Organ Mountain takes control of district race with win at Las Cruces

Organ Mountain senior guard Aidan Pacini hit a pull up 3 with 1:28 left to break a 49-49 tie and hit a pair of free throws with 5.7 seconds left to give the Knights a 54-51 win at Las Cruces on Thursday to give the Knights a regular season sweep of the Bulldawgs and take control of the district race.

"We lost to Alamogordo (on Monday) and this game right here determined it's either us or them," said Pacini who scored 18 points on Thursday. "It's my senior year. I didn't want to lose. I want the district championship. Big shot. Had to make it."

Organ Mountain improved to 7-1 in district play and the Bulldawgs dropped to 6-2 with both losses coming to the Knights.

"It helped us a lot, especially with us letting us know we could actually beat them and compete with Cruces helped us," Pacini said.

The game was tied at 38-38 entering the fourth quarter as the Bulldawgs erased a nine-point third quarter deficit.

It was tied at 47-47 and then at 49-49 before Pacini pulled up from the wing for a triple.

The Bulldawgs made it 52-51 on a Suge Valles (six points) drive with 1:17 left. Valles was fouled on the play but didn't make the free throw and his drive to the paint with 14 seconds left missed and Organ Mountain pulled down the rebound with 14 seconds left.

Pacini hit his free throws with 5.7 seconds left to give the Knights their second win over the Bulldawgs this season.

"For me I didn't want to put that pressure on the boys, but in the back of my head, I knew if we lose this game, that puts us in second and somebody else might beat us and maybe we don't even make the playoffs."

The Las Cruces girls basketball team rebounded from a loss to Centennial to improve to 5-1 in district play and Mayfield dropped to 4-2 in district play.

"We felt like we didn't play like ourselves against Centennial," said Bulldawgs guard Emma Christiano, who scored 10 points on Thursday. "We are definately on a redemption tour, we are going to run the table and I feel like my team picked it up tonight."

With the game tied at 20-20 at halftime, senior Yesenia Baylon scored all 10 of her points in the second half with six points in the third to give the Bulldawgs a 34-24 lead entering the fourth quarter.

Mayfield struggled with Las Cruces High's ball pressure, but the Trojans got as close as 34-29 on a Lyric Corona (11 points) 3-pointer with 4:54 to play.

But Baylon hit another mid-range jumper and Beth Quinones hit a triple with 2:43 left to push the lead back to 10 points.

"Our defense definitely sparks our offense so if we are off defensively, it's hard to start our offense," Christiano said. "It's all about matchups in this district. You can be playing man one night and 1-3-1 the next night. Tonight we ran everything."

Organ Mountain ends Las Cruces High's 28-game district win streak

Organ Mountain boys basketball coach Rocky Gonzales had never beaten Las Cruces High at three different schools before Monday night.

The Knights improved to 15-3 and snapped Las Cruces High's 28-game district win streak with a 39-36 victory on Monday at Organ Mountain High School.

"On a personal level, it's a big weight off my shoulders," said Gonzales, who had faced Las Cruces High as the head coach at Mayfield and Gadsden. "Hopefully it shows a little bit of how hard we have been working over here."

Since the 2017-18 season, Las Cruces was 61-1 in district play regular season games entering Monday with the lone loss in 2019-20 to Organ Mountain.

Monday was Las Cruces High's first district loss this season as the Bulldawgs dropped to 2-1 in district play.

"As a team, I think we are confident now that we could get them, but in the lockerroom, we are talking about why are we giving up shots down the stretch when we know how potent they are behind the arc," Gonzales said.

Organ Mountain took a 34-23 lead into the fourth quarter, but the Knights took the air out of the ball and the Bulldawgs outscored Organ Mountain 13-5 in the fourth quarter.

Organ Mountain didn't score until Brandon Kehres hit two free throws with 1:42 to play after a 3Elliot Cisneros 3-pointer made it 34-29.

Organ Mountain was 5 for 8 from the foul line in the fourth.

"I didn't like how we finished," Gonzales said. "I was trying to see if they were going to pressure us so I wanted to go spread and we tried one on one to attack the basket, but weren't able to finish and turned it over a couple times. Little things that normally I have seen us convert on that in the fourth quarter."

Aiden Pacini led the Kngiths with 14 points with three made 3s as the Knights connected seven times from long range.

Caleb Carr led the Bulldawgs with 11 points, David Cruz sscored eight points and Cisneros had six points.

"We have some goals as far as getting into the playoffs and they (Las Cruces) are in the way one of our goals of trying to get a home game," Gonzales said. "For us, it kind of solidifies what we think we can do."

Las Cruces led from wire to wire, but held just a 17-11 lead after a low scoring first half that ended when Mayfield's Lyric Corona (14 points) hit a 3-pointer as the second quarter expired.

Mayfield's Lorrena Viarreal made it a two point game early in the third, but the Bulldawgs pulled away, outscoring the Trojans 31-15 in the second half to win the District 3-5A opener against rival Mayfield at LCHS.

"Once we settled in and the kids bought into what we are trying to do, they were attacking a little differently and made the extra pass and we scored some points off turnovers, which we kind of thrive on," said Las Cruces coach Lori Selby, whose team is 11-4. "It was low scoring and we couldn't buy a bucket. I think the difference was we were able to make some adjustments at halftime and our kids came out and just executed."

Mayfield dropped to 8-8 on the season.

Las Cruces guard Emma Christiano hit back to back jumpers in the fourth to push the lead to 28-15 as she finished with a game-high 20 points with 14 points in the second half.

Lila Ashida scored 16 points, connecting on a 3-pointer and a lay up to give the Bulldawgs a 24-15 lead after three quarters.

"It was very important, especially against our rivals, Mayfield," Ashida said. "They are such a good team. This win was really important to us. It set the tone for us and what we can acheive this season."
