Oro Valley Ironwood Ridge took a gamble opening up the season against Division I power Chandler Hamilton. The Nighthawks may have lost that game 44-7 but they gained so much more. The Nighthawks learned how to adjust and grow together as a team and their learning curve was on display Friday night thanks to a 33-7 win over Tucson Salpointe.
Oro Valley Pusch Ridge was looking for revenge after losing to Benson last week but, in football, that means the next team on the schedule is usually in trouble and Bisbee found plenty of it on Friday night after losing big, 50-6.
