Chanez Made His Presence Known in Tucson High Magnet School's 34-14 Victory
Tucson High Magnet School found a leader in Noah Chanez as the team took down Maricopa on Friday. Chanez was dynamite, rushing for 110 yards and two touchdowns on only 15 carries, while also picking up 37 receiving yards.
If the past is any indication, Chanez could be in store for another big game when he takes on Flowing Wells on Friday. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Chanez saw the Caballeros), he picked up 42 receiving yards and a touchdown, and also rushed for 64 yards on only five carries.

Izaac Lopez Crosses Big Stat Threshold
On Friday, Maricopa had to settle for second even though Izaac Lopez put up the best numbers he has all season. Lopez forced a fumble, made 14 total tackles, and defended a pass in addition to snagging an interception. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 5.7 total tackles per game. Maricopa is undefeated when Lopez posts three or more total tackles, but 0-3 otherwise.
On the year, Lopez has averaged 5.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 0.29 defended passes per game. This year he is averaging 0.86 defended passes.
Gamescore: 27.23
Dominick Drow Turns in Season-Best Effort
Dominick Drow produced his most outstanding game to date while leading Tucson High Magnet School to the win on Friday. Drow wasn't messing around, picking up a sack and making 13 total tackles. The game was his seventh straight with five or more total tackles.
For the year, Drow has averaged 9 total tackles per game and for the season has 4 sacks.

Mountain View now has a winning record of 4-3. Lewis and Mountain View will be staying on the road on Friday to face off against Maricopa at 7:00 p.m.
