A Season-Best Performance from Jeffrey Smith3rd Leads Marana over Casa Grande

The win for Marana keeps them at an undefeated 7-0. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Tigers challenges Cienega at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Ledainean Moore's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
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.
Cienega moved to 3-3 with that victory, which also ended their three-game losing streak. A feisty cat fight will be fought when Bobcats dukes it out withMarana at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Dezmen Roebuck and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Dezmen Roebuck was instrumental in extending Marana's winning streak to seven on Friday. Roebuck turned in nothing short of a gem, 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.
Unfortunately for Casa Grande, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Roebuck. Roebuck picked up 141 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Cougars duked it out back in October of 2023.
