McCollum coach Ernest Lopez speaks to his team during Class 5A first-round girls basketball playoff action against Highlands at the Alamo Convocation Center on Monday, Feb. 13, 2023.McCollum’s girls basketball team needed every bit of its offensive depth and some timely free throw shooting to hold off Highlands, 61-53, in a Class 5A Bi-District Round playoff game Monday night at the Alamo Convocation Center.
“I’m really proud of this team,” McCollum coach Ernest Lopez said “We were able to beat the best player we’ve played against all year, and that means something. We’re going to play again this weekend, so we’ll enjoy this win tonight, and we’ll get back to work.” Freshman Noelisa Espinoza was fouled by the Owls and she calmly sank two free throws to push McCollum’s lead back out to 58-50 with 30 seconds to go, but Highlands, which won its last six regular-season games in a row to qualify for the state playoffs for the fifth straight season, wasn’t done just yet.
Five different McCollum players had at least seven points, led by 17 from Jizelle Gonzales. Gonzales had 14 of her 17 in the first half, including nine in the opening quarter, for the Cowboys. Freshman Aaliyah Mancha added 15, including nine in the second half. Espinoza and Brianna Villarreal scored nine apiece, with all of Espinoza’s points coming in the second half.
