Tickets punched! Americas & Chapin advance to regional semi-finals in boys basketball

EL PASO, Texas - The dream of a state title is still alive for the Americas Trail Blazers and the Chapin Huskies.

Both teams advanced to the regional semi-finals after securing victories Tuesday in the regional quarterfinals.

In Class 6A Americas took the win against the Keller Central Chargers by a final score of 44-38.
