No. 1 Chandler

Even with new roles, nothing changes. The Wolves will only continue to ramp it up after winning three straight state titles.

Teams will have trouble keeping up with all of Pinnacle's weapons on offense.

Chandler quarterback Mikey Keene looks to pass during a scrimmage held at Highland High in Gilbert on Aug. 14, 2019.

No. 3 Gilbert Perry

Chubba Purdy and Co. will have to put up a lot of points to be in the Open Division championship hunt.

No. 4 Phoenix Desert Vista

Great at skill positions, enough talent up front to give teams concerns.

No. 5 Peoria Liberty

Tough in the trenches, the Lions will unleash one of the state's best two-way players in RB/LB Jace Accurso.

No. 6 Queen Creek

Joe Germaine is back in charge with Travis Schurerman focusing on keeping the linemen built to dominate.

No. 7 Mesa Red Mountain

Mike Peterson has built another physical, hard-nosed team that will test opponents' will.

Can QB Jack Miller stay healthy and lead the Firebirds into the Open?

No. 9 Chandler Basha

Playmakers surround experience QB Gabe Friend, as he tries to prove he might be the state's most underrated quarterback.

No. 10 Gilbert Highland

Younger, but not intimidated with the winning mindset coach Brock Farrel has instilled.
