Casa Grande captured the 4A Kino Region crown Friday night with a 28-6 victory at Canyon del Oro but the bigger prize might be unwrapped on Tuesday when the new set of AIA power-rankings are released for football. Ranked No. 5 in the 4A Conference coming in, the Cougars moved to 8-0 on the year and the rankings might reflect enough points to stay near the top of the conference which means the possibility of hosting the first round of the playoffs and, possibly, the quarterfinal and semifinal round.
Canyon del Oro (5-4) is ranked No. 15 this week and the Dorados are hoping to stay ranked in the top 18 of the 4A Conference with No. 1 Cactus (8-0) and No. 2 ALA-QC (8-1) currently slated for a bump up to the Open Division, although Cactus could take a major hit in the rankings with the last two opponents on the schedule having a combined record of 4-12….
