The stage is set for an electric championship showdown Saturday night in Tempe as the defending state finalist Basha Bears (11-1) face the Chandler Wolves (10-2) for Arizona’s Open Division crown. Basha, led by veteran signal-caller Jake Rogers, returns to the title game after a dramatic 19-16 comeback victory over two-time defending champion Liberty in the semifinals. The Bears overcame a 16-9 second-half deficit, demonstrating the resilience that has defined their championship pedigree. Meanwhile, Chandler makes its first Open Division championship appearance since 2021 following an impressive 30-17 upset over Hamilton, powered by junior quarterback Will Mencl’s three rushing touchdowns. With both East Valley powerhouses peaking at the perfect time, this crosstown rivalry adds another championship chapter at Mountain America Stadium in what promises to be a fitting finale to Arizona’s 2025 high school football season.
