#8 Valley Christian @ #1 Thatcher
#5 Paradise Honors @ #4 Show Low
- This matchup is the most intriguing to me. Show Low is the favorite, but I think Paradise Honors could go up there and pull off the upset if they can win the turnover margin. Paradise Honors possesses that highly explosive offense with the leading passer in the state in Gage Baker Gage Baker 6'1" | 160 lbs | QB Paradise Honors | 2024 State AZ , which will be the best player the Show Low defense will see to this point.
#6 Round Valley @ #3 Pusch Ridge
#7 Sabino @ #2 Eastmark
- This is going to be a fun game to watch and a big opportunity for both QB’s to showcase their talent and rise their stock. Mack Molander Mack Molander 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Eastmark | 2023 State AZ for Eastmark has been a tremendous leader and has played lights out this season, earning that #2 seed. Sabino QB Cameron Hackworth Cameron Hackworth 5'9" | 160 lbs | QB Sabino | 2024 State AZ has a big opportunity to rise his stock in a big time game against a stellar Eastmark defense. I do think Eastmark will win this one, but big opportunities are ahead of all these guys on Friday night.
