What happened: It’s one thing to rally from a 24-point deficit. It’s another to do that, then lose with no time left on the clock. That’s what happened to the Panthers, who found themselves down 32-8 after one quarter before clawing their way to tie the score at 61-all in the final moments. Then, the Bears’ Floyd Romero was fouled just as the clock expired, and hit the free throw to advance to the consolation championship.

Top players: Elias Archibeque led Peñasco with 23 points, Orren Floyd had 24 points for Maxwell, Tristan Pierce added 15 and Romero scored 11.

What’s next: Peñasco (0-3) plays Wagon Mound for seventh place at 10 a.m.
