The Arizona Interscholastic Association has announced that opening day of the 2020 season will commence on Wednesday, February 26th. Programs were allowed to begin practicing and holding tryouts in an official capacity on February 10th. The PBR Arizona staff will start to begin its 2020 season coverage starting with our Preseason Power 25 rankings.
