Pearsall then opened league play on Friday and dropped a 14-point decision to the Coyotes.

Uvalde took the early lead, racing out to a 10-5 first period advantage. The Mavericks rallied in the second, getting buckets in the paint to pull even at the half at 15-15.

Uvalde outscored the Mavs 15-9 in the third to retake a 30-24 lead going into the fourth.

The Coyotes then pulled away in the fourth as they erupted for 26 points in the final stanza, outscoring Pearsall 26-18 down the stretch.

The Mavericks were at Carrizo Springs Tuesday evening for their second league outing and will return home this Friday, January 6 to host Pleasanton.
