4A KINO SCHEDULING NOTES:
— The 4A Kino has three of the most tenured coaches locally, all of whom have enjoyed success — CDO’s Scott McKee (first year with the Dorados but in his 19th season of being a head coach following stints at Pueblo and Sahuaro), Mica Mountain’s Pat Nugent (22nd season overall, fourth at Mica Mountain) and Walden Grove’s Corey Noble (eighth year at the school). Sahuaro’s Al Alexander (third year) and Pueblo’s Sly Lewis (first) were also longtime assistant coaches locally at established programs (Alexander at Salpointe and Lewis at Sabino) before getting their chance to be a head coach.
— CDO, transitioning without coach Dustin Peace and 28 seniors from last year, starts defense of its 4A state title with a game at Mesa Eastmark, which was 9-3 last year. The Dorados then host Bradshaw Mountain, which was 7-4. The Dorados also play 5A schools Desert View on the road and Marana at home. They have a difficult end to the schedule playing three of their last four region games on the road.
— Catalina Foothills’ new head coach Greg McKinstry II is under a much different situation with the Falcons coming from the struggling 2A program at Catalina (which he tried his hardest to resuscitate). The Falcons have one of the most arduous non-region schedules playing at perennial power Yuma Catholic in Week 2 before hosting 5A schools Buena and Tucson and consistent winner Pusch Ridge in the following three games. At least all those games are at home. And then Catalina Foothills plays four of its five region games on the road.
— Mica Mountain hosts Poston Butte (6-5 last season) before visiting Mesquite (5-5) to start the season. The Thunderbolts then visit defending 3A state champion Sabino before hosting 5A school Sunnyside. The non-region schedule wraps up with a game at Casa Grande before the Thunderbolts open at home against 4A Kino opponents Pueblo and CDO after having to start on the road in the first two region games last season.
— The Lewis era at his alma mater kicks off at home against Nogales on Aug. 30. Four of the Warriors’ five non-region games are against local schools with the other game a trip to Vista Grande at Casa Grande in Week 2. The Warriors play three of their first four region games at on the road before ending the regular season at home against Sahuaro.
— The eastside rivalry game between Sahuaro and Sabino kicks off the season Aug. 30 at Sabino. The Cougars play four of their five non-region games on the road, including a game at Northwest Christian (9-3 last season), before playing their first four region games at home in somewhat of a unique schedule. Sahuaro had to do the reverse last season, however, playing their first four region foes on the road.
— Walden Grove gets a revenge game at home against Northwest Christian to open the season Aug. 30 after the Red Wolves lost twice to the Northwest Christian on the road last season, including in the first round of the 4A state playoffs. Walden Grove’s non-region schedule is as difficult as it gets with games at Arcadia, Cienega and Desert View after the game with Northwest Christian. Mountain View, a 5A school, then visits in Week 5 before the region schedule starts. After games at Sahuaro and Pueblo to open 4A Kino play, Walden Grove hosts the last three region games.
