Millennium comes in at #1 in the state. I think they are hands down the best overall team in the state.
Key Wins: Sunnyslope, South Mountain, Oak Cliff
#2 Desert Vista 6-1 (6A)
If anyone can compete with Millennium for the best team in the state, I think it’s Desert Vista. They have a very big and very deep team.
Key Wins: Hamilton, Brophy Prep, St. Mary’s, Highland
#3 Salpointe Catholic 5-0 (4A)
Salpointe Catholic comes in at #3 after beating some very solid teams in tournament play.
Key Wins: Ironwood Ridge, Buena, Sunnyslope, Perry, Brophy Prep
#4 Ironwood 8-1 (5A)
Irownood may be 5A’s only hope for taking down Millennium but as for right now, Ironwood comes in at #4.
Key Wins: Cactus Shadows, Apollo, Sunnyslope, McClintock, Ironwood Ridge
#5 Skyline 6-2 (6A)
Skyline comes in at #5. They dropped because they dropped in their own conference power rankings due to the stellar play of Desert Vista.
Key Wins: Cesar Chavez, Gilbert, Arcadia
#6 Sunrise Mountain 8-1 (5A)
Sunrise Mountain comes in at #6. Sunrise Mountain probably would’ve come in at a higher spot, however they dropped a game to Desert Mountain.
Key Wins: McClintock, Irownood
#7 Gilbert 5-1 (5A)
Gilbert comes in at #7 for right now. I just want to see them play against some tougher teams in the regular season. I luckily get my wish as they take on Millennium tomorrow.
Key Wins: McClintock, Ironwood Ridge, Chandler, Sunnyslope
#8 Catalina Foothills 7-0 (4A)
Catalina Foothills comes in on the lower end of the all-state rankings due to the fact that their strength of schedule is pretty low in my opinion.
Key Wins: Nogales, Mountain View Marana
#9 St. Mary’s 5-1 (4A)
St. Mary’s comes in at #9 and they could rise in the rankings due to their next couple of games being a little on the tougher side. If they win, expect them to go up.
Key Wins: Coconino
#10 Hamilton 7-0 (6A)
Hamilton comes in at the final spot in the first All-State Power Rankings of 2020. The main reason you don’t see them higher on the list is for the same reason as Catalina Foothills. I just feel like their strength of schedule is lacking a bit.
Key Wins: Highland
