Super 10 (includes all conferences)
No. 1 Phoenix Shadow Mountain (16-0): With only seven regular-season game remaining, it will be hard to find a challenger in 4A with guard trio Marcus Shaver, Jaelen House, Jovan Blacksher.
No. 2 Chandler Basha (16-0): Delivered huge statement with 30-point rout of Apollo at Visit Mesa Challenge.
No. 3 Glendale Apollo (14-3): Is there really a 30-point gap after Basha?
No. 4 Phoenix Desert Vista (9-2): Not lost to an Arizona team but will find out soon enough how legit it is in 6A with games against Gilbert Perry and Gilbert this week.
No. 5 Tempe Corona del Sol (12-2): Bounced back well from loss to Apollo in Visit Mesa behind senior guards Alex Barcello, Saben Lee.
No. 6 Avondale Westview (13-1) Captured Scorpions Challenge title without leading scorer D’Maurian Williams.
No. 7 Scottsdale Chaparral (11-3): Losses to 6A Mesa Red Mountain and Corona del Sol should only help the Firebirds become a major factor in 5A.
No. 8 Phoenix Sunnyslope (13-2): Chris Orozco brings his lunch pail every game, leading by example in 5A.
No. 9 Laveen Cesar Chavez (14-4): Captured Phoenix Union tourney without top player Mike Rogers.
No. 10 Glendale Deer Valley (12-4): Breaks into the Super 10 for the first time without a senior in rotation.
