Ironwood Ridge's Noah Pallanes (2) tries to shove his mouthpiece back in while reeling off a big run against Mountain View in the second quarter of their game at Mountain View High School, Thursday, September 28, 2017, Tucson, Ariz.
Where: 2475 W. Naranja Drive
Winner: A Tucson High win, one that would keep the Badgers in the playoff race, would be one of the feel-good stories of the season. The Badgers had a brutal schedule all season long. Ironwood Ridge had a hiccup halfway through the season losing to Mountain View and Queen Creek in back-to-back weeks, but recharged with a 50-15 win over Sierra Vista Buena last week. Tucson High has struggled against run-first teams this season, and the Nighthawks have one of the best rush attacks in Tucson. Expect the Nighthawks to win 34-28.
