近距离内射合集

RIO RANCHO 鈥� Neither of the semifinals on Tuesday night at the Rio Rancho Holiday Hoops Classic produced much in the way of fireworks or down-to-the-wire theater.

Hopes will be much higher for a tight finish when No. 3-ranked 近距离内射合集 Vista (7-1) and the undefeated, fourth-ranked Rams (7-0) meet for the tournament championship on the last day of 2025.

鈥淔our-time state champ, district rival, let鈥檚 go,鈥� Rio Rancho coach Steve Heredia said.

The District 1-5A rivals roll into Wednesday鈥檚 2 p.m. final following convincing semifinal victories on Tuesday. The Hawks, as one might expect, dominated 3A Navajo Prep 59-24. Rio Rancho in the late semifinal won 74-59 over Sandia in a game that wasn鈥檛 as close as the score would indicate.

Neither the Rams nor the Matadors were at full strength for this matchup. Sandia鈥檚 injuries at the guard position have been well documented; Rio Rancho鈥檚 6-foot-5 senior power forward, Cayden Richardson, missed the game because he turned an ankle in the walkthrough earlier in the day, Heredia said, adding that Richardson is unlikely to be in uniform on Wednesday.

But Heredia said he does believe Richardson, the team鈥檚 leading scorer and rebounder in the early portion of the season, will be back in time for next week鈥檚 metro tournament.

He wasn鈥檛 missed much Tuesday.

The Rams鈥� Zeke Chavez nailed a 3-pointer six seconds into the game and Rio Rancho never trailed. It opened the game on a 7-0 run, and added a 9-0 run later in the first quarter, keyed by another 3 from Chavez.

鈥淲e got contributions from a lot of different players,鈥� Heredia said. 鈥淣o one statistically is standing out, but we鈥檙e getting contributions deep in our bench and we鈥檙e playing defense.鈥�

Sandia (6-4) hung around, and in fact was only down 10, 35-25, into the final minute of the first half.

But Chris Lucero, and then David Santistevan, both nailed 3s in that last minute and the Rams carried a 41-25 lead into halftime.

Rio Rancho put the game away with an 11-0 run to open the third quarter, with Chavez connecting on yet another triple. He scored the final seven points of that run (17-0 total including the end of the first half), for a commanding 52-25 lead.

鈥淲e play team-first basketball and that鈥檚 what works for us,鈥� said 6-5 junior forward Noah Lovato, who led the Rams with 19 points. 鈥淲e share the ball really well.鈥�

Chavez finished with 15 points, and 6-6 senior Kayden Decker, working inside effectively, added 14 points.

In the first semifinal, 近距离内射合集 Vista was out quickly on the Eagles, leading by 14 in the first quarter. Senior Finley Fitak buried three 3s in the opening eight minutes for the Hawks. Fitak finished with five 3s and a team-best 15 points. Houston Brown added four 3s and 14 points.

But it was junior forward David Lunn who led 近距离内射合集 Vista with 21 points. All the starters were out by the start of the fourth quarter, when the Hawks led 57-21 and the clock was already running.

Also Tuesday, Del Norte routed Valley, and Hope Christian did the same to St. Pius.
