2019-Sollenbergers-Az-Football-Prep New Championship Leads To New Cover Look By Jose Garcia azpreps365.com Hello. If you’ve seen the back issues of the Sollenberger’s AZ Football Prep Maga- zine, you probably noticed the change to this year’s cover. We took a different approach this year because of the introduction of a new crown, the Open Division. Some of the state’s top returning players usually grace the cover. That’s one of the things the Sollen- berger is known for, and that tradition will continue. This year, we just wanted to highlight one of the biggest shifts in the Arizona Inter- scholastic Association's football championship history. The best eight big schools will compete during the Open Division tournament each year. In this year’s Sollenberger, azpreps365.com’s Les Willsey details how the Open Division teams will be selected and why the Open Di- vision was introduced. Also in the magazine, there’s a story on a team that’s celebrating its 70th state championship anniversary this year. The story on the 1949 Chandler Wolves was written by Barry Sol- lenberger. He originally published the story on the 1949 Wolves in 1999, six years before Sollenberger, an AIA historian and high school sports walking encyclopedia, passed away. This year is also big for Arizona high school football because of all the talent in the 2020 senior class. azpreps365.com dug up some of Sollenberger’s all-state collections of elite Arizona senior classes, going as far back as the 1920s. In the magazine, we published the classes that stood out, and there are plenty. Speaking of plenty, there’s a lot more to read in this year’s special edition of the Sollenberger, which was first published in 1971. We can’t wait for one of the more highly antici- pated seasons to begin. The 2019 Sollenberger’s AZ Football Prep Magazine is designed and published by Kukulski Brothers. Special thanks to Brian Bolitho, Frankie Acosta, Brian Lukas, Seth Polansky, David Kukulski, Andy Kukulski, Matt Kukulski and Pam Kukulski for their efforts with this publication. The staff writers are Jose Garcia, Andy Morales and Les Willsey of azpreps365.com. Intern Stephen Perez also con- tributed stories. The Sollenberger cover was designed by Daniel Navarrette. We also want to thank Verrado’s foot- ball program for helping us with the cover photo shoot near its campus. Verrado High football players Austin Bilski, Jose Gomez, Cameron Coronado, Blake Gamez, Logan Gingg and Dilon Hanson held the trophy during the photo shoot.

That wrinkle — approved by the AIA's executive board in January — is an Open Division tournament. It's no secret there's been little to no mystery the last several years who would win the respective 6A, 5A and 4A football conferences titles. Many fans wait with bated breath for prognosticators top-10s in July/August when there has essentially been no need — 6A Chandler (three- peat in progress), 5A Centennial (repeat and three titles in four years) and 4A Saguaro (four-peat in progress and eight titles in nine years this decade) are heavy favorites for the next year seconds after stepping off the field with their most recent title trophy. There will still be state champs crowned in the six existing conferences — 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A. The hope is the Open Division will fuel renewed intrigue and perhaps make more competitive the 6A, 5A and 4A conference title chases. The Open Division is set up to feature eight teams, based on a separate ratings system from the regular power-ranking format that identifies the 16-team fields in 6A, 5A and 4A. Only schools in 6A, 5A and 4A are eligible to compete in the Open Division. The eight teams competing in the Open Division will be identified by a computer program taking into account all games a team plays, including out of state contests with a strength of schedule component and a 14- point cap on margin of victory (hence no rewarding of lop- Who will lift the Open Division trophy for the first time?

  • Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003
    Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn.
