The path to an undefeated regular season for No. 1 Scottsdale Notre Dame has become much clearer of late. Coming into the season, the consensus was the Saints’ toughest competition would come from within the Black Canyon Region. That doesn’t appear to be the case any more.
Phoenix Washington, the only team in the region Notre Dame has never defeated, is off to a 1-3 start.
Phoenix Moon Valley and Phoenix Greenway, believed to be the Black Canyon’s second-best teams, are both a disappointing 2-1, each having lost to the only quality opponent it has faced.
And neither Phoenix Cortez (2-1) nor Glendale (0-3) are threats.
That leaves Chandler Seton Catholic (4-0) and Marin Catholic (1-1) of Kentfield, Calif., as the most imposing obstacles remaining. Seton will attempt to upset the Saints this week while Marin Catholic gets its chance to ruin perfection on Oct. 18.
Don’t count on either team prevailing. A 10-0 regular season for Notre Dame is as sure a thing as there is in the always unpredictable world of high school football.
