Marana Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Dezmen Roebuck
Marana picked up their seventh consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Dezmen Roebuck. Roebuck was unstoppable, picking up 114 receiving yards and a touchdown. His receiving production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 114 receiving yards dating back to last season.
Roebuck must have Casa Grande's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Roebuck picked up 141 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.
