From the bottom of the bracket to the top of Class 3A girls basketball: The Santa Fe Indian School Lady Braves took their fanatical fans on a ride to remember.
SFIS, a school with an enormous fan base but until now, no state championships, finished their improbable climb through the State Tournament field with a 42-37 win over two-time defending champion Portales on Friday night. SFIS won its first title in its first season as a member of 3A. The Lady Braves were in 2A for years but moved up this year as their enrollment increased.
