It’s not often that the “first” of any type of event is a classic — but all of the 4A/5A state duals that come after this one will have a lot to live up to.
Two No. 1 teams were in attendance, but it was 4A No. 3 Pueblo County that emerged through the gauntlet victorious. It came down to the eighth criteria to defeat 5A No. 1 Pomona, but the Hornets can officially claim the moniker of ‘dual state champs’ for 2019.
Again, one day this tournament will be looked back on and applauded — and it might even be the answer to a trivia question.
