Ledainean Moore Has Career Rushing Day
On Friday, Cienega got the W thanks in part to Ledainean Moore playing the best football he has all season. Moore rushed for 167 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.4 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The victory snapped Cienega's losing streak at three games and leaves them with a 3-3 record. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Bobcats takes on Marana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Marana Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Dezmen Roebuck
Dezmen Roebuck was instrumental in extending Marana's winning streak to seven on Friday. Casa Grande had no answer to Roebuck as he picked up 114 receiving yards and a touchdown. Roebuck's receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 114 receiving yards.
Casa Grande's probably not too fond of Roebuck given he always seems to get the better of them. When Roebuck last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he picked up 141 receiving yards and a touchdown.
