to take on CC Winn for the
last contest of the district
season.
After senior night
festivities, CC Winn took a
senior heavy approach to
their lineup with Eduardo
Nava, Germán Velasquez,
Juan Cardenas, and Braulio
Caballero leading the way.
“We had a slow start
to the first quarter, but really
got rolling,” said Coach
Paulo Valero, “We went on a
24-4 run, outscoring Harlan
32-19 in 16 minutes of
action.” Unfortunately, a
bad 1st quarter doomed the
Mavericks and the uphill
climb was too much, and
Harlan was able to come
away with a 46-67 win.
The Mavericks were led by
Junior Diego Rodriguez,
who led the team in scoring
with 14 points, 4 rebounds
and 2 assists, all while
guarding their 6'8" center.
Senior Juan Cardenas had
the game of his life, hitting 2
key 3s while hitting Jairo
Maldonado for a key assist
in the 2nd quarter to get the
Mavericks rolling.
Sophomore Alex Rodriguez
hit 2 deep 3s on 3 attempts
finishing with 7 points.
Senior Eduardo Nava
capped off his career with 3
points while Senior Germán
Velasquez finished with 2
points and Braulio Caballero
capped off his career with a
huge block on their center,
who was attempting to go up
for the dunk.
The Mavericks shot over
90% from the line hitting
16/17, led by junior Moe
Gaytan who went a perfect 8
for 8 from the line. His running
mate Jairo Maldonado
finished 4/4 from the line.
The Mavericks will
hit the off-season running
with key testing, fundamentals,
and adjustments to both
their offense and defense.
