Pueblo High School’s girls basketball team, 29-2, reached the Class 4A Final Four with a playoff victory Friday night. It’s the first time in school history the Warriors have reached the girls basketball Final Four, and it isn’t a shock. Izzy Galindo‘s club has gone 73-9 the last three seasons. It hasn’t been easy this season; the club’s top scorer, senior Alicia Reyes, who once scored 57 points in a game as a sophomore, has missed the last 17 games with a finger injury. While Reyes sits out, Galindo’s daughter, Ilyssa, Summer Fox, along with Jasmine Belt and Mariah Clark, have combined to average 42 points per game. The showdown with Flagstaff, which is also 29-2, will be at 2:15 p.m. Friday at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.
