Week 3 of the Arizona high school football season is here. 

Like every year, we are starting to see teams separate themselves. Basha and Hamilton look like juggernauts. Liberty is likely still in that conversation, too, but took a hard stumble against Corner Canyon (UT) last week on the road. 

Desert Edge continues to impress on a weekly basis. And the Scorpions are only going to get better as the season goes on.

Below is a look at some of the key matchups this week between teams ranked in the top 10 of their respective conferences or those who received votes, as well as a full view of the Week 3 Arizona Varsity Statewide Media Poll – voted on by the people who are on the ground taking in all the action.
