The Holbrook Lady Roadrunners picked up their 21st win of the season Tuesday night, holding off visiting Snowflake 52-45 on Senior Night. The Lady Lobos led 13-12 at the end of the first, then Holbrook forged a tie at the half. The Roadrunners were able to get the ball inside to Rochelle Nez in the second, where she netted 11 of her game high 22 points to keep the Birds in the game. Teyah Goldtooth took over scoring in the paint for Holbrook in the third as the home team edged out to a four-point lead heading to the final period. The Roadrunners slowly pulled away in the fourth, thanks in part to a nifty three-point play from Ariyana Pratt. In the final two minutes Holbrook spread the Lobos out and worked for some efficient, game clinching layups. “Senior Night always scares me with girls basketball,” said Coach Greg Perkins. “These ladies who are really good players and who have done so much for this program over the years sometimes get too emotionally involved before the game and lose focus on the task at hand. That was the case tonight, plus the fact that Snowflake has been playing well. “We just didn’t play up to the level we have been in recent games. We did force feed the ball into Rochelle in the paint where we had a good match up and we were able to get the win. It wasn’t pretty, but it was still a win. “Now we can turn our focus to the final game at Alchesay on Friday and look toward the post-season, which will begin on Tuesday for us, most likely against Snowflake in the opening round of the sectional tournament,” said the coach. Nez lead all players in scoring with 22 points. Goldtooth added 12; Pratt, 5; Summer Olney, 4; and Laurie Brown, Cheyenne Lester and Quanyyah Lester, 3 each. The Roadrunners made just one three-point shot and went 13 for 17 at the free throw line. Snowflake was led by Tycee Coplan with 15 points. Kadi Johnson added 10; Tori Flake, 9; Marisa Godfrey, 6; and Melissa Eich, 5. The Lobos made five treys and went four for six at the line. The Roadrunners improved to 21-7 on the season and will close out the regular season against Alchesay tonight (Feb. 6) in Whiteriver. They will see Snowflake again on Tuesday, Feb. 10, in the first round of the sectional tournament in Show Low.
