The day is finally here: the beginning of the 2025 Arizona high school football season.

Players, coaches, parents, boosters, marching bands, cheer teams, pom squads, and even the people who run the concession stand have been gearing up for today.

In just four months, four new, or repeating, teams will be crowned state champions at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe.

Anticipation is building. Not just for the coaches, but the players too.
