Defensively, Aztec could not contain Farmington ball movement, and the Scorpions recorded a series of clean looks that translated into efficient scoring.
For local fans and school communities the game offers contrasting takeaways. Farmington’s comprehensive win will bolster confidence and generate momentum heading into the regular season.

For Aztec, the result highlights immediate areas for attention in practice, notably ball security and free throw shooting, if the team hopes to be competitive in district matchups.
