History
The Rayos de Hermosillo took the spot of the Vaqueros de Agua Prieta for the 2009 CIBACOPA season.[2] The last team to play in the city, the Soles de Hermosillo, competed in CIBACOPA from 2003 to 2005.[3]
The Rayos reached the CIBACOPA Finals in 2011, but were swept by the Mineros de Cananea.[4]
Hermosillo won back-to-back titles after defeating the Ostioneros de Guaymas in 2012 and the Garra Cañera de Navolato in 2013, both in seven-game series.[4][5]
In 2019, the Rayos faced the Mantarrayas de La Paz in the league finals. After going down 2 games to 3, Hermosillo defeated La Paz 99–59 in game six[6] before taking game seven by a score of 90–77 to win their third league title in eight years.[5] Terrence Drisdom and Jeremy Hollowell led the team in scoring with 22 and 19 points, respectively, with Hollowell being named Finals MVP.[5]
Media
Rayos home games have been broadcast across the internet since 2010.[7] In 2014, they reached a deal with Megacable to broadcast their home games on television, and they have since switched to Telemax.[7]
