Jaguars´ late surge beats Griffins, 16-8
The Cooperative junior varsity girls basketball team locked horns Tuesday afternoon in their home gym with a determined International team that trailed by only a single point at the end of the third quarter.
However, the Jaguars put on a 10-point spurt in the fourth quarter and ultimately prevailed 16-8 in the Jaguar gym Tuesday.
The game started slowly, reminding fans of the early days in the league when getting to double digits was considered a grand accomplishment, and a one-point lead was formidable. Each team was only able to notch a single basket in the first period. and the score was only 4-2 in favor of the Jaguars at the half.
The Griffin girsl actually "won" the third quarter, scoring three points to Cooperative's 2, cutting the Jaguar lead to a single point, 6-5.
But the Jaguars got untracked in the final quarter, scoring 10 points to International's three, as Giovanna Varalta found the range and hit for eight of her 12 points. Audrey Saucedo and Macarena Valdes scored a basket each for the Jaguars during the game.
The Jaguar JV is not the scoring machine it once was because many of its players have been promoted to the varsity.
International's scoring was provided by Diana Maria Salman, who scored 3 points, as well as by Carolina Baldivieso and Lucia Londoño, who had a field goal each, and Laura Gioto who made free throw for one point.
