The Arizona Interscholastic Association has announced that opening day of the 2020 season will commence on Wednesday, February 26th. Programs were allowed to begin practicing and holding tryouts in an official capacity on February 10th. The PBR Arizona staff will start to begin its 2020 season coverage starting with our Preseason Power 25 rankings. Over the next several weeks and leading up to opening day, we will be highlighting some of the top programs in state in our team previews. PBR will also be publishing its state Power 25 rankings that will be updated every Monday going forward. Throughout the season, PBR will be pumping out coverage, highlighting individual players, games, rankings, scouting reports and nominating a player of the week.
