The No. 1 seed Sunnyside Blue Devils (22-0-1) have put together a near-flawless season of dominating every opponent in their way.
It is tough to see anyone competing with the Blue Devils in these playoffs.

The No. 2 seed San Luis Sidewinders (11-0-1) have also been incredible this season and are on an 11-game win streak. They made it to the 6A state championship last season but fell short to the Perry Pumas (14-4-2).
Congratulations to Perry High School's Boys Soccer team, your 2023 6A AIA State Champions!
The Pumas stunned previously undefeated San Luis, 2-0, Saturday night to capture the school's first 6A state soccer title. @perry_pumas @PerryPumas07 @CUSDAthletics #WeAreChandlerUnified pic.twitter.com/oxHmd8j08j
