The Volcano Vista Hawks will venture away from home to challenge the Farmington Scorpions at 6:00 p.m. on Monday. Both come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Volcano Vista had to skate by with only a three-point margin when they last took the court, which might have inspired the 32-point drubbing they dealt Cibola on Thursday. Volcano Vista really took it to Cibola for the full four quarters, racking up a 69-37 victory. Given the Hawks' advantage in MaxPreps' New Mexico basketball rankings (they are ranked 12th, while the Cougars are ranked 62nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
