The Pojoaque Elkettes ended their quest for perfection with a 44-38 win over Portales to win the Class AAA state title for the second straight year.
Jackie Bartleson scored a team-high 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead Pojoaque. Janelle Roybal added 10 points as Pojoaque took a 22-17 lead after the half, then outscored the Rams 12-3 in the third quarter for a 34-20 lead.
Portales scrambled late in the fourth to get to within 44-38, but a Dionna Montoya bucket off an Ellen Cruz no-look pass settled the matter, for all intents and purposes.
Pojoaque finishes the season 31-0 and is the third girls team this decade to post a perfect record.
