The La Cueva Bears are taking a road trip to square off against the Capital Jaguars at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. La Cueva knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past six matches -- so hopefully Capital likes a good challenge.
La Cueva is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of New Mexico's top teams: Sandia, who was ranked third at the time (La Cueva was ranked 14th). La Cueva managed an 80-74 win over Sandia on Saturday. The victory almost wasn't to be: the Bears were down 42-27 in the second quarter.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 101-50, which was the final score in Capital's tilt against Sandia on Thursday. The Jaguars have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
