Meanwhile, Casa Grande scored the most points they've had all season to find success on Friday. They managed a 71-67 win over Campo Verde. The victory was some much needed relief for Casa Grande as it spelled an end to their four-game losing streak.

Horizon beat Casa Grande 72-65 in their previous matchup back in January of 2023. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Casa Grande's Anthony Garcia, who scored 23 points along with eight rebounds and five assists. Now that he won't be playing on Monday, will it be that much easier for Horizon to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
