Friday night’s Class 2A Central Region game between Phoenix Scottsdale Christian and host Chandler Valley Christian was billed by some as a preview of the state championship. "="">
One or both teams indeed could reach that pinnacle, but as the game played out, it was evident that the gap in talent between them and teams such as Phoenix Northwest Christian, Yuma Catholic, Willcox and St. Johns might not be as wide as first thought. In fact, there might not be a gap at all.
"="">
Scottsdale Christian relied on a tough defensive effort and a long touchdown run on a broken play for a 17-3 victory, raising its record to 3-0. Defending state champion Valley Christian fell to 3-1.

“This was a boost to our confidence, knowing we can play with those other teams,’’ said senior nose guard Luke Siwek.
"="">
“I was kind of tearing up, because this was the first time since 2007 that we’ve beaten them.’’
