Centennial is hoping to capture the Northwest League title, while Arbor View is looking to solidify a playoff spot.

Wednesday — Liberty at Coronado, 6:30 p.m.

Thursday — Durango at Sierra Vista, 6:30 p.m.

The Class 3A Sunset League is still up for grabs, and the Desert Shields would have a big leg if they can fend off the Trojans.
