Hi Jim, I remember things a bit differently. Now after all these years I could definitely be wrong, but this is how I remember it. 1967: The game against Phx. Union was not for the state championship. I believe it was a Christmas tournament. I don't remember what they called it, but it was one of those tournaments held during Christmas break with 8, maybe 16 teams. I remember this game pretty well because my cousin went to Phx. Union and I had to listen to his smack for the rest of the year. 1969: State championship game was against Tucson High. I think we lost 80-76. They had a big giant center about 8 feet tall 400 lbs. Made Eddie Combs look like a midget. (Okay, slight exageration, but you get the idea) I think his name was Chucko Miranda or something like that. I seem to remember that they started out killing us and opened up a pretty big lead. We made a run at them in the second half but came up short. 1966: Our freshman year; State championship game- we lost to Camelback. I think the score was something like 55-50. Now after many years of smoking pot and drinking beers, my brain cells might be a little damaged, but that's my story and I'm stickin' to it! It would be nice if someone saved some newspaper clippings and could verify any of this. I tried the google on the internets but didn't find anything.
