Before Christmas, the team participated in the annual Alamosa Shootout playing Alamosa, Buena Vista, and Pueblo Central. Losing to Pueblo Central after back to back games in one day.
After Christmas break, basketball was fast on the road of good games and fun trips. Sanford faced 2A teams such as Center, Sargent, Del Norte, Antonito, Sangre De Cristo, La Veta, South Park, Crested Butte, and Custer Coutny along with 3A Pagosa Springs and the annual Toilet Bowl game against Centauri.
After stealing the league title, Sanford faced Center, Custer County, and Del Norte to win District Champs and secure the home floor advantage in Regionals.
Limon, Rocky Ford, and Telluride traveled to Alamosa for Regional play. Sanford won against Limon first and Rocky Ford beat Telluride to play head to head for the Regional Title and a ticket to the Elite 8. Sanford defeated Rocky Ford and lived to play another day.
Seeded #7 matched with #2 Akron, many were not expecting the Indians to make a big splash at this year’s tournament having lost in the first round the past two years previous. However the Indians whooped the Rams 50 to 31 proving they were a threat.The Indians went on to beat Rye in the Final Four by 45-34 to play in the Championship against Evangelical Christian Academy.
