This Friday, I'll be heading to Scottsdale to see a consensus-Top 10 team in the 5A Conference as Horizon (1-0) plays host to Marana Mountain View (1-0).
Horizon brought the offensive firepower in a 48-8 win at Canyon View last week. Quarterback Jase Ashley (252 yards) threw 2 of his 3 TD passes to Jordan Partridge (117 yards). Bodie Zamorano added 102 yards on the ground and 3 rushing touchdowns for the Huskies.
Marana Mountain View held Gilbert to just 68 passing yards in a 23-21 victory last week. The defensive came up big for the Mountain Lions as Diego Gomez had 2 of the team's 3 interceptions and Julien Sanchez had 2 of Mountain View's 3 sacks. The Lions had to rally as they trailed 21-17 before Gomez had a long punt return with less than 3 minutes to go. Damien Wallace then connected with Michael Davis for the game-winning TD with less than a minute to go. In Year 16 of covering HS games, this will be my first Marana MV game!
Can Mountain View get some more magic and pull off the stunner, or will Horizon put another pounding on in its home opener? I'll be on hand to find out.
