Updated baseball rankings, as of March 25:

Desert Mountain boys basketball coach Todd Fazio is leaving to take over the Red Mountain program, he said Monday.

The lasting image of the 2012 baseball season was Dylan Cozens blasting a walk-off, opposite-field homer to lift Chaparral to the Division I championship over Brophy.

TUCSON — Fortified with a 15-1 lead midway through the first quarter Saturday night, Scottsdale Saguaro had the inevitable letup that tends to come following a fast start.

The lower-seeded Glendale Mountain Ridge boys basketball team walked in to Mountain View poised and ready.

Another game, another nail-biter for the Red Mountain boys basketball team.

It took a while for Gilbert’s boys soccer team to score, but in the end the result was more of the same.

So it appears an NBA mascot shift is in the offing. New Orleans owner Tom Benson, who has been itching to change the name of his team since buying the struggling franchise, wants to rename the ill-titled Hornets – and call his team the New Orleans Pelicans.

Chandler Prep's Travis Farschman hit his seventh three-point shot of the game with 15 seconds left in overtime and teammate Jack Hanson stole the ball seconds later to clinch a 62-59 victory over visiting Canyon State, Tuesday.

Casey Benson set a career high with 39 points and Bryan Siefker added 11 as the No. 10 Aztecs cruised past Chandler, 76-49, in Division I boys basketball action on Friday night at Corona. Marcos Morales led the Wolves with 18 points.

As the top seed in the Division I volleyball state tournament, Horizon has had a target on its back from the beginning.

Glendale Mountain Ridge knocked off defending-state champion Gilbert and is one step closer to the schools first volleyball state championship since it won a Class 5A title in 2004.

The 2012 season began eerily similar to ‘11 and ‘10 for Mountain View: A struggle. The Toros were pushed around by Desert Mountain’s offense during a 49-28 loss to the Wolves in Week 1. Desert Mountain both ran the ball with moderate success and got big plays from the Kyle Allen-Mark Andrews passing duo early on. Mountain View fought back in the middle two quarters but a defensive touchdown sealed the win for Desert Mountain in the fourth quarter.

In a day and age when even at the high school level, high scoring offenses seem to dominate the landscape of football, Red Mountain proved that defense is still just as effective, as the Mountain Lions beat host Highland 14-3 in the regular season finale for both teams.
