Chandler High School (Chandler, Ariz.) has long been one of the top programs in the state of Arizona, but last season ended in disappointment for the Wolves with a loss to Saguaro in the 2021 AIA State Championship. The 7-0 Wolves have come back with a vengeance this season and are the No. 9 team in the country in the MaxPreps national high school football rankings. Basha (Chandler, Ariz.) looks to spoil the Wolves' undefeated season on Friday night, and the 6-1 Bears come into the matchup ranked just outside the top 50 teams in the country.

Kickoff is set for 10 p.m. ET at Chandler, where the Wolves haven't played since September 30. The last time Basha came close to stealing a win against the Wolves came in 2012, when the Bears lost by just 10 points, 41-31. Find out more about this matchup and follow it at MaxPreps here.
