The top four teams this decade (2011-2015 seasons) in big school football based on semifinal or better finishes are Hamilton, Chandler, Mountain Pointe and Desert Ridge.

Hamilton, Mountain Pointe and Desert Ridge have reached the big-school final four or better four times in that span and Chandler three times. They've played each other quite often during that time as well.

So with Chandler at Mountain Pointe tonight (Thursday Sept. 8) and Hamilton visiting Desert Ridge Friday (Sept. 9), here's a couple fun facts involving them:

Championships: Hamilton, Mountain Pointe and Chandler have one each. Desert Ridge none. Overall records: Hamilton 58-10 (.852); Mountain Pointe 54-11 (.831); Desert Ridge 54-12 (.818); Chandler 49-15 (.766). Records head-to-head: Hamilton (11-7), Mountain Pointe (8-5), Chandler (7-8) and Desert Ridge (1-7).
