Call it a Salpointe Saturday.
The Lancers' boys soccer, girls soccer and girls basketball teams all won, inching closer to state championships.
The day began with the Lancers outlasting Walden Grove in penalty kicks to advance to the Class 4A state championship game in girls soccer in a match played at Marana High School. Saturday evening, the Lancers boys did the same, topping Bullhead City Mohave 3-2 to advance to the 4A final. The teams will play the same opponent — Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep — in back-to-back matches on Tuesday at Gilbert Williams Field High School. The girls will play at 4:45 p.m., with the boys' game to follow.
And Saturday night, Salpointe's top-seeded girls basketball team won an all-Southern Arizona girls basketball showdown, beating No. 8 Sahuaro, 53-39. The Lancers will host No. 3 Chandler Seton Catholic on Wednesday night, with the winner advancing to the 4A state final.
No to be forgotten is Salpointe's boys basketball team, which won Friday night to advance to Tuesday's 4A state semifinals. The Lancers will host Glendale Deer Valley at 7 p.m.
