The team, laden with sophomores and juniors, wound up with a 4-6 district record to take eighth place in the regular season conference race. For the entire campaign Sandia's record was 7-18, a good first-year performance. The seven Matador victories were 56-50 over St. Mary, 61-50 over Rio Grande, 74-66 over Los Lunas, 52-35 over Menaul, 70-36 over St. Catherine's of Santa Fe, 59-54 over Aztec and 54-52 over Bernalillo.
