In anticipation of the playoffs, fans can access detailed breakdowns of the playoff brackets for the smaller schools, including the 2A and 3A brackets, as well as updates on the 1A playoffs.

This week marks the continuation of a beloved tradition where fans can participate in choosing the “Game of the Week.” Last week’s selection led to a highlight-filled matchup in the West Valley, where ALA-West Foothills secured an undefeated season against Dysart.

For this week, three key matchups have emerged as nominees:

Queen Creek at ALA-Queen Creek
In a critical 6A encounter, Queen Creek faces ALA-Queen Creek to determine the East Valley region champion. Currently sitting at 8-1, Queen Creek has maintained a perfect 3-0 record in regional play, with their only setback against Perry earlier in the season. ALA-Queen Creek, also at 8-1, aims to capitalize on their strong showing, having lost only to Red Mountain in a nail-biter.

Victory for Queen Creek will clinch the regional title, while ALA-Queen Creek requires a win to stay in contention for the championship.

Desert Edge at Verrado
Traveling to the West Valley, Desert Edge competes against Verrado, with both schools eyeing the 5A Desert West region title. Desert Edge currently boasts a 6-3 record and remains undefeated in region play. Verrado, on the other hand, holds a 7-2 season tally. The stakes are high; a win for either team will significantly impact their playoff standings.

Estrella Foothills at Deer Valley
Also vying for championship glory, Estrella Foothills faces Deer Valley in the 4A Copper Sky region championship. Deer Valley enters the game undefeated at 9-0, while Estrella Foothills stands at 7-2. Both teams are vying for a crucial win that could define their playoff fates.
