EDITOR'S NOTE: The 3A boys state semifinal game between No. 10 Snowflake and No. 3 Coolidge has been rescheduled for 3:45 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, at Arizona Veteran's Memorial Coliseum after a Pinal County judge granted a temporary restraining order in favor of Coolidge High School being reinstated into postseason play. This change is reflected as of 12:23 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27.
PHOENIX — The Madhouse on McDowell is always a fun time this year with state playoff action in full swing during February Frenzy and Friday's matchups should be fun to watch even for the casual basketball fan.
