Outlook: This game means a lot more to McClintock than Chaparral.
The Firebirds clinched the 4A Desert Sky Region title with a win over previously undefeated Saguaro last week, finally getting back to where they were before an off-field incident cost the team three starters.
The Chargers may have underestimated Phoenix Thunderbird last week, falling 34-14 to a squad that had been winless in the region up to that point. McClintock is teetering perilously close to missing the playoffs, currently tied for the second-to-last spot.
