Coconino was not able to break out of their rough patch on Tuesday as the team picked up their sixth straight loss. They were four points away from ending the streak, but they lost a 44-40 heartbreaker at the hands of the Thunderbird Titans. The Panthers were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Titans apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in November of 2023.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Thunderbird to victory, but perhaps none more so than Isabella Illingworth, who dropped a double-double on 15 points and ten rebounds. Roscella Tsosie was another key player, putting up 11 points and three steals.
Coconino's loss dropped their record down to 6-16. As for Thunderbird, they have been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 13-11 record this season.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Coconino has already played their next game (against Bradshaw Mountain), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Thunderbird will be playing at home against Greenway at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. One thing working in Greenway's favor is that they have posted at least 55 points in their last three matches.
