If there was an Arizona state championship in the IFL, the ´óÏóAPPSugar Skulls won it Saturday night against the Northern Arizona Wranglers.
The Sugar Skulls routed Northern Arizona 59-38 at ´óÏóAPPArena on a Saturday, a week after ´óÏóAPPedged the Arizona Rattlers in triple-overtime fashion.
The Sugar Skulls have won the regular-season series against both the Wranglers and Rattlers for the first time in franchise history. ´óÏóAPPis 4-1 against its in-state counterparts this season.
Sugar Skulls’ quarterback Jorge Reyna (11) hands off the ball to a couple of fans after his two-point conversion run during the fourth quarter against San Antonio on May 31, 2025, in Tucson.
Up next: ´óÏóAPP(5-6) hosts the Vegas Knight Hawks (7-5) on Sunday at 3:05 p.m. Vegas has former Arizona Wildcats quarterback Jayden de Laura and former UA defensive lineman signee Adam Plant, a 6-6, 270-pound defensive lineman, who played collegiately at TCU and UNLV.
´óÏóAPPhas five games remaining in the regular season and is 1.5 games out of fourth place in the IFL Western Conference standings. A top-four finish would put the Sugar Skulls in the IFL playoffs. ´óÏóAPPcould conceivably finish second in the Western Conference standings.
