Pat Nugent’s 12-0 Cienega Bobcats will play 12-1 Peoria Centennial on Friday night in the state 5A semifinals at Tucson High. Cienega has been a state football power for a decade, and has a 122-37 record dating to 2004. But that almost pales next to Centennial’s 135-15 since 2006, which includes five state championships. Centennial enters Friday’s game with 12 straight victories yet was only seeded No. 5 in the playoffs. Seems a bit off to me, but no one ever said winning a state championship would be easy.
Cienega's seeding for playoffs seems off
