Here’s a breakdown of the Arizona High School Open Football Division quarter-finals on Friday with predictions:
No Goodyear Desert Edge (-0) at No. 1 Chandler (7-0), 7 p. m.
This is the ultimate test for the talented Desert Edge trio formed by Field Marshal Adryan Lara, WR Andrew Patterson and RB Jeryll McIntosh. If you succeed in the face of Chandler’s much-headed defense, it’s as vital a story as locating her this COVID season. it has its own firepower, led by QB Mikey Keene, RB Eli Sanders and receivers Kyion Grayes and Jalen Richmond. Minnesota hires Steven Ortiz Jr. , plays nickel in defense, so he’ll be active all night looking to engage players like Richmond, Grayes and quaron Adams slot receiver.
Prediction: Chandler 42, Desert Edge 14
Not five Peoria Liberty (five-3) in No. 4 Peoria Centennial (6-2), 7 p. m.
This is the moment when they have faced each other in the first circular after the normal season. In 2016, Centennial beat Liberty two weeks in a row to finish the normal season and in the first circular Can coyotes do it again?The Coyotes beat their biggest rivals last week, 34-24, another monster game from RB Kavaughn Clark. Liberty will attempt to confuse Centennial in attack with his various formations. That’s what helped the Lions win their first name 6A finally. They were able to combine things offensively and keep the defenses in front.
Prediction: Centennial 31, Liberty 30

No. 6 Tucson Salpointe Catholic (6-0) at No. Scottsdale Saguaro (5-1), 7 p. m.
These are two of the 3 5A groups to get open offers. Salpointe and Saguaro are simply pleased to have games in this season of uncertainty week after week. Saguaro doesn’t have the offensive superstars of past years, but he has a fair defense that will verify that he will face Arizona Quarterback Treyson Bourguet. If Bourguet has time, he can make a separate defense. But it faces one of the most productive high schools in the state, which strengthened after Saguaro’s 13-7 defeat to Hamilton.
Prediction: Saguaro 28, Salpointe 15
No 7 Tempe Corona del Sol (8-0) in No. 2 Chandler Hamilton (6-1), 7 p. m.
Can Hamilton overtake Corona del Sol without injured quarterback Nicco Marchiol?Or does Hamilton have enough ability to win again? Corona del Sol has nothing to lose and it can turn out that she earned this position at the Open with some other brilliant defensive performance. The Aztecs accept as true with QB Quade Swearingen to play whenever they want. Noah Schmidt on Hamilton.
Prediction: Hamilton 34, Crown of the Sun 14
