Cody Cameron’s Rankings 9/4

The Open 8  

  1. (1-0) Liberty
  2. (1-0) Basha – What a season opener for Class of 2026 QB Brodie Vehrs. The junior in his first ever start, tossed five touchdown passes in the Bears’ big win over Millard South.

  1. (1-0) Hamilton
  2. (1-0) Chandler
  3. (1-0) Red Mountain –Class of 2025 DB Logan Haynie is an early candidate for one of my favorite defensive backs in the state.

 

  1. (0-1) Centennial – Brutal schedule to start but still a top team in the state. They have another Top-8 matchup versus Highland on Friday.
  2. (1-0) ALA Queen Creek
  3. (1-0) Highland 

6A Top 10 (Open Teams excluded)

  1. (1-0) Brophy
  2. (0-1) Williams Field – Even with the loss to Brophy, the Black Hawks move up on my list. This is a good, well-coached team.
  3. (0-1) Pinnacle
  4. (1-0) Perry – The Pumas looked fast and violent on defense last week. Loved the effort from that group in their week 1 win over Desert Ridge.
  5. (1-0) Queen Creek – Great matchup vs Casteel this week. The Bulldogs look to avenge a close 35-28 loss against the Colts last season. Junior QB Tait Reynolds lit up Sunrise Mountain last week and one of his favorite targets, senior WR Quintin Miles, had a heck of a game hauling in 5 receptions for 137 yards and two touchdowns.
  1. (1-0) Mountain Pointe
  2. (1-0) Casteel
  3. (1-0) Mountain View
  4. (1-0) O’Connor
  5. (0-1) Chavez – The Champions enter the Top-10 even with last week’s loss. They went toe-to-toe with a top team in the state and almost pulled it off. Proud of coach Hovik and his team!

5A Top 10

  1. (1-0) Higley
  2. (0-1) Desert Edge – Tough first game for the Scorpions offensively, but they won’t face a better opponent than Liberty unless they make the open. Class of 2025 LB Josh Hopphaus is an absolute monster, loved his game film versus the Lions.

 

  1. (1-0) Desert Mountain
  2. (1-0) Horizon
  3. (1-0) Marana – What a week 1 win for Marana! Coach Steward and the squad made history beating 6A Salpointe Catholic.
  4. (1-0) Cactus
  5. (1-0) Notre Dame Prep
  6. (1-0) ALA Gilbert North
  7. (1-0) Kellis

10.(1-0) McClintock
