Pusch Ridge beat Sahuaro 8-2 Thursday night to help solidify a high ranking in the 3A Conference with the playoffs coming up quickly on May 8. The Lions improved to 11-3 on the year and Sahuaro fell to 7-8 in the 4A Conference.

The Cougars needed this win to help fuel a final push towards a possible playoff spot but the team came in ranked No. 28 with only the top 16 teams earning a berth at the 4A level. The 3A Conference will also have a 16-team playoff bracket but the conference allows for automatic berths for each of the six region champions….
