Congratulations to Boy’s Varsity Basketball team for winning the Marana Classic basketball tournament this past weekend.
In games #1, Pueblo avenged an earlier season loss to the Mustang’s of Sahuarita High School with a 61-50 victory.
Game #2 pitted the Warriors against Agua Fria High School. By controlling tempo and out rebounding their opponent, the Warriors defeated the 3rd ranked Owls 73-65.
Game #3, with Pueblo’s 2nd leading scorer Stephen Ponce injured on the bench, the Warriors found themselves at a height disadvantage against a huge team from Melbourne, Australia. Refusing to back down against a front line of 6’8’, 6’7” and 6’6” the Warriors lost their only game of the tournament in OT, 53-52.
In the final game of the tournament, Pueblo faced an undefeated Tucson High team. Behind a solid team effort, Pueblo skinned the Badgers of Tucson High 65-55; thus, winning the tournament.
Special congratulations go out to Mike Perez for leading all scorers with 92 points; a 23 pt. per game average.
Thanks to all those who have supported us this season. We look forward to seeing you at our two games this week: Tuesday, at home against Douglas and on Wednesday at Catalina. (Full Schedule)
Don’t forget to support the Lady Warriors this weekend during the 16th Annual Santa Cruz “Shoot-Out,” Thursday – Saturday in the Lever Gymnasium.

Every year our Road Warriors participate in the Tour de Tucson. We were well represented in this years race on November 22, with two groups participating in the 33-mile and 66-mile start lines. Pueblo students and teachers trained together for this event by organizing weekend bike rides.
As one of the few high schools that take part in this Tucson event, we are proud of all of you that represented Pueblo High by completing your route.
Well done Road Warriors, we look forward to cheering for you next year…
“Welcome home!” “Welcome back to your school!” Those were the heartfelt greetings from current Pueblo students representing Pueblo Athletic Teams, Student Council, and Pueblo Pride Club as more than 50 Pueblo Alumni were welcomed to Si Se Puede Day. The marching band greeted these alumni with a warm welcome in the Little Theater, complete with breakfast and updates from a variety of staff about the progress being made at the home of the Warriors.
Alumni Debbie Felix, Burney Starks, Doug Redmon and the Si Se Puede Day Committee revived Si Se Puede Day where alumni share their experience, careers, and advice with all up and coming Warriors. Alumni who have become teachers, elected officials, business owners, sports announcers told the students about the importance of gaining a reputation as a problem solver and a person that takes pride in their work.
Some notable alumni who attended the event included TUSD Principal Roman Soltero, State Representative Victor Soltero, School Board Member Adelita Grijalva, and Former South Tucson Mayor and Pima County Board of Supervisor Dan Eckstrom. In addition, Soledad Zuzuarregui, Deputy Director for Southern Arizona from Governor Napolitano’s Office, was also in attendance. The Starks family was represented by Burney, Gary, Jacque, and Larry Starks and the Gastellum family was represented by Jerry, Richard, and Robert Gastellum. Debbie Felix stated, “Si Se Puede Day gives the alumni an opportunity to send a message of encouragement and hope to our current students. I feel it is a very valuable experience for everyone involved.”
Some say, “you can’t go home again”. Well, speakers from the class of 1956 all the way to the class of 2006 came home again on November 20th, and gave back to their alma mater, Pueblo High School. Long live this storied Warrior tradition!
