Sahuaro improved to 9-2 on the year thanks to a 56-50 win at Tucson High Thursday night. The victory moved the Cougars one win closer to the quick start (10-2) they experienced last year but the team is hoping to avoid the late-season collapse that saw them missing the playoffs for the first time since 2012.
Now, only a junior, Reyes broke the 1,000-point career mark and Loya reached 1,000 career points Friday night at Cholla and Galindo might match that total later this year. Things have changed.
Immaculate Heart is having one of the best starts in school history and the Knights are doing it without much fanfare. It’s difficult for a “small school” with less than 100 enrolled to get much publicity as it is, but it’s hard to ignore a 12-4 record.
Buena survived a scare Monday night to improve to 10-0 on the year. Rincon/University (3-9) led 18-13 after the first quarter and only trailed 49-47 with 3:38 left in the game but the Colts pulled together down the stretch to avoid the upset, winning 62-53.
