As expected, the top two seeds in the Class 4A girls bracket went to Kirtland Central and Gallup.
The two squads are the premiere teams in that classification, as the New Mexico Activities Association released the entire state bracket for boys and girls Sunday evening.
The district got four teams into the playoffs, with Newcomb, Navajo Prep, Crownpoint, and Tohatchi making the 16-team 3A state bracket released Sunday by the New Mexico Activities Association.
The latter three were seeded in the top 8 as they get to host the first-round games on Saturday.
The Mustangs were 4-of-31 from long range and 0-of-10 from the free-throw line Saturday night as it came up short to top-seed Chandler Valley Christian 65-44 in the 3A state title game.
