The Capital Jaguars will venture away from home to challenge the Manzano Monarchs at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The two teams have had a bumpy ride up to this point with four consecutive losses for Capital and six for Manzano.
It's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 60-20, which was the final score in Capital's tilt against La Cueva on Thursday. While losing is never fun, the Jaguars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Mexico basketball rankings (they are ranked 70th, while the Bears are ranked tenth).
Meanwhile, Manzano had to suffer through a 76-24 loss at the hands of Sandia. The match marked the Monarchs' lowest-scoring game so far this season.
Manzano's loss dropped their record down to 10-13. As for Capital, their defeat dropped their record down to 7-17.
Capital won a contest that couldn't have been any closer in their previous matchup two weeks ago, slipping by Manzano 57-56. The rematch might be a little tougher for Capital since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
