The Trinity League was idle, but Arizona's high school football teams jockeying for postseason placement created plenty of excitement in this week's Super 15 West Region rankings.
Chandler (AZ) took down Hamilton (Chandler, AZ) in the Battle for Arizona Avenue, rallying from a 14-0 first-half deficit behind ALL-USA quarterback Will Mencl, who had three total touchdowns in the 31-24 win.
Chandler is now second seed in the Open Division playoffs, behind only Liberty (Peoria, AZ), which took down cross-town foe Centennial behind patchwork at quarterback — with starting QB Jason Haines out with a broken collarbone, WR Braxton Huynh started, WR Evan Adamczyk got some snaps, and then backup
QB Kenny Raymond, wearing a knee brace, was cleared at halftime, per the Arizona Republic.
Liberty now has a bye week for Raymond to continue his recovery. Centennial dropped out of the Super 15. Basha (Chandler, AZ), which lost for the third time this season, is also out.
In their places are Mission Viejo (CA), an 8-1 team averaging 48 points per game whose sole loss came against No. 8 Folsom (CA), and Skyridge (UT), which has wins over teams including Hun School (Princeton, NJ), Corner Canyon (Draper, UT) and Orem (UT).
