SALPOINTE IN 6A SOUTHERN
SALPOINTE
- Oct. 17, at Basha. The last time the Bears faced Salpointe in 2022, they traveled to Tucson to play at Ed Doherty Stadium. They won 46-14 behind the production of quarterback Demond Williams Jr. Basha went 11-2 last year when the Bears lost to Liberty 35-17 in the Open Division state championship. In the semifinals, Basha beat ALA-Queen Creek, which will be visited by Salpointe on Sept. 26. An interesting subplot to Salpointe playing Basha is former Lancer head coach Eric Rogers is on the Bears’ staff and his son Jake, who was part of Salpointe’s team as a freshman, is a budding Class of 2027 prospect at quarterback at Basha. The Bears have four of the top Class of 2026 college prospects in the state — QB Broderick Vehrs (North Texas commit), CB Mason Lewis (Cal), LB Eli Cramer-Cronin (New Mexico) and WR Kash Brock (Colorado State).
