Pima captured a long-awaited 2A boys basketball state championship Saturday by wearing down Surprise Highland Prep with its size and defense on its way to a 47-37 victory at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
The 1998 Superior team that went 27-0 was the last public school to win the 2A title before Pima claimed the title Saturday. That Superior team also was honored at halftime with it being the 25th anniversary. But it wasn't until midway through the third quarter that Pima began to pull away from Highand Prep, a team in its second year competing in the AIA and making its first state championship appearance.
Hill closed it to 26-22 with a three but again Pima dominated the offensive glass with Garrett Curtis scoring on a second-chance basket to close the quarter.
