Gila Ridge continued their hot start to the season after beating Sunrise Mountain 64-50 on Tuesday night at home.

“That was probably one of the best games we’ve played to date,” Gila Ridge head coach Joe Daily said.

The Hawks improved to 4-0 on the season and were led by Jamison Kay’s 20 points and six rebounds. CJ Wiggins contributed with 16 points while Jordan Stevens added 12 points and five rebounds.

“We were really patient offensively,” Daily said. “We waited for a good shot and attacked the basket.”
