6A: Hamilton (5-0) @ Highland (4-1)
Two explosive offense will face off in a very important 6A Premier Region matchup. Key offensive players include Hamilton’s QB Nicco Marchiol Nicco Marchiol 6'2" | 220 lbs | QB Hamilton | 2022 State AZ who has been a clutch player all season, and Highland RB Max Davis Max Davis 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB Highland | 2021 State AZ who brings the juice every week.

Highland’s Kam Cullimore Kam Cullimore 5'11" | 200 lbs | LB Highland | 2021 State AZ will have a big night ahead of him as he is key in an effort to stop an explosive Hamilton offense.
5A: Desert Edge (5-0) @ Sunrise Mountain (4-1)
The West Valley is for real, and this is one of the best matchups we will see all year. Desert Edge has proved to be an explosive offense with standout QB Adryan Lara Adryan Lara 6'2" | 210 lbs | QB Desert Edge | 2022 State AZ leading the way. They also have one of the best ball hawks in the state in Steven Ortiz Steven Ortiz 5'11" | 170 lbs | DB Desert Edge | 2021 State AZ , who has stepped up in big games thus far. Tommy Arnold and Owen Thomas for SMHS will look to have big nights to compete with Desert Edge.
4A: Northwest Christian (4-0) @ Cactus (3-2)
A surprise undefeated Northwest Christian will look to beat a tough 3-2 Cactus team. However, Cactus’s 2 losses have come to 5A powerhouse schools Desert Edge and Sunrise Mountain. Cactus is full of young playmakers like Will Galvan and Justin Holmes, and they will go head to head with Northwest Christian standout Levi Huisman.
3A: Yuma Catholic (5-0) @ River Valley (4-1)
Two of the best players in 3A look to light it up against each other this week in Yuma Cathloic’s breakout QB Richard Stallworth and River Valley’s do it all guy Zach Hammett Zach Hammett 5'8" | 185 lbs | RB River Valley | 2022 State AZ . Stallworth and Hammett have been unreal this season, and we’ll finally get to see them go toe to toe to in a game that will most likely decide who will win the 3A West Region.
2A: Parker (3-1) @ Glendale Prep (4-1)
Another big region game which could decide who will win the 2A Agua Fria Region. Parker has been putting up big numbers on everyone they’ve played, while Glendale Prep has done the same. It is a very evenly matched game, and looks like it will be a dog fight.
1A: Bagdad (4-1) @ Salome (4-1)
Ever Since the week 1 loss to Williams, Bagdad has flipped the switch and come out guns blazing with QB Rocky Sandoval. In a clustered 1A West, Salome will need a big W to keep them in the playoff mix. Salome is coming off a tough loss against Anthem Prep, and will need a big night from Alvaro Alvarez on both sides of the ball.
