Clovis Christian guard Julia Roberts scores off a turnover as Mosquero’s Talya Jeffrey defends on the play in the second quarter of Wednesday’s District 4-1A playoff game at Clovis Christian Schools. The host Eagles defeated Mosquero 55-31.

Clovis Christian had no plans of playing catchup tonight.

The Eagles jumped out to a 12-5 first quarter advantage, and cruised to a 55-31 District 4-1A tournament victory over Mosquero Wednesday night at Clovis Christian’s gym.

Jennifer Schaap had a game-high 24 points, to go with 14 rebounds and five blocks for the Eagles, who have won five straight and 10 of their last 11.

“We talked about the fact that every time we played them before, we had to play catchup,” Eagles coach Max Kralicek said. “They like to slow things down. We forced them to play our tempo, and that was a big difference on defense. We made them play the way we wanted.”

Clovis Christian moves on to face Grady in a Friday 7 p.m. championship game. Both teams receive a berth in the state basketball championship.

Lauren Douma scored 15 of her 16 points in the first half, as Clovis Christian took a 32-11 lead into the locker room.

Erin Hoyoz led the Pirates with nine points.
