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.
