Coming off an impressive 2012 season run, the Cibola Lady Raiders have to feel mighty confident. They return tons of experience from a team that went 16-2 and made a short run in last year's state tournament. Their starting infield alone features four seniors that will give them a leadership edge throughout the season.

That edge began in the season opener at Kofa High School. Cibola scored early and often enough to come out with sizeable win; 6-2.
