If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Cactus. On Friday they take on Youngker at 7:00 PM. Both teams will be looking for a pick-me-up after considerable defeats in their previous games.
Cactus found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 15-41 punch to the gut against Salpointe Catholic last Friday. Cactus got a solid performance out of senior Zaach Cullop, who picked up 61 yards on the ground and caught passes for 61 yards; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory.
Meanwhile, if Youngker were riding high off their 60-20 takedown of Maryvale two weeks ago, that ride came to an abrupt end. Youngker suffered a grim 13-42 defeat to Glendale. Youngker were down by 7-42 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Given their recent losses, both teams have a little extra motivation heading into this weekend. Given their recent losses, both teams have a little extra motivation heading into this weekend.
