Lady Tigers Mark the Win Column Again

The Lady Tigers tangled with the Lady Dons Thursday night and came away with a little sweet Valentine's Day victory after loosing to West in West by only two points at the buzzer.

Raton started off a little on the slow side trailing early in the game and then wow the right combination fell together and the ball started to fall through the hoop for the Lady Tigers. The girls continued their lead at times pulling out by as much as 20 points.

West not a team to give up easy would make a turnover happen. That often lead to a score and thus closing the deficit on the scoreboard. Yet as the buzzer sounded at the end of the game Raton was the winning team moving their district record up to 3-3 while West dropped to a 2-4.

Raton moves on to Robertson this weekend and will host Taos next weekend to end the regular season.
