There's a region game on the schedule this week in the 6A, and that's where I'll be as Red Mountain is hosting Williams Field. I was at RM the last time those teams met there in 2021 and on that night, Williams Field won the region. This one could be a factor as to who wins the 6A East Valley Region in '23.
Williams Field (4-0) followed up its miracle Week 1 comeback over Brophy with three more wins. The Black Hawks have already equaled their 2022 win total and have likely surprised most of the outsiders. It's no surprise that Dylan Lee is leading the way on offense. The RB was averaging 154 yards per game in the first three for WFHS (no stats posted for Week 4 yet).
Red Mountain (3-1) is also undefeated against Arizona competiton. Junior QB Simon Lopez is completing 75 percent of his passes for 711 yards and 7 TDs with just one interception. A dual-threat, Lopez also has five rushing touchdowns. The Mountain Lion defense has 9 takeaways through the past 4 games.
Both teams have faced Desert Ridge over the past 2 weeks with Williams Field defeating the Jaguars (35-12) easier than Red Mountain did (36-30). The Black Hawks have been installed as a 2.5 point road favorite in the Arizona Varsity pick 'em contest. Can they keep the unbeaten string going? I'll be out in east Mesa to find out!
