If the MaxPreps state rankings hold true, the near future looks bright for Thatcher. North Pointe Prep and Thatcher go head to head on Friday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff contest of the year. Thatcher have bulldozed their previous six opponents, so North Pointe Prep might have their hands full.
After a string of six wins, North Pointe Prep's good fortune finally ran out last Friday. They fell just short of Veritas Prep by a score of 12-14. A silver lining for North Pointe Prep was the play of senior Nijel Rosado, who rushed for 110 yards and 1 touchdown on 17 carries.
Meanwhile, Thatcher might be getting used to good results now that the team has ten wins in a row. They took the match and then some with a 63-6 victory over Santa Rita. For those curious, yes, that was the biggest victory Thatcher have assembled all season.
