Feb. 9, in the 3A West regional
tournament semifinal game.
Results were unavailable at
press time.
South Pointe traveled to No. 3
Parker High School on Saturday
and were victorious, 93-70,
setting up the semifinal game
with Sedona on Tuesday.
If the Scorpions defeated
South Pointe on Tuesday, they
would no doubt travel to Estrella
Foothills High School for the
3A West regional tournament
championship game Thursday,
Feb. 11.
Estrella Foothills played host
to No. 5 River Valley High
School on Tuesday as well and
will be the certain favorite.
The Dust Devils traveled to
No. 4 Chino Valley High School
on Saturday and came away
with a 31-30 victory, earning
themselves a game with the two-
time defending 3A conference
state champions.
If the Scorpions dropped the
ball Tuesday night, they will
probably host River Valley in
the third-place game Thursday.
