The Runnin Cubs remain undefeated in district play through three games after downing the Golden Tornados 62-46. There are so many different words or phrases that come to mind when talking about Brownfield vs Lamesa on the basketball court a couple of those being “big time rivalry” and “instant classic.” Both of those were exactly how you would describe Friday’s meeting between the two schools. It was a fast-paced game right out of the gate, but early on it was in favor of Lamesa who scored the first 6 points of the game capitalizing off winning the tipoff, a Brownfield missed shot, and a Brownfield turnover. JoJo Carrillo would help settle down the Cubs as he would open the scoring and after seeing that first bucket fall there was a sense of calmness for the team. Both schools would continue to run up and down the floor till Lamesa called its first timeout of the game as they held a 12-10 lead with 2:45 left in the first quarter. The time would wind fast with Lamesa outscoring Brownfield 7-5 in the final 2:45 of the quarter and they had a 19-15 lead going into the second. Brownfield would open the second frame on a 7-0 scoring run making the score 22-19 in favor of the Runnin Cubs that would be ended by a Golden Tornado free throw, but that would be there only point for a while as they endured a scoring drought thanks to Brownfield doing a great job holding Lamesa to one shot on many possessions and forcing them to turn the ball over as well. Lamesa however would fight back some before going to the halftime break sparking a 5-0 run, but Brownfield still led 27-25. Out of the break the scoring slowed down a bit due to both teams running some sets in the half court and turning the ball over. But Brownfield would end the 3 rd quarter on a 9- 2 run and led going into the last frame 45-31. Just when you thought Brownfield could pull away Lamesa was able to tighten up the defense and go on a 13-2 scoring with the score now being 47-44 still in favor of the Runnin Cubs but there was still plenty of game left with 4:52 on the clock. Fortunately, everyone for Brownfield stepped up when their number was called and slammed the door shut going on a huge 15-2 run and winning the game 62-46. Brownfield was led in scoring by Malik Mason with 15, while Pedro Rodriguez finished just behind him with 14, Jeron Lawrence put up 11, and KJ Carroll and JoJo Carrillo had 9, and 8 respectively. The Brownfield Runnin’ Cubs will be back in action Tuesday night as they’ll be in Littlefield taking on the Wildcats. Tipoff is set for 7:30 and a livestream broadcast of the game can be found on brownfieldcubs.com
Read moreThe 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.
