The Madera Coyotes girls basketball team jumped out to a 15-3 first quarter lead over the Reedley Pirates, and rode that to a 35-28 victory in the Madera South Showdown Shootout. 

The Coyotes shot 30 percent from the field that included going 0-for-7 in the fourth quarter with eight turnovers. However, Reedley wasn’t much better. They made two field goals and only outscored Madera 4-3 in final period last Friday afternoon. 

Janyah Spotwood led the Coyotes with 11 points, nine rebounds and four steals.
