerman really took it to Elida for the full four quarters, racking up a 69-28 win. The Bobcats have made a habit of sweeping their opponents off the court, having now won ten matchups by 20 points or more this season.
Meanwhile, Jal came up short against Texico on Tuesday and fell 63-56. The Panthers haven't had much luck with the Wolverines recently, as the team has come up short the last five times they've met.
Hagerman has been performing well recently as they've won seven of their last nine games. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 62.1 points over those games. Jal's loss dropped their record down to 14-11.
Hagerman didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Jal in their previous meeting on February 3rd, but they still walked away with a 54-48 victory. One of the biggest obstacles the team faced in that game was Cervantes, who posted 24 points and six steals. Now that he's got a second chance to win this matchup, will Hagerman still be able to contain Cervantes? There's only one way to find out.
