With one week to go in the regular season, Chandler Seton is ranked 20th in the 4A-II power points.
So to make the postseason, the Sentinels would need to leapfrog four teams in the standings.
Sounds next to impossible, right? Well, Seton might have a better chance than one would think.
The five teams ahead of Seton are: Mohave, Catalina, Desert Edge, Coconino and Thunderbird.
On Friday, Mohave plays undefeated Mingus, the top team in power points. Catalina plays Amphitheater, a team that is 6-3. Desert Edge plays undefeated Liberty. Thunderbird plays a Paradise Valley squad that is 5-4 and will be a heavy favorite.
Those four teams will be underdogs in their season finales.
Coconino, the other team ahead of Seton, plays Flagstaff. Coconino has a better record, but the teams are only separated by a game. This is the game that could keep Seton out of the postseason.
Then again, the Sentinels have to beat Gilbert Higley on Friday to let these scenarios come into play.
“If we don’t win, nothing else matters,” Seton coach Rex Bowser said.
