Players of the Durango High basketball team, from left Sebastian Mack, Sterling Knox, Shane Thomas, Elijah Johnson, Tylen Riley and Taj Degourville, take a portrait during the Las Vegas Sun’s High School Basketball Media Day at the Red Rock Resort and Casino, Nov. 1, 2021.

The Durango High basketball team made its way to the state tournament in the last contested season, upsetting Coronado in the regional tournament on the way to an appearance in the state semifinals.

The Trailblazers return a few contributors off that team and expect to again compete for a championship.

Coach Chad Beeten and his players talk about the expectations.
