Relive Windsor's Final 4 win over Mesa Ridge
Mesa Ridge had ended Windsor's season in a 2023 Final 4 blowout and a 2024 title-game thriller en route to consecutive state crowns. For good measure, the Grizzlies beat Windsor back in November, too.
Not this time.
"Huge chip on our shoulder. It hurt so much getting knocked out by them two years in a row. No way we could let that happen again," Windsor star junior Madden Smiley said.
The Wizards were tougher, more disciplined and fundamentally sound on both ends, breaking open a back-and-forth game with a huge second half.
