Cienega standout Lauren Green pulled a double-double to help the Bobcats defeat Skyline 39-38 at the Red Mountain Holiday Hoops Classic on Wednesday. Green scored 23 points and pulled down 10 rebounds.
Sahuaro senior Dylan Newell scored 21 points to lead the Cougars past Desert View 72-53 at the Sabino Holiday Tournament. The victory moved the Cougars to 14-0 on the year but a 62-54 loss to Ocean View (CA) later in the day ended the win streak.
Sahuaro is still 9-0 in power-ranking games, the only undefeated 5A in the state.
“We play as a family,” Newell said. “We play for each other and it starts in practice. We push ourselves to get better.”
Cholla senior Marcel Dean scored 20 points to get past Palo Verde 56-54.
