Palo Verde shouldnβt have to travel to Phoenix. They should have a home game or a venue in Tucson on Monday or Tuesday!!! @jacob_seliga@GreggRosenberg1
3A BBB: On the court, Coolidge stayed focused and closed out Snowflake to punch their ticket to the state title game.
Next up: Palo Verde for the championship.
Palo Verde advanced to the 3A title. Defeated Benjamin Franklin 52-48. Kameron Pippen scored 16 & Daniel Ortiz had 16 rebounds and 15 points for PV. Landon Christensen (24 points) made 6 threes for Ben Franklin. Final minute highlights:
Mentioned the 2010 team a couple times and legacy, but didnβt mention the 2015 Final 4 team at all? Proud of this team and the run they got goin right nowβΌοΈ
No. 5 Palo Verde (23-5) will play in the 3A semifinals Friday morning at 9 against No. 1 Franklin (26-4) at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix. Two of the top Titans are senior wing/guard Daniel Ortiz (18.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 3.0 steals per game) and junior point guard Kameron Pippen (leads state with 7.4 assists per game).
We're doing a "Student-Athlete of the Week" series at @TucsonStar. My first contribution is a feature on Palo Verde point guard Kameron Pippen (no relation to Scottie), who leads the state in assists.
Pippen also quarterbacks Palo Verde's football team.
