Salpointe Catholic is where it thought it would be — in the newly created Open Division. The Lancers are only in a different seed than the No. 2 spot they have occupied since the beginning of last month.
Bijan Robinson, Lathan Ransom and Co. go into the Open Division playoffs Nov. 15 with a No. 4 seed, hosting No. 5 Pinnacle (8-2).
The Lancers (9-0) had a double hit with a 76-0 win over an 0-10 Vista Grande coupled with Canyon del Oro falling to Casa Grande. A No. 4 ranking means a possible semifinal game against No. 1 Chandler.
Robinson, a Texas commit, and Ransom, who says he is bound for Ohio State, headline a Salpointe team that outscored opponents 58.2 to 9.1 this season. In 4A Kino games, in which the Lancers had a 5-0 record, they outscored opponents 55.4 to 6.8.
The Lancers are also led by safety Charlie Raetzman, who has six interceptions; defensive end Luke Regina with a team-high 9.5 sacks; linebacker Trent Strong with a team-best 63 tackles; and quarterback Treyson Bourguet, who in two starts is 18 of 27 with 330 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception.
