The magic carpet ride shows no signs of slowing down for the Safford boys basketball team. A 75-49 blowout of Florence on the road Friday night raised the Bulldogs record to 20-1 on the season.

Starting with last night’s game against Santa Cruz, Safford finally gets some home cooking. The Florence game was the last of a six-game road trip. The last three games of the regular season will be at home.

The Thatcher boys were victorious in an out-of-conference rivalry game against Pima on Saturday night. The Eagles picked up win No. 14 with a narrow 38-35 escape at home.

In the early game Saturday, the Pima girls defeated the Lady Eagles 38-30. Pima (15-6, 4-2 1A East) has some serious work to do in their last four conference games to close the gap on first-place Fort Thomas.

The Lady Roughriders have a big battle with Duncan at home Friday.

" That Thatcher vs Pima boys game was the worst game ever! THe refs were terrible on both sides and Pima did nothing but throw punches the whole entire night. If the game hadn't ended when it did, Someone was going to end up getting hurt bad! "
