Division III
#1 SCA at Show Low
Show Low hasn’t had a ton of success this season and it’s not likely they will tonight either. SCA has won 11 straight in state against highly regarded teams in multiple divisions. Expect them to continue their successful ways.
Division IV
Alchesay at #5 Northwest Christian
The Falcons come in hot winning 17 of their last 18 contests including a convincing win over Northland Prep which allowed them to rest some of their key contributors. The Crusaders, however, are coming out of a brutal 62-59 loss to Yuma Catholic. Look for Alchesay to come out on top due to the fact that they have been well rested. This is their opportunity to crack the top five.
#2 Phoenix Country Day at Pusch Ridge
Country Day has been hot, led by senior guard Andrew Ekmark. The #2 ranked team had a big time win over Coronado earlier this week before thoroughly defeating Joy Christian on Thursday. Pusch Ridge has also been very good in recent weeks, gathering a statement win over Pima last week. However, you can expect a rested Country Day to come out on top.
