Dezmen Roebuck's big game helped extend Marana's winning streak to seven on Friday. Roebuck turned in nothing short of a gem, picking up 114 receiving yards and a touchdown.

Roebuck must have Casa Grande's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Roebuck last faced the Cougars back in October of 2023, he picked up 141 receiving yards and a touchdown.
