The team also got some help courtesy of Tj Ottun, who rushed for 68 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, San Tan Charter was fully in charge on Friday, breezing past NFL Yet Academy 73-0 at home. The victory made it back-to-back wins for San Tan Charter.
It was another big night for Zayden Neill, who threw for 124 yards and three touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Benny Sharpe was another key contributor, rushing for 100 yards.
Their wins bumped Arete Prep to 4-5 and San Tan Charter to 7-2.
