TEMPE, Ariz, Dec. 6 — The No. 41 Basha [Chandler, AZ] Bears will face off Saturday evening against the Chandler [AZ] Wolves for Arizona’s Open Division state championship at Arizona State University.
Basha and Chandler did not meet in the regular season despite being neighbors in Chandler, Arizona, which has been the epicenter of Arizona’s prep football ranks this season. Three of the four teams in last week’s semifinals, including the Hamilton Huskies, are based in Chandler.
The game is set for an 8 p.m. EST kick (6 p.m. local).
