ArizonaVarsity Top 10 Rankings: 2A (8/30/2022)
Willcox beating the brakes off of Gilbert Christian caused a rankings shake-up this week, and while stats haven't been uploaded yet, I was able to find a link to watch a replay of the game. (Check it out for a wildly unsafe fireworks display at the 41:30 mark) Cristian Pando had himself a game, setting the tone early with a first quarter TD, and defensively, Gilbert Christian had no answer for 6-4, 230-lb Willcox DL Darrek Lee, and FRESHMAN Christian Teeters had a fourth down sack that really impressed me. Up 13-0, sophomore Remington Todd took a ball right out of a receivers' hands for an interception, and Aidan Fuentes scored his second consecutive TD (He had 3 on the day) to make the game 20-0 at the half. Gilbert Christian closed the gap to 26-14 toward the end of the third quarter, but Willcox responded with a near 8-minute Pando TD drive to slam the door shut on any chance of a comeback.
If I had to give anyone on Willcox some pub that hadn't previously been mentioned, Willcox DL Mikey Martinez and LB David Allred are fantastic passrushers on a loaded 2A defense.
Also a bit of a surprise is San Tan Charter sitting at 2-0. After letting last year's coach (Kerry Taylor) go, some might be surprised to see STC have early success.
New to the top 10 this week are Miami, who defeated Chandler Prep, and Sequoia Pathway, who got two fumble recoveries from Kyrese Banks and three rushing TDs from Kevin McIntosh in a blowout over Veritas Prep.
Maintaining the top 3 spots are Pima, Scottsdale Prep, and Morenci.
