The Hamilton Huskies will take on the Desert Ridge Jaguars at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Hamilton will aim to continue their three-game streak of scoring more points each matchup than the last.
Hamilton is headed in fresh off scoring the most points they have all season. They breezed past Shadow Ridge to the tune of 58-0 on Tuesday. Given the Huskies' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona flag football rankings (they are ranked sixth, while the Stallions are ranked 98th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
A big part of Hamilton's victory came down to the chemistry between Marlie Phillips and her top target Markiah Riley. Phillips threw for 246 yards and four TDs while Riley picked up 164 receiving yards and four scores. The dominant performance also gave Phillips a new career-high in rushing yards (34).
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Hamilton proved: they limited Shadow Ridge to a paltry 1.6 yards per carry. The team can thank Demi Woods for the heroic effort on defense: she. Hamilton didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 13.4.
