MESA - Every fall, playoff football always starts with a couple of surprise results.
By seed and season record, if not by program reputation, No. 14 Centennial delivered a shocking twist to the 6A football bracket, upsetting #3 seed Red Mountain 21-7 in Mesa on Nov. 15.
Each team has been experiencing a lot of ups and downs overall. The Hawks were a favorite to return to the Open Division final and started 0-4. Red Mountain started 7-0 and was #3 in the Open Division rankings, then lost its final three and fell into the 6A bracket.
