This year’s edition of the Bengal Ladies’ Basketball Team is doing what is expected of them by coach Kamau Turner and the fans that follow them everywhere. Girls’ basketball in New Mexico has been growing in popularity, especially in the Four Corners area, where Gallup, Shiprock, Kirtland, Ramah and others within this geographic region have brought home the coveted Championship titles in almost all of the last 20-30 years.

The Miyamura gymnasium was packed with fans from both sides on Feb. 2 as the Gallup and Miyamura boys’ basketball teams faced off.  The game started out close, with a low-scoring first quarter and solid defense on both sides.  In the second quarter, however, Gallup began to pull away, and Miyamura could never quite catch up.  Gallup’s quick transition play racked up points, while Miyamura took a more conservative approach and tried to run down the clock.  Both teams gave great performances, and the fans were thrilled by the show.  In the end, Gallup came out on top, 57-44.
