The Broncos are a likely favorite to win the Palomar League.
Rancho Bernardo was the sharper team early, taking a 15-6 lead at the end of the first quarter.
The Vaqueros trailed 31-20 at halftime. El Capitan fell to 1-1.
Sophomore MACKENZIE CURTIS led El Capitan with 21 points, including 16 in the second half.
Junior JORDAN GRANDY had a pair of three-point field goals in the second quarter and finished with 13 points overall, 10 coming in the first half.
Sophomore KYLIE MEAD added eight points for El Cap, while sophomore SHIANA PERES added seven and freshman TIFFANY BICKFORD came home with six for the Vaqueros.
El Capitan will host Rancho Buena Vista at noon on Wednesday.
MOUNT MIGUEL 67, SAN PASQUAL 26 – MICHELLE CORLEY picked up where she left off last season and scored 20 points, including four three-pointers, as the Matadors downed San Pasqual on Tuesday night.
Mt Miguel led 18-4 at the end of one quarter and 37-9 at halftime.
The Matadors earned 30-17 edge in the second half.
SYLENA PETERSON added 18 points for Mount Miguel, while teammate TIAJA BENNETT contributed 12 points.
Senior LALLI GURROLA came home with 10 points.
Still, the performance of his Matadors was not as pleasing to the eyes of discernable coach ROBBIE SANDOVAL.
“I was not pleased with our performance,” Sandoval said. “We had 23 missed layups. We have a lot to improve on.”
FOOTHILLS CHRISTIAN 57, MAR VISTA 42 – No team in the county has as many wins at the Foothills Christian Knights.

Freshman FAITH WILSON had a team-high six rebounds for Foothills.
CARLSBAD 56, WEST HILLS 36 – The Lancers were in control in this one most of the way but the Wolf Pack had an impressive close to the first half to close the lead to 26-21 at intermission.
