It's big game week for me! After games at Corona del Sol, Skyline, Campo Verde, Casteel, and Sunrise Mountain (most of which I was the only media there), I'm heading out to Chandler and the Southeast Valley for the big tilt between Liberty and Basha. One of these 0's has got to go.
Liberty (4-0) has back-to-back marquee games as it just defeated Saguaro 26-17. The Lions are outscoring their opponents 175-31 and are averaging almost 44 points per game. QB Navi Bruzon (who was 12-of-13 in last year's Open game vs. the Bears) is completing 81 percent of his passes with 13 TDs and no picks.
Basha (5-0) blanked Cactus last week 58-0. The Bears are outscoring their opponents 255-52 and haven't been tested in their four games against Arizona schools. Demond Williams Jr. (who I will be seeing for the first time in a varsity game) is completing 71 percent of his passes with 14 TDs and just one interception.
Looking forward to the atmosphere of this one. With Hamilton and Chandler still on the Basha schedule, I think this one is more important for the Bears to win. Liberty can probably stamp at least a top 4 Open seed with a win here.
