AZ: Chandler, Saguaro, Mtn Pt

 

As much as slamming Saguaro ranks very high among my favorite things to do I'm not going to do it here.  I understand why (even if I don't agree) their name is here, and if people want to ignore a mountain of evidence that says there are four programs consistently better than them in Arizona that's their prerogative.

What I will do is further address something I've briefly touched on in the past-that, if you're looking beyond 2016, Mountain Pointe can not be in this discussion.  Track-record wise (three title game appearances, one title) they are in a similar standing with other Arizona squads like Williams Field (also 1-2 in Arizona title games), and even looking at 2016 their most notable win aside from Chandler (who was playing their third game in less than a two-week span) came against a Desert Ridge team that lost to Norco and didn't make it past the second round of the playoffs (all told Mountain Pointe's regular season consisted of just three teams-Chandler, Ridge, and Desert Vista-who won playoff games and two one-win squads).  

In my mind if you're looking for the best three programs in Arizona you're looking at Chandler (four straight semifinals appearances and two state titles in two title game appearances), Centennial (three consecutive title game appearances and 2-0 record against Saguaro and Mountain Pointe during that span), and Hamilton (no one has there long-term record of success).

Then it should be Chandler, Mountain Pointe, and Williams Field, in that order.

Sure, if we were talking beyond last year I would definitely have Hamilton over Saguaro. I would also have Centennial over Williams Field. Just for 2016, I have to go with Saguaro.
