The “Battle for Arizona Ave” delivered pure fireworks as Chandler and Hamilton went toe-to-toe in one of the most thrilling matchups of the season. The rivalry sparked early when Hamilton tried to run out on the same sideline as Chandler—only to be stopped, setting the tone for an intense night. Chandler came out swinging, jumping to a 14–0 first-quarter lead and maintaining control through a dominant first half, heading into the break up 27–13. But the second half belonged to Hamilton, who stormed back behind explosive plays from the MVP, Roye Oliver III, including a 57-yard touchdown and a momentum-shifting punt return deep into Chandler territory. In a wild fourth-quarter surge, Hamilton tied the game, took its first lead, and ultimately sealed a stunning comeback with a late touchdown to win 55–41, completing an unforgettable chapter in this storied Arizona rivalry.
