5A Northwest
Apollo, Ironwood, Sunnyslope, and Centennial are all represented in to top 10 in the most recent rankings. Things are heating up in a big way in the 5A Northwest. All four of these teams have potential to win their region and I expect all four teams to remain in the top 10 for the remainder of the season.
State Title Contenders
The four teams that I originally picked to be state title contenders are all represented here in the top 10 and I still stand by my prediction. Apollo, Ironwood, Millennium, and Sunnyslope all have the talent, coaches, and players to win the state title. These are four teams that no one wants to match up against come state playoff time.
