Spending hours on the bus is a regular occurrence for Mingus Union, whose nearest regional opponent is about an hour away and for Camp Verde, whose closest league for is about 30 minutes away. Meanwhile schools in Tucson have road trips of around 10 minutes sometimes and many regions in the Valley of the Sun are entirely local. (VVN/James Kelley)
