MaxPreps Football Tour of Champions celebrates Chandler High School

The 14th Annual MaxPreps Tour of Champions presented by the Army National Guard passed through Arizona on Tuesday, January 8 to recognize Chandler (Ariz.) High School and its football team for winning a state championship and earning a high national ranking.

Having upended Perry 65-28 in the AIA Conference 6A state championship contest, the 13-1 Wolves claimed their third straight state football title, earned the No. 21 ranking in MaxPreps' National Rankings and played their way into the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 Writers' Poll at No. 15!

The Tour of Champions is no stranger to Arizona, having honored many high schools from the Greater Phoenix Area over the past 14 years. Chandler is no exception. As part of the TOC, the Wolves were honored with a trophy presentation at halftime of the boys varsity basketball game against Basha, a 57-47 Chandler win.

The Wolves were presented with commemorative TOC T-shirts from the Arizona Army National Guard. Then, once halftime arrived, MaxPreps representative Danielle Ferrante took center court and discussed Chandler's fantastic 13-1 football season before introducing Sergeant Monique Moore of the Arizona Army National Guard.

SGT Moore spoke briefly about teamwork, dedication and excellence, shared character traits of the Army National Guard and a state championship football team before presenting head coach Shaun Aguano and the Wolves with the Army National Guard national ranking trophy and a nationally ranked rafter banner as the crowd exploded with excitement. One of only fifty football programs being honored on this year's TOC, the Chandler Wolves completed an outstanding football season, earning a third Army National Guard national ranking trophy. Congratulations to Coach Aguano and the Wolves on your fantastic championship season! We look forward to seeing you in the future for trophy No. 4!
