Heading up to North Scottsdale this week for a big 5A matchup between Cactus and Desert Mountain.
Cactus (2-1) rallied to score the last 27 points of the game (all in the 4th quarter) in a 41-30 win over O'Connor last Friday. It was a school-record game from Juju Stubblefield, who had 16 catches for 224 yards. One concern - the Cobras were limited to just 12 yards rushing.
Desert Mountain (3-0) made the Open last year, but graduated a lot off of that team. The Wolves have been sound defensively, though allowing just 21 points so far. The defense even scored the first 4 points of the game in last week's 18-7 win over rival Chaparral with a pair of safeties. No stats posted on MaxPreps from that one yet (hint-hint), but QB Bryce Herges threw 7 total TD passes in the Wolves' first 2 wins.
It's been 9 years since I've seen a game out at DMHS. Should be an entertaining one!
