The first time this season these two teams met, Phoenix Christian Cougars walked off the field with a 62-0 win over Bisbee High. Matched up for the first round of the playoffs suggested a repeat performance, with Bisbee ranked 15th in the division, pitched against Phoenix Christian, ranked 3rd.
After a touchdown and 2-point conversion put Bisbee out ahead 8-0 early in the first quarter, Phoenix Christian turned it on, but still Bisbee kept pace and dignity, and ended the game with a 42-8 loss that played out much better than the score suggests.
The Cougars went on to beat Tempe Prep Knights 59-15 to keep them in the playoffs.
