The Cortez boys basketball team defeated Valley Christian, the defending State Champions, with a score of 83 to 69, to secure the title of Division III Section III Champions. The Colts have not been Section champions since 1989, when now head varsity coach, Tarik James, was a freshman at Cortez. During last year's State championship playoff game, Valley Christian edged out the Colts who took home their first ever State Runner up trophy. The number 2 seeded Colts will have a bye in the first round of State playoffs, but will be playing on February 20th against the winner of the February 17th Tuba City/Yuma Catholic game. Congratulations and Good Luck!
