4. Centennial (6-2) beat Liberty 34-24

Demari Washington's interception clinched the win and most likely an Open Division appearance for Centennial.

Liberty chipped down to the Centennial 15 but Brock Mast threw his second pick, caught by Demari Washington just outside the left corner of the end zone with 2:50 left to play. Looks like the dagger to seal this victory for Centennial for an Open Division playoff berth #azreplay pic.twitter.com/3Uxd6lGIDv
