No. 1 Bagdad defeated No. 4 Gilbert Christian 60-24 Saturday night at Phoenix North Canyon High School to punch their second straight trip to the final. I guess it goes without saying that No. 2 Mogollon defeated No. 3 Pima 28-12 in the other semifinal game held earlier in the day.
Gilbert Christian is in its second-straight 8-man football semifinals in just the Knights' fourth year existence as they prepare to take on top-seeded defending champion Bagdad on Saturday. Perennial championship contenders Mogollon and Pima meet in the other semifinal.
