Last week: Desert Vista beat Mesa 29-15, Chandler lost to Dobson 39-0

Desert Vista: WR Allante Battle, WR Luke Matthews, TE Steven Figueroa, OG Austin Fix and QB Cole Pembroke

Chandler: TE Dion Jordan, RB Herold Bernard, RB Steven Jackson, QB Payton LaCivita and WR Archie Woulard

Desert Vista: DB Allante Battle, DB Luke Matthews, DE Devon Kennard, DL Zeb Togiai, OLB Mike Sadoway and LB Keith Anglin

Chandler: CB Marc Anthony, LB Kurt Mangum, S Herold Bernard, DB Archie Woulard, DL Chandler Walker and LB Matt Ichrist

Can Chandler rebound from last weeks devastating lost to Dobson? The Wolves couldn't get anything going on offense and their defense looked like Swiss cheese at times, but their biggest problems were mental mistakes. Chandler had four turnovers and 12 penalties. This week they face off against another talented team in Desert Vista. Both of these teams look similar on paper, but DV has some playmakers on the defensive line that will keep Chandler's O-line on their toes all night.

Galarza: CHANDLER 21-17

Perryman: DESERT VISTA 28-24

Rattay: CHANDLER 30-28

4A-I

No. 3 Cactus (2-0) vs. No. 4 Canyon del Oro (3-0)

Last week: Cactus beat Cactus Shadows 38-11, CDO beat Catalina 48-21

Cactus: RB Mike Brown, WR Bruce Yeo, TE Cory Myers, QB Jake Moreno, OL Tony Brumel and OG David Proehl

CDO: QB Daniel Nicholas, TE Joe Bortano, WR Ray Nettling, RB Griffen Ronstadt, OL Brent Lush and WR Derek Brown

Cactus: DE Jake Griggs, SS Jeff Pollock, DE Spencer Jones, LB Troy Hernandez, LB Ben Monarrez and DB Chrisman Hughes

CDO: LB John Tabor, LB Brandon Emans, LB Brent Lush, DB Derek Matlock, DB Ray Nettling and DB Griffen Ronstadt

Both of these teams can put up a lot of points so it's going to come down to which defense can perform the best. The Cobra defense will have their hands full with CDO QB Daniel Nicholas. There is a reason why he is the best QB coming out of Southern Arizona: he is a duel threat QB that can beat you through the air and on the ground, containing him will be key. Cactus has many key players on offense including one of the state's most notable RB's in Mike Brown. They also have an outstanding offensive line. Look out for safety Jeff Pollock on the defensive side.

Galarza: CACTUS 31-21

Perryman: CACTUS 24-14

Rattay: CDO 24-14

4A-II

Last week: Greenway beat Bradshaw Mountain 20-19, Coronado beat Cortez 20-7

Players to watch on offense

Greenway: TE Brenin Brooks, OT Dustin Freitag, WR Tyler Gettings, WR Ben Cox, RB John Weaver, RB Vi Luong, RB Marshall Galbraith, QB Greg Walton and OT Sajed Shubair

Coronado: RB Travis Huff, QB Skyler Glessing, WR Brian Dunlavey, OL Jesus Trujillo, TE JD Harper and RB David Alfaro

Greenway: LB Brenin Brooks, DE Dustin Freitag, DB Tyler Gettings, DB Ben Cox, DT Jordan Bryan, DB John Weaver and LB Corbin Jones

Coronado: DL Jesus Trujillo, DE JD Harper, LB David Alfaro, DL Sergio Arocha and DB Zach Jaekel

The Greenway Demons went from not winning a game last year to starting off 2-0 this season. Moving down a division and returning a solid group of players has definitely helped. Look for both teams to pound it out on the group most of the game. This could end up being a close one and will come down to which defense can stop the run the best.

Galarza: GREENWAY 28-24

Perryman: CORONADO 21-14

Rattay: GREENWAY 21-7
