Editor’s note: HobbsDailyReport.com posts all complete box scores provided by varsity basketball teams in the South Fork 2A, Northwestern Foothills 2A and Northwestern 3A-4A and has e-mailed requests for reports to the 23 athletic departments of the schools in those leagues.
If you’re interested in seeing boxes from games in those conferences, please encourage the head coaches or someone within the basketball program to e-mail the boxes to chobbs001@att.net as soon as possible after the game.
