Amphitheater moved to 4-0 on the year after beating Rincon/University 42-0 Friday night for the first time since legendary football Vern Friedli guided the Panthers to a 13-1 record in 1997. That team lost to Mountain View Mesa 28-24 in the 5A state championship game but the current team will not get that kind of finish with the majority of Tucson area squads unable to qualify for the state playoffs.
The AIA Bracket Release Show is scheduled for Saturday morning and only Salpointe and Pusch Ridge will have a spot reserved for them in the state playoffs. 2A powers from Southern Arizona, Benson and Santa Cruz, will also draw attention after winning play-in games on Friday night..
