The Quemado Eagles will challenge the Animas Panthers at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Quemado has three straight wins, Animas has 17 straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the court.
While Quemado's victory against Carrizozo wasn't quite the blowout it was the last time the pair played, they still came out on top. The Eagles escaped with a win on Friday against the Grizzlies by the margin of a single free throw, 1-0. Those one points were actually the fewest the Eagles have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
Meanwhile, Animas had to suffer through a 61-17 loss at the hands of Cliff. While losing is never fun, the Panthers can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Mexico basketball rankings (they are ranked 131st, while the Cowboys/Cowgirls are ranked 24th).
Animas' defeat dropped their record down to 2-21. As for Quemado, their win bumped their record up to 20-5.
