It’s a battle of one-loss teams this Friday in Arizona when Chandler heads across town to face Basha.<\/p>\n

Both teams have been factors in the Super 25 rankings this season, with Chandler recently dropping out after a tough loss to Centennial (Peoria, Ariz.), and the game certainly can weigh on the national stage in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

But this in-town showdown goes way beyond the Super 25; it’s a game filled with storylines, from bragging rights to revenge to keeping the streak from 2022 and more.<\/p>\n

Basha enters the game on a high note from the last year, when the Bears not only won the regular-season matchup but they also shut out the Wolves\u2014and more notably, then-Chandler QB and 5-star recruit, Dylan Railoa\u2014in the playoffs in December to reach the program’s first state title game (and eventual Open Division state championship win).<\/p>\n

Demond Williams Jr. leads the offensive attack this season for Basha. The Arizona Wildcats commit has been lethal on the ground as well as through the air, with the dual-threat QB shinning in the thrilling OT win last week against Hamilton (Chandler, Ariz.).<\/p>\n

If the defense can contain the Wolves’ offense, it could be three in a row…<\/p>\n

But that’s easier said than done.<\/p>\n

Chandler comes into this game looking to bounce back from last week’s one-point heartbreaker and more directly, to avenge last year’s upsets.<\/p>\n

Ca’Lil Valentine’s shines on the offensive side of the ball. The junior running back’s ability is enough to create a game-plan nightmare for any defense, and the Illinois commit helps open the passing game for a tough receiving core that features fellow 2024 classman Jaxon Branch.<\/p>\n

Does the losing streak end on Friday night?<\/p>\n
