After losing 64-53 to the reigning open state champions Perry Pumas on Saturday, Basha put together an overwhelmingly dominant victory.
Despite losing five games this season, the team has outscored opponents by over 300 points, proving how they can easily blow teams out of the water.

The Bears have a clear goal as a team this season … to win the state’s second annual open state championship. They are coming off a season where they made a semifinal run but fell short to Sunnyslope.
Their next matchup comes against the 9-8 Brophy College Prep Broncos on Friday, Jan. 12 @ 7 p.m. MST. The team will look to keep it rolling as the playoffs approach.
Westwood’s Struggles Continue
After winning two of their first three games, the Warriors have not been able to get it going consistently. They have now lost nine of their last 10 games and been outscored by almost 300 points.
The team next faces the 8-5 Cibola Raiders of Yuma. They will look for this to be some type of a momentum builder as the end of the season approaches.
