Thanks to our friends at STATE FORTY EIGHT, 2016 marks the first year that ArizonaVarsity.com will run power rankings.

Each week I'll release my top 48 teams in the state, regardless of division. The idea was inspired by the guys at STATE FORTY EIGHT, an Arizona-inspired clothing brand whose success has given Arizonans yet another thing to be proud of. Make sure you check them out, and support a local business that supports you. My personal favorite is this V-Neck. Or maybe this Snapback. Follow them on Instagram to see photos of Arizonans sporting SFE gear all over the globe- and don't forget to give them a shout out on Twitter!
