Source: The Santa Fe New MexicanDec.迷你倉西貢 14--If experience is invaluable, then the Capital boys basketball team certainly picked up a moral victory on Friday night.After being tied at 14 at the end of the first quarter, the Jaguars went on to lose to Class AAAAA Hobbs 87-47 in the semifinals of the Capital City Invitational in Toby Roybal Memorial Gymnasium. Capital will face St. Michael's in the third-place game at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, leaving Hobbs to play Gadsden in the championship at 7 p.m.The Eagles (5-0) scored 37 points in the second quarter to quickly dash any hopes of a Capital upset, and they went into the locker room at halftime with a 51-24 lead thanks to a deep bench."I think we had more depth than they did," Hobbs head coach Mike Smith said. "Eventually they're going to wear down."The Jaguars (3-4) were broken down by Hobbs' full-court press at the start of the second quarter and didn't make a field goal until the quarter was already half over."They were running the game plan that we wanted them to, but then they started to turn the ball over and that turned into easy shots [for Hobbs]," Capital head coach Ben Gomez said.Forcing the opponent to make mistakes and turning them into points is what the Eagles pride themselves on, and for a good reason. They are averaging just over 79 points a game this season."We try to put teams out of their comfort zone and into our comfort zone," Smith said. "We want to make it a challenge for them to stay with us."Hobbs' fast pace as well as its height -- center Kelvin Jones is 6-foot-10 -- gave an inexperienced Capital team a lot of problems.There are seven seniors on the Jaguar roster, but most of them played junior varsity last season, leaving Gomez to believe that playing a team like Hobbs will speed up the growing process."We're in a process right now where we're trying to find ourselves," Gomez said.迷你倉將軍澳"We can practice all we want and we can preach all we want, but unless we go through this process, [the players] are not going to learn and they're not going to know what we're talking about. It doesn't feel good, but it's important that we go through things like this."It doesn't feel good, but at least it takes away some of the growing pains.Gadsden 37, St. Michael's 25The Horsemen only mustered three points in the second and third quarters combined in their semifinal loss to the Panthers.Gadsden went on a 12-1 run in the third quarter to pull away from the Horsemen (2-1) after being tied with them 11-all at halftime.St. Michael's cut the lead to 28-23 with two minutes left in the game, but that was as close as they got as Gadsden pulled away again.Willy Contreras led the Panthers with 12 points, while Justin Flores led St. Michael's with nine.Santa Fe High 61, Santa Fe Prep 51The Demons avenged a 10-point loss to the Blue Griffins in last week's Al Almendariz Classic at Capital High School with a 10-point win of their own to set themselves up with Deming in the fifth-place game at 12:30 p.m. Prep will face the Santa Fe High junior varsity in the seventh-place game today at 9:30 a.m.William Lenfestey had a game-high 21 points to lead the Blue Griffins while Keanyn Evans had 15 to lead Santa Fe High (1-6) to its first win of the season.Deming 73, Santa Fe High JV 62The biggest surprise of the tournament so far was the Santa Fe High junior varsity having a 37-36 lead over the Wildcats at halftime.Deming (5-2) took control of the game in the second half thanks to 20 points from Carlos Wilson and 19 from Dominic Saenz. Vito Coppola led the young Demons with 18 points.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Santa Fe New Mexican (Santa Fe, N.M.)
