The boys basketball teams from Glendale Deer Valley and Kingman high schools don’t want to be left in the dark in terms of trying to earn a spot in the Class 5A Division II state tournament.

That underscores the importance of finishing a Feb. 1 game at Deer Valley. With about 4 ½ minutes left in the game and Kingman holding onto a nine-point lead, the power went out.

So the teams will resume their battle for valuable power points at a date to be determined. The likely window of opportunity will be Feb. 11, when Kingman next comes to the Valley for a game at Phoenix Sandra Day O'Connor.

Kingman likely would arrive in the Valley earlier in the day, finish the game at Deer Valley at say, 3 p.m. or so, before moving on to Sandra Day O'Connor. Deer Valley has a road game against Surprise Valley Vista that night.
