Meanwhile, Carl Hayden Community kept a clean sheet against Central on Wednesday. They put the hurt on the Bobcats with a sharp 4-0 win. Considering the Falcons have won five contests by more than two goals this season, Wednesday's blowout was nothing new.

Carl Hayden Community is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games, which provided a nice bump to their 8-2-1 record this season. The wins came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they scored 36 goals over those eight matches. With that draw, Desert Edge's record moves to 7-7-2.
Desert Edge might still be hurting after the 9-0 loss they got from Carl Hayden Community when the teams last played back in November of 2017. Will Desert Edge have more luck at home instead of on the road? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more soccer content.
