The Madera Coyotes girls basketball team faced the Clovis East Timberwolves for the second time in three days and suffered a worst fate in a non-conference game in Joe Flores Gym.<\/p>

After a 38-34 loss to the Timberwolves on Jan. 6, the Coyotes fell victim to a 13-0 second half run in a 49-33 loss Monday.<\/p>

\u201cThe run isn\u2019t a run if we make layups,\u201d head coach Jason Smith said. \u201cWe counted it up between the coaches and we were like 4-of-21 from inside the paint in the second half. We were getting shots two and three feet away. We have to score. That run isn\u2019t a run if we can make those shots. We missed a few putbacks, as well.\u201d<\/p>

Clovis East had three players in double figures, while the Coyotes had just one \u2014 Janessa Fernandes, who scored 10 points.<\/p>

\u201cWe got the shots we wanted,\u201d Smith said. \u201cI can\u2019t put the ball in the hoop for them.\u201d<\/p>

Lexi Carmona added eight points and Camile DeAnda scored seven.<\/p>

However, once the Timberwolves started rolling, the Coyotes couldn\u2019t do anything to counter the attack.<\/p>

\u201cI have three rules: Be coachable, outhustle the competition all the time and have a good attitude,\u201d Smith said. \u201cAs a group, we broke all three of those rules tonight. Once we started missing those shots, our attitude went down, we start getting outshustled. If we don\u2019t violate those three rules, it\u2019s a different game.\u201d<\/p>

The Coyotes fell behind early in the game, but two free throws from Alyssa Fernandez and a driving bucket by Carmona tied the score at six. After a Clovis East bucket, Carmona made another driving bucket, but the Timberwolves added a free throw for a 9-8 lead at the end of the first quarter.<\/p>

After Clovis East scored the first points of the second quarter, Fernandes made a bucket and Madeleine McNeil made a free throw to tie the game at 11.<\/p>

The Timberwolves opened a 15-12 lead before the Coyotes went on an 8-0 run.<\/p>

Perez started the run with a layup off an assist by BriAnn Houghton. Carmona made two free throws and Fernandes made two layups, the second with a spin move, for a 20-15 lead.<\/p>

However, a pair of turnovers led to four Clovis East points for a 20-19 lead at the half, the same score in their previous game at halftime.<\/p>

Carmona opened the second half with a jumper, but the Coyotes wouldn\u2019t score again until there was about a minute left in the quarter.<\/p>

In the meantime, Clovis East went on a 13-0 run for a 32-22 lead. Fernandes stopped the run with a driving layup. Clovis East then hit a 10-foot jumper and a layup.<\/p>

DeAnda scored the final points of the quarter with a 3-pointer just inside half court at the buzzer for a 36-27 Clovis East lead. In the quarter, the Coyotes went 3-of-18 from the field.<\/p>

The Timberwolves scored the first six points of the fourth quarter for a 15-point lead.<\/p>

Fernandes made another driving layup. Alyssa Fernandez got a steal and turned it into a layup. DeAnda scored on a layup for a 6-0 run to cut the lead to nine with about three minutes left in the game.<\/p>

From then, the Coyotes missed five shots, two free throws and committed three turnovers while Clovis East closed the game with seven straight points for a 49-33 victory.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
