Due to concerns regarding the number of fans traveling to the 2A AIA State Basketball Championship games, both the boys and girls games have been moved to Gila River Arena in Glendale this afternoon. The following is an amended schedule of games at Gila River on championship Saturday.

1 p.m.: 3A girls championship
3 p.m.: 2A girls championship
5 p.m.: 2A boys championship
7 p.m.: 4A girls championship
9 p.m.: 4A boys championship

The 3A boys championship game between Pusch Ridge and Valley Christian will now be played at Highland High School at 4 p.m.

The AIA would like to give a big thank to the Pusch Ridge and Valley Christian teams for accomodating the change in venue, all the staff at Gila River Arena for adding the extra game to the schedule, and also to Highland High School for stepping up to host.
