A third quarter push by top-seeded Logan Lady Longhorns put the To’hajiilee girls in a bind.

When Kirtland Central and Gallup meet in March, the stakes are usually high. Saturday night at The Pit, a state title was on the line once again.

Friday’s showcase between the top girls programs in New Mexico Class 3A was nothing short of a high-stakes thriller.

The sixth-seeded Rehoboth Christian Lynx defeated No. 2 Pecos 51-46 in the Class 2A semifinals Friday morning at The University of New Mexico Pit to earn a spot in Saturday morning’s state title game.

The wait is finally over.
After three rounds, the New Mexico Class 4A girls state basketball crown will be decided between two of the state’s most storied programs.
