MORENCI — This season might not have been everything they hoped for, but the Morenci boys basketball team grew together as a unit and took some big steps forward over the course of Garrett Benjamin’s second season as head coach.
“I think we took a step in the right direction as far as growing together as a young corps,” Benjamin said.
MORENCI — A near-perfect regular season led to the second regional championship in a row for the Morenci girls basketball team.
The Bulldogs made it all the way to the Elite Eight before falling to Genesee Christian in the state quarterfinal. As impressive as that was, head coach Ashley Joughin said the expectation the players set for themselves was even higher.
