Phoenix Thunderbird scored 24 straight points to defeat Amphitheater 24-7 in a rare Monday Night game in Tucson with the game moved from last Friday due to threats directed at the teams on social media.

Thunderbird moved to 2-1 on the year with Flagstaff (3-0) visiting on Friday on what became a very short week for the Titans. The Titans did not schedule a bye week this year but Amphitheater (2-1) will benefit from a week off before hosting Tempe Marcos de Niza (2-1) on Friday, Oct. 1.

The first set of AIA Power rankings will be released on Oct. 12.
