AZTEC HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Dec. 21-23: Pima Community College
Tucson High (12-1 overall, 9-1 in ranking games) beat Sahuaro 48-45 to win the Aztec Bracket of the Aztec Holiday Classic held at Pima on Saturday. Sahuaro (13-2, 9-0) will host Flowing Wells (1-13, 0-10) on Jan. 8 and Tucson is taking part in the Epic Tourneys Classic next week.
The Badgers went 3-0 at the classic as part of an incredible start to their season and the Cougars have also gone out to a hot start. In the final, Xavier Grajeda Cruz led the Badgers with 12 points, Malaki Cunningham-Hiadzi had 10 and Adam Armadillo added nine.
Mountain View (10-4, 4-3) beat Buena 65-64 to win the Pima Bracket earlier in the day. Mountain View gave up a couple of big leads to Buena (7-4, 5-3) before erasing a late surge by Buena and then the Mountain Lions survived a last-second game-winning attempt by the Colts.
Buena will take part in the Fat Lever Santa Cruz Shootout hosted by Pueblo starting on Thursday, Dec. 28 and Mountain View will play at Desert View (1-13, 0-7) on Jan. 9.
