No. 19 Salpointe (3-5) – Salpointe is on the edge with teams ranked 13-20 making the state playoffs. The Lancers will host No. 4 Chandler Basha (6-2) this Friday and then finish at No. 20 Mesa Westwood (3-5).
5A CONFERENCE: TEAMS RANKED 1-24
No. 7 Desert View (9-0) travels to No. 41 (4-5) Flowing Wells this week. The Jaguars are in but a first-round bye is at stake with only the top eight earning one.
No. 16 Marana (6-3) hosts No. 38 Vista Grande (4-5) this week. Teams ranked 9-16 will host a first round game but No. 16 will play No. 1 in the second round.

No. 25 Canyon del Oro (4-5) travels to No. 42 Casa Grande (1-8). Even with a victory, the Dorados will need the right teams to lose ahead of them.
No. 26 Sunnyside (4-5) travels to No. 29 Mountain View (3-6). The Blue Devils need a lot of help.
4A CONFERENCE: TEAMS RANKED 1-24
No. 2 Mica Mountain (8-1) hosts No. 17 Sahuaro (5-4). Both teams appear to be safe where they are.
No. 8 Walden Grove (6-2) travels to No.53 Amphitheater (1-8) on Friday. The Red Wolves could drop out of the top eight.
No. 19 Sahuarita (7-2) travels to No. 41 Cholla (5-4). The Mustangs appear to be safe for a playoff spot but could drop.
No. 25 Pueblo (6-3) travels to No. 57 Empire (0-9). The Warriors will need help to get in the top 24.
3A CONFERENCE: TEAMS RANKED 1-16
No. 4 Thatcher (7-2) hosts No. 13 Coolidge (5-4). A top four seed is at stake.
