The AIA did no favors to Catalina Foothills for the 4A state semifinals. They are sending Jeff Scurran’s Falcons to an alleged “neutral site” game at Williams Field High School. That’s 2.9 miles from Higley High School’s campus in Gilbert. One of these years the AIA should consider more fairness and schedule some of these neutral site games in Casa Grande. Cienega High is 23 miles from Friday’s game at THS.
