Wooderson Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 Already been a crazy offseason out here; Peoria Centennial welcoming pair of receivers that combined for over 150 catches and 2500-yards this past season: https://x.com/WSSArizona/status/1738062898726154517?s=20 Berryhill's younger brother - varsity defensive back for 3A champ Sabino - also making the move north from Tucson.

Wooderson Posted December 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 ...but wait, there's more. Saguaro appears to be in the process of a full-on meltdown, and thus far Liberty seems to be the primary beneficiary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should put together something like the San Diego honor bowl. Get 4 area teams to play 4 OOS teams. Would be cool to see some of the better CA and UT public's playing the better Phoenix area teams. I feel like there would be some very competitive contests.

To hot and gross to host in August and September in Phoenix area. It is done, but no one is going to travel from good climate to play in miserable 110+ degrees. The coaches and teams really actually look forward to go out of state and escape the heat even briefly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would assume that the Cardinals are a good neighbor and are willing to share their stadium; the state/division championship games haven't been hosted at State Farm since 2016, let alone regular season games that fill a rather small niche. While this was a thing many years ago with the now-defunct Sollenberger Classic (game between one of our big school and small school champs and their Nevada counterparts) the reality of these games was always 3-4K fans in a 60K-seat stadium. The Honor Bowl is extending a leg out here, so potential is there to get some premier out of state foes out here. I'll point out that our schools have hosted matchups with Trinity League champs, Gorman and Vegas Liberty, Long Beach Poly, Cherry Creek, Bergen, etc, so we've certainly put out a more than game effort. Frankly I've been encouraged that our local powers have gotten back in the habit of playing one another; I'm going to always lean towards seeing Liberty v. Chandler in early season matchups than random out of state matchups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted January 20 Author Report Share Posted January 20 @Omaha Vol Basha starting a home-and-home series with Millard South next season.

However, I'm afraid those Phoenix area schools are on another level compared to Millard South. Westside would've been a much better game. I hope they will be able to represent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
