Saturday’s
(March 6) release of state tournament brackets for basketball and soccer by the
Arizona Interscholastic Association brought a bit of surprising news to Xavier
Prep teams.
Both the XCP
basketball and soccer teams will play Tucson High at Xavier.
Following
its exciting 62-60 win over Gilbert Perry on Friday night (March 5), XCP’s
basketball team (11-3) is ranked third in AIA power points and will face No. 14
Tucson (8-5) at the Activity Center on Tuesday (March 9) at 7 p.m. Tucson also
played at Xavier on Feb. 5 and the Gators prevailed 77-26.
The soccer
tournament will begin one night later, on Wednesday (March 10), and fifth-seeded
Xavier (6-2-1) will meet No. 12 Tucson (5-4) at Petznick Field with a 6 p.m.
start.
Basketball
quarterfinals will be March 12, with semifinals on March 17 and finals on March
20. All are at the sites of the highest-seeded teams except for the finals,
which will be played at Gilbert Mesquite. All times are 7 p.m. except for the
finals, at 5 p.m.
Those teams
advancing to the soccer quarterfinals will play again on March 13 at the
highest seeds. Semifinals are March 17 and finals on March 19 at Gilbert Campo
Verde. Quarterfinals are at 2 p.m., semifinals are at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. and
