The Big Park girls basketball team continues its supremacy on the court with a perfect record, a dominating win and preparation for the biggest game of its season.

The Coyotes are now 9-0 after beating cross-valley rival, the Clarkdale-Jerome Mingus Rams 43-8 Tuesday, Jan. 8, on their home court. If it beats Camp Verde on Thursday, Jan. 10, Big Park will win the league with three games still left in the season.

The Coyotes are playing with low numbers, and Head Coach Kirk Westervelt worries about having enough healthy players to grasp the state championship. Big Park only had seven girls playing at Tuesday night’s game, and one of them, Hannah Ringel, was playing with a broken finger. One girl was sick, one was ineligible and another was moved down to the B-team.
