The Monarch Coyotes won their ninth straight game and second of the season against the Front Range League-rival Fairview Knights 70-42 on Friday at the Denver Coliseum.
In February, Monarch, now 24-2, waxed Fairview 62-28, but, as Coyotes coach Gail Hook pointed out, it was a different time and Fairview had some injured players.
Fairview hung tough on Friday in the first half and trailed only 28-23.
“We knew it would be that way,” Hook said.
