Another change for the program is AZ Compass joined the most prestigious league in all of high school sports, the NIBC. AZ Compass Prep exploded onto the scene beating Montverde Academy and Sunrise Christian in the opening weekend of the season. For the Dragons, it was the first time in program history to beat Montverde, and by late November 2022 Compass had captured the No. 1 ranking in the country. But it is tough to stay atop the NIBC as the Dragons found out. Now after 2 losses in the NIBC, AZ Compass Prep is looking to get back to what they had early on. Still led by Head Coach Ed Gipson and Program Director Pete Kaffey, the Dragons have pressure to win it all at the Geico Nationals in April.
