Top-ranked Bobcat boys heading to Great Eight
5/8/2010 By: Times staff report
After cruising through two regional games this weekend in Durango, the Ignacio Bobcats are heading Thursday to a repeat appearance at the Colorado 2A boys basketball tournament in Pueblo.
Ignacio, 19-2, will take on Wiggins at 10:15 a.m. Thursday at CSU Pueblo's Massari Fieldhouse.
For the first time in school history, the boys are seeded first in the state tournament.
The winner of Thursday's game goes on to the Final Four Friday at 8:30 p.m., playing the winner of Thursday's Sargent-Limon game. The other boys' teams in the tournament are Lutheran Park, Sanford, Holyoke and Hayden.
The Bobcats defeated Alexander Dawson High School 65-46 Saturday in Durango to clinch the regional title. Alex Herrera let the Bobcats with 18 points, followed by Oakley Hayes with 12.
So students and their families can attend the state games, Ignacio School District will not have classes on Friday.
On Friday, the Times will print a special "Go Bobcats" page to encourage the boys at the state tournament. Business logos are $50 to appear on the page, or business or family names are available for only $25. Call 884-2331 to sponsor a space on the page by noon Wednesday.
