Demons make a stop in Farmington

DHS boys basketball falls on the road

A 7-0 run to begin the game looked to be exactly what the Durango Demons needed to get on track.

A stretch of 13 consecutive made field goals put an end to the Demons’ hopes.

After leading 7-0 early, the Durango High School boys basketball team quickly was on the wrong end of several scoring runs by Farmington High School, as the Scorpions stormed back to earn a 63-37 victory.

Max Pinon led Farmington with 14 points, and Nate Atencio led the Demons (1-4) with eight.

The game was tied at 11 after one quarter, and the Scorpions opened up a 25-19 lead at halftime.

A run of consecutive made shots from the field hit 13 for Farmington, spanning from the second quarter until halfway through the third.

Farmington (4-2) led 48-21 with 4 minutes, 35 seconds to go in the third quarter, when DHS head coach Alan Batiste called for a timeout.

The Demons will hit the road for Pueblo later this week for three games in the Pueblo East tournament.
