What we learned from Friday night's 6A, 5A and 4A football semifinals for Arizona high schools.

Now the Pioneers are playing for a gold ball for the first time since the school opened in 2000 after knocking off top-seeded Casteel 49-42 in the 6A semifinal.

Robinson won't get that kind of coverage from Highland, which will bracket him. Free safety Joseph Allen is a beast, maybe the best safety in the state. Pinnacle might have to find alternative ways to crack through that Highland defense, which is as opportunistic as any in Arizona.Maybe the Arizona Interscholastic Association had it right by promoting schools that had major success in their previous conference. Look at 5A and 4A.

By turning Galvan loose the last two weeks, Cactus has a chance to pull one more upset, against No. 3 Gilbert Higley in next Friday's 8 p.m. 5A title game at Sun Devil Stadium.Higley couldn't have scripted it any better, beating No. 2 Scottsdale Desert Mountain 35-33 on a walk-off field goal by Konner Olson. The key play was Jamar Malone II's first-down completion on third-and-eight from his 41 to keep the chains moving, leading to the Olson field goal.

"Crazy how that's happened," ALA GN coach Randy Ricedorff said about two teams playing in 3A a year ago meeting for the 4A gold ball."Snowflake is a really good team. Should be a great championship."
