The Ignacio High School girls basketball team has won as many games in the last three days as it did all season before that.
IHS (6-10, 4-2 San Juan Basin League) beat Mancos 57-54 for its third consecutive win on three consecutive nights.
“Our free throws there at the end really came through,” IHS head coach Shane Seibel said. “It got a little nerve-wracking.”
The Bobcats led by 15 going into the third quarter, but that lead evaporated.
“Mancos made a big charge, and we had a tough time putting the ball in the hoop,” Seibel said.
Gabriela Garcia helped stave off that rush with a team-high 21 points and eight rebounds in the game.
Roshae Weaver joined her in double figures with 12.
IHS next will play at 4 p.m. Friday at Norwood.
The Bobcats will close their regular-season schedule at 4 p.m. the next day at home against Telluride.
“Our growth as a team form day one to right where we’re at today has been leaps and bounds,” Seibel said.
