It's been a generation since Pueblo won 19 regular season games and a lifetime since the Warrior magic was so real one could almost touch it. Such was the case Tuesday night when No. 11 Pueblo defeated No. 22 Flowing Wells 62-48 in the first round of the Division III state playoffs.
No. 15 Pueblo and No. 17 Cholla came into the Division III, Section III tournament knowing an at-large state-playoff bid was practically in the bag. The only question would be what team they would play and where and that depended on how the sectional tournament played out.
Tucson extended its season by defeating Salpointe 69-54 in the first game and Catalina Foothills held on to defeat Mountain View 52-42 in the other semifinal.
