They have lost just one game so far this season and that was to California’s Chino High School. The team will look to keep it rolling with 10 games left in their season.

They have been outscored 9-17 through eight games and have been shut out in half of those games.
Basha will look to turn it around and have an opportunity to sneak into the 6A playoffs.
Next Up
Desert Vista has a tough matchup ahead as they face the 6-1 defending champions Perry Pumas. Both teams are ranked highly in the state and have won the past two conference champions, making this a game to tune in to
The Bears do not play for another two weeks when they face the No. 1 ranked team in the entire state, the Sunnyside Blue Devils.
While these are two teams with extremely different paths, they are both worth watching as the season progresses.
