The Morenci Wildcats will head out on the road to face off against the Valley Union Blue Devils at 5:30 p.m. on Monday. Hopefully Morenci focused on turnovers this week since the team gave up 33 on Monday.
Last Monday, things could have been worse for Morenci, but they could have been a whole lot better as they took a 46-27 loss to St. David. Morenci has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Jayla Wilson put forth a good effort for the losing side as she scored 8 points along with 4 steals.
Meanwhile, Valley Union came up short against Tombstone on Thursday and fell 42-34.
San Carlos' victory bumped their season record to 0-0 while Morenci's defeat dropped theirs to 0-1.
Morenci was able to grind out a solid win over Valley Union in their previous meeting back in December of 2022, winning 53-40. The rematch might be a little tougher for Morenci since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
