Watch out No. 1s

It's not easy being No. 1.

Three top seeds have played so far at The Pit today. Two lost and another was taken to triple overtime.

Perhaps the most surprising upset came from boys Class 3A No. 4 seed West Las Vegas. The Dons have beaten district rival St. Michael's before, but the Horsemen always seem to win when it counts.

Not today.

West Las Vegas hit several big 3-pointers in a 56-48 victory. Check out the difference in three point field goal percentage ...

West Las Vegas: 67 percent (8-12)
St. Mike's: Five percent (1-21)

A few moments ago girls Class 2A No. 2 seed Texico earned the first state championship of this tournament. The Wolverines beat No. 1 Navajo Prep, 55-45.

This morning, on the boys side of Class 2A, defending champion Mesilla Valley Christian needed
three overtimes to finish off No. 5 Santa Rosa, 83-81. The Lions had a chance to tie the game at the end, but the shot missed.

Here are the other scores ...
