Three teams from Arizona made the High School Football America Preseason Top 100 poll released on Monday, July 17. The poll expanded from 50 to 100 teams this fall.
In softball action, No. 14 Rincon/University beat No. 19 Dobson 5-2 to advance to the 6A state tournament slated to start Saturday morning. It was the first time the Mustangs had made it to the postseason since 2011 and the first time, as far as anyone can tell, the Rangers had won a playoff game since their state championship year of 2002.
