In the first half of its Class 2A football quarterfinal game on Saturday night (Nov. 13), top-seeded Phoenix Northwest Christian played with a yawn. The Crusaders were being outhustled by eighth-seeded Phoenix Arizona Lutheran and trailed by a touchdown at intermission. "="">
The second half was a much different story.
"="">
Northwest Christian played with a Jahn.
"="">
That’s Casey Jahn (pronounced yawn), who rushed for 163 of his 203 yards in the second half, along with three touchdowns, as Northwest Christian rolled to a 42-13 victory at home and earned a spot in the semifinals.

Northwest Christian (10-1) will meet sixth-seeded St. Johns (9-2) in a semifinal game on Saturday (Nov. 20) at Phoenix North Canyon High with a 5 p.m. kickoff. Second-seeded Yuma Catholic (11-1) will meet No. 14 Thatcher (7-5) in the other semifinal at 2 p.m.
