Pusch Ridge Christian dominated Chandler Valley Christian in a potential preview of the Class 3A playoffs.
Justin Spears In back-to-back-to-back weeks, the Pusch Ridge Christian Lions were tasked with facing potential Class 3A playoff opponents — and they cruised by two of them, including Friday night's 52-20 win over visiting Chandler Valley Christian."The last three weeks was our gauntlet, because we played Thatcher, Sabino and Valley Christian — and all of them are very solid football teams," said Pusch Ridge coach Kent Middleton.

They played really well, really strong and really solid," Middleton said."They didn't give up any big plays for the most part. ... Our defense played really, really well and we stopped the run. When you stop the run, it allows you to do things defensively, and we were able to do that tonight.
With a chance to go ahead by two possessions, Pusch Ridge senior running back Abraham Grajeda fumbled inside the 30-yard line, and the Trojans recovered. Heeringa converted the takeaway into points with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Ethan Heinrich to tie the contest 7-7. "When you're able to run the football, it just makes everything a lot easier and allows you to get the ball in other people's hands, too," Middleton said.
To start the third quarter, Mustain, Pusch Ridge's star junior quarterback, connected with older brother Tyler Mustain for an 81-yard touchdown.
