Marana has won six straight games at home, while Horizon has won six straight on the road, but those streaks won't matter much on Friday. The Tigers will host the Huskies at 7:00 p.m. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, these teams will really light up the scoreboard.
Marana is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Friday. They walked away with a 34-27 win over Yuma Catholic.
The match pitted two dominant signal callers against one another in Colten Meyer and Nash Ott. Meyer had a great game and threw for 423 yards and four touchdowns. Meanwhile, Ott was balling out in the loss, throwing for 223 yards and a pair of TDs, while also rushing for 50 yards.
Meanwhile, Horizon earned a 40-29 victory over Notre Dame Prep on Friday.
Horizon's win came from a few key players Marana will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was James Klopfenstien, who rushed for 112 yards and one score on only six carries, and also caught one touchdown. His longest rush was for an impressive 57 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Bodie Zamorano was another key player, rushing for 123 yards and a pair of TDs.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Horizon proved: they limited Notre Dame Prep to a paltry 3.4 yards per carry. The team can thank Gage Lee for the heroic effort on defense: he. Horizon didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged 8.4.
Horizon's win bumped their record up to 9-2. As for Marana, their victory bumped their record up to 10-1.
Marana was dealt a bruising 55-3 loss at the hands of Horizon in their previous meeting back in August of 2019. Thankfully for the Tigers, Jake Martinelli (who threw for 176 yards and a pair of touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punched in two scores on the ground) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
