FINAL: Hope Christian 71 Sandia Prep 27
RECAP
From the get-go Hope Christian put on display why they're the number one team in Class 4A. Exposing a clear height advantage Hope jumped out to a 25-6 lead in the first. The Lady Huskies defense kept the Sundevils from penetration and made them settle from distance. Unfortunately for Sandia Prep, they would have serious shooting woes from distance including from one of the state's leading scorer, Madie Trainor who finished her final game with only 1 point. Both teams played their benches through the second half until Coach Rael subbed in his seniors for one last possession late in the fourth quarter.
