The Foothill-Basic football game is going to be EPIC. Too many kids who grew up together and played against each other most of their lives all putting it on the line to play in the State Championship game. If you want to see a great game, head over to Don Taylor Stadium! Battle for Boulder Highway II.

Foothill beats Las Vegas High and the Southeast Division goes 4-0 tonight where a Henderson school is GUARANTEED a spot in the state finals! It was a great week for Henderson tonight! Good job Foothill, Basic, Liberty and Del Sol!!!

Liberty did not win the Sunrise Regional Championship last year. Foothill did. Liberty lost to Eldorado 66-62. Foothill went on to beat Eldorado and eventually lost to Reno in the State Semi-Finals. This is the second time this website has published that Liberty was last year's champs. Sorry, but they weren't.

Ray and Steve, I'd rather have a team who is 'overachieving', who doesn't have any superstars, and who keeps getting the job done to consistently fare well in the playoffs, than a team with many D-1 prospects or superstars on the floor, who isn't all that consistent. Brett Okamoto posted the new power rankings for this first time this year and Foothill was ranked 9th? and let me add, he says that the Southeast division is the weakest? If we look at the 3 other divisions they all have 1 or more teams who's overall records are below the .333 mark in which both schools who have this record each have 2 wins in our 'weak' division. Liberty and Silverado whom are the Review-Journal's favorites to win the division are powerhouses as well in the Southeast. I'd put money on Liberty and Silverado if we played the Legacy's, the Sierra Vista's, the Durango's, the Palo's, and whoever else is supposed to be the hottest teams right now. Yes, the Henderson schools share a lot of the kids, and you're right, Ray, a lot of the Foothill-Basic kids went to school together in middle school, but to say that we are the same as Basic doesn't sit well. When playoffs arrive, we'll stay quiet, with 'no emotion' and we'll try our best to 'overachieve' once again to reach, and maybe, just maybe surpass our Southeast Region Championship and State Semi-Finals loss from last year, but what do we know?...

I think you need to rethink your prediction of the Sunrise title in boys basketball.

I don't know about all those picks...

Del Sol already beat Rancho and is always a contender in the post season.
Basic will roll over Valley...easily.
The Green Valley - Desert Pines game will be close but the Gators are out headhunting for losing the Henderson Bowl last week.

***last touchdown in regulation***

What's the rule about a player taking off his helmet on the field? Is it an automatic ejection? If so, Coronado's last touchdown doesn't count...
