The Brownfield Lady Cubs returned home and took on the Lamesa Golden Tornados and suffered their first loss of district 39-26. Brownfield came into the game shorthanded as they were without junior guard Rhianna Miranda who was out with a right foot injury. Miranda’s absence was felt early in the game for the Lady Cubs as they were off to a slow start, fortunately so did the Golden Tors. Both teams were finding some good looks just not able to cash in on them. The first point of the game was scored by Lamesa with 5:40 left in the first and they were leading 1-0 after splitting the pair of free throws. Then a minute and some change later Kaylynn Fininen drained a couple free throws to get the scoring started for the Lady Cubs.

The Brownfield Runnin’ Cubs took on and defeated the Dimmitt Bobcats 67-63 to open district play. These two schools have formed a fun rivalry over the last couple years as in 2020-2021 Brownfield swept Dimmitt which resulted in a district title, and last season the two schools split their games, but Dimmitt would end up winning the district. This year many feel like the district champion will once again be one of these two schools and you could definitely feel the intensity Tuesday night. Both teams established a good pace early on as each got some good looks. As the 1st quarter came to a close it was ended on a 6-0 run after K.J Carrol, and Jojo Carrillo knocked down back-to-back 3 pointers and Brownfield was in front 17-13. The second quarter was a big one for the Runnin’ Cubs as Logan Shrimpton came off the bench and found himself scoring 6 points off a pair of three pointers which was a huge spark for the Runnin’ Cubs. The three-point shot was huge this quarter for Brownfield as the defense struggled some but never relinquished the lead thanks to their three-point shooting. Going into the break Brownfield led 36-28. In the 3 rd quarter Dimmitt came out more aggressive on both sides of the floor using their length to cause discomfort for Brownfield on the offensive side. However, at the end of the third quarter it was still Brownfield who led 47-44. Malik Mason who made his presence felt all night long took it to another level early in the 4 th quarter as he was all over the place, contesting shots, grabbing rebounds on defense and offense and cashing in those offensive boards with points. It was 51-44 when it became a track meet between both schools as each would get good looks and score but couldn’t get stops on defense. With 3:03 left in the game Brownfield still led 61-54. But Dimmitt wasn’t done yet, as they hit timely shots and Brownfield missed some key free throws which led to Dimmitt only trailing by 2 with 7.3 seconds left.

The Lady Cubs hit the floor Tuesday night with one goal in mind and that was to improve to 2-0 in district play, and they did exactly that defeating the Bobbies 54-32. It was back and forth early in the game, but it wasn’t necessarily a game of great offense as both sides could go stale at moments and then in other moments both teams were finding easy looks and cashing in. By the end of the first quarter Dimmitt earned a 13-12 lead. In the 2 nd quarter Brownfield came out a lot more aggressive on the defensive end of the floor doing an excellent job of limiting Dimmitt to one shot offensively and creating a bunch of turnovers. Early in the quarter Brownfield could not capitalize in transition with the good looks they were getting, still trailing 14-16 Brownfield was finally able to get some looks to go in and it would result in them ending the half on a 12-2 run with the Lady Cubs leading 26-16.
