The Daily Times staff

FARMINGTON — After six long weeks, the Navajo Prep Eagles finally hit their home floor for the first time this season — coasting to a 58-28 win over Crownpoint tonight to open District 1-3A basketball action.

Prep kept getting key defensive stops on the outer wings, setting up plenty of high-percentage scoring chances from there.

The Eagles opened the game on a 28-5 run and didn't look back.

Prep (9-7, 1-0) will resume district play 7 p.m. Wednesday at Wingate.
