<p>Almost hitting the midway point of the season and we have some exciting matchups this week that we want to breakdown and give some key players to watch out for. This a pretty crucial week for teams in the state. For some, it will be there last game before they get a bye week. Other it will be there first game of regional play. Either way, these games are critical to set teams up for success before you begin to get into the grueling games later in the year. Here our Week Five's Best Games:</p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Norte Dame Prep (4-0) vs Brophy Prep (4-0)</h3>   <p>The 5A Norte Dame Preparatory Saints will come marching in from Scottsdale to play the 6A Brophy Preparatory Broncos in Downtown Phoenix. Two squads who will look to keep their perfect record coming off of some key wins. Notre Dame comes off a impressive performance against Sunnyslope, especially offensively, as they won 59 -14. Brophy Prep is coming off a back and forth game between a good Perry team before they pulled away at the end 24-20. This game will feature significant matchups on the outside for both teams, like Arizona's #1 player Notre Dame Prep WR [player_tooltip player_id='368921' first='Cooper' last='Perry'] (highlights below), who will face off against a very good Brophy defense. He will most likely be played closely by Brophy Prep CB [player_tooltip player_id='368909' first='Cree' last='Thomas']. It will be super intriguing to see who will get the best of who in that contest. QB [player_tooltip player_id='401151' first='Case' last='Vanden Bosch'] could see a more predominate role in the offense going forward. Also watch out for DB [player_tooltip player_id='704785' first='JJ' last='Francis'] coming off a monster game as he will defend against a excellent cast of Brophy wide receivers such as WR [player_tooltip player_id='401155' first='Daylen' last='Sharper'] or WR [player_tooltip player_id='401157' first='Devin' last='Fitzgerald'].</p>    <p></p>   <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Chandler (4-0) vs Highland (4-0)</h3>   <p>Two undefeated juggernauts clash in what should be an excellent game Friday night with the entire state watching as the Chandler Wolves head to Gilbert to take on the Highland Hawks. Chandler coming off of one of its most dominant performances last week as they beat Corona Del Sol 49-6. Highland also had a commanding game against Campo Verde as they won 35-3. Both Chandler and Highland are averaging more than 36 points a game and under 11 points allowed in their first four games played. Chandler RB Tristian Halsana (highlights below) will look to continue his outstanding season as he is averaging over 11 yards per carry and already has 11 rushing TDs on the year. Highland will look to slow down Chandler's rushing attack with its upfront leaders such as DL [player_tooltip player_id='1353938' first='Rhett' last='Yetter'] and LB Cooper Camac. Highland's rushing attack will be led by RB [player_tooltip player_id='1573367' first='Kash' last='Allen'] as he comes into this game leading the Hawks in rushing, averaging 105 yards per game while only getting 11 carries per game. Chandler's defense is looking unstoppable with LB [player_tooltip player_id='677852' first='Iona' last='Kupu'], LB [player_tooltip player_id='368948' first='Aidan' last='Browder'], and Tolleson DB transfer [player_tooltip player_id='739445' first='Hamisi' last='Juma'] leading the reigns as they will seek to contain Highland offense.</p>    <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Red Mountain (4-0) vs Williams Field (3-1)</h3>   <p>A vital game for how the landscape of the 6A conference will play out as the Red Mountain Mountain Lions are heading south to Gilbert to face the William Fields Black Hawks. Red Mountain recently had a close call against Downey after they won 35-32. Williams Field has played their best ball in the last two weeks as they most recently beat Desert Ridge on the road 30-6. The winner of this game could be a vital difference down the road for postseason success, particularly when it comes to deciding who will get a higher seed than their opponent. Williams Field QB [player_tooltip player_id='954404' first='Kody' last='Guy'] will hope to keep elevating the offense forward as he is coming off of multiple games with over a 75% completion percentage and 3 passing TDs. Red Mountain's defense will hope to slow down the offense with leading defensive weapons in LB [player_tooltip player_id='739444' first='Jameson' last='Wade'] and DB Logan Hayie. Additionally, Red Mountain QB [player_tooltip player_id='1145539' first='Simon' last='Lopez'] and WR [player_tooltip player_id='1353920' first='Bode' last='Wagner']'s connection on the outside will look to lead the charge for the offense putting up its big numbers. Williams Field will aim to shut down the passing game with DB [player_tooltip player_id='368957' first='Jeremiah' last='Wallace'] and DB Treshawn Shorty, as they collectively have 3 INTs and 10 pass deflections on the season.</p>
