Saguaro, Liberty win 6A and Open Division Championships
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) —The AIA high school football state playoffs wrapped up Saturday with the 6A and Open Division Championships.
In the early game, Saguaro topped Red Mountain 40-20, making them your 2023 6A state champions. The Sabercats, with a balanced attack, ran for 210 yards, threw for 210 yards and earned their 14th state title in the program’s history. They’re one shy from tying Blue Ridge’s record of 15 state championships.
In the evening game, after back-to-back years of heartbreaking losses — losing in the state semi-finals — the Liberty Lions finally got what they worked for: their first Open Division state championship, taking down Centennial 33-21 in a west side showdown. It’s Liberty’s second-ever state title in the program’s history — their first since 2019.
