Basha may want to consider changing its school nickname. Calling themselves the Bears does not do justice to the school’s football team.

A collection of the top individual performances from Week 6 in the East Valley:

If Desert Vista’s traditional Senior Walk on Friday would have replicated the Thunder’s first-round win over Basha, it would have been a little herky-jerky instead of the take-it-all-in process it is meant to be.

Taylor Waters hit a game-winning, three-run home run in the fifth inning to lift Basha to a 5-4 win over host Perry in a Division I, Section II baseball game Thursday.

Nick Guaragna still thinks there might have been a mistake.

Red Mountain got a five-inning no-hitter from Marian Ruff as the Mountain Lions (21-5) beat Mesa, 11-0, on Tuesday.

Nobody wants to look at the bright side after a loss; that’s especially true after one that keeps a relatively-young program from reaching its first state championship game.
