The Coconino boys basketball team built off of its strong showing in last weekend’s Beyond Basketball Thanksgiving Tournament for a 72-61 comeback victory in its home opener against the Cactus High School Cobras Tuesday night at Roth Athletic Center.

The victory marked back-to-back seasons where the Panthers won their home opener and consecutive years in which Coconino defeated Cactus in the opening weeks of the season. Fourth-year Panthers head coach Cooper Elliott had his team prepared for its first showing in front of home fans.
