Exactly one year ago this weekend, Coach Askerov's Belle Tire Wizards were eliminated by Little Caesars 4-3 in the Michigan Bantam Major AAA State Semifinals.
Little Caesars defeated favored Honeybaked in the Finals the next day and captured the State Championship.
Saturday evening Askerov's team will again square off against Little Caesars in a rematch to decide which team will advance to play the winner of Honeybaked-Compuware in the State Championship Game on Sunday.
Belle Tire earned a second trip in as many seasons to the state semis by beating the Detroit Flames 4-3 on Friday Evening.
