Outlook
This division could see a new champion this year with three unbeaten teams among the con- tenders - Campo Verde (12-0), Prescott (14-0) and Ironwood (13-0). Defending champ Mes- quite is 10-1, but its schedule was not hearty and lost 8-1 to Campo Verde just a week ago. Horizon has three losses, but defeated Shadow Mountain - likely quarterfinal foe - during the regular season, 7-2 . Look for a Horizon-Campo Verde semi matchup. Ironwood and Prescott are situated in the bottom half of the bracket and destined to meet. Ironwood-Prescott, based on common meetings (wins) over Horizon, give Ironwood the edge to reach the final.
