The Chinle Wildcats breezed through the Coca Cola Classic, amassing three victories en route to earning the championship at the Wildcat Den.
The Wildcats trounced the Vista Grande Spartans, a Division II school from Casa Grande, 69-58, for the tournament title.
“Winning the tournament championship is great,” said Chinle first-year head coach Brandon Tso. “The guys played outstanding throughout the tournament, the three games they played.”
In the opening round, Chinle stopped the Tohatchi Cougars, 76-46.
“The guys were focused,” Tso said. “The guys shot well in the first half. The defense forced turnovers and the guys converted.”
