Given the Shamrocks' advantage in MaxPreps' Arizona football rankings (they are ranked 24th, while the Padres are ranked 121st), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
The critical scores for Yuma Catholic came from Darryl Coleman, Rocky Stallworth, and Hunter Hancock. The team also got some help courtesy of Benton Beck, who gained 123 total yards.
Yuma Catholic's defense made their presence known, laying out the QB four times. In that department, Stallworth was the leader with two sacks. His also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, picking up two sacks and making 11 total tackles (3.0 for loss).
Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 14-14 at halftime, Catalina Foothills was not quite Combs' equal in the second half on Thursday. They took a 28-21 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Coyotes.
Yuma Catholic strolled past Catalina Foothills in their previous meeting back in September of 2023 by a score of 37-20.
