Scottsdale Christian Academy Edges St. Johns for the 2A Title
Arizona — November 29, 2025
Scottsdale Christian Academy is the 2025 2A state champion after holding off St. Johns 27-22 in a tightly contested title game on November 29, 2025. The five-point margin made for one of the closer finishes among Arizona's smaller-classification championships that weekend, with St. Johns pushing the eventual champion until the final whistle.
The win capped a strong season for Scottsdale Christian Academy, a program that has built a reputation among the state's smaller schools for competing with — and often beating — programs from far larger communities. St. Johns, representing one of the state's most remote football communities in Apache County, made the run to the championship game itself a point of pride for a program far from the Valley's spotlight.
Games at the 2A level rarely get the statewide attention that Open Division or 6A title games receive, but the level of competition and the stakes for the players and communities involved are every bit as real. For Scottsdale Christian Academy, the championship is the culmination of a season spent proving it belonged at the top of its classification.
