First two offers for Perry lineman Scott come in from the Big Sky
UPDATED: 10/30/19
Colleges across the nation continue to take notice of the prep talent in Arizona each season. More than 360 players from the Class of 2019 signed with schools to advance their football careers, and receive an education.
This was another busy week with 40 players receiving offers!
Times for all college games are given in terms of Arizona time (MST).
The offense at Perry has been among the best in the state once again with 454 yards and 40.4 points per game. Manning one of the tackle spots is Hunter Scott, who received his first two offers over the past week from Big Sky Conference schools Idaho and Northern Colorado. The 6-5, 245-pounder has a 3.5 GPA. Last summer, Scott took part in camps at Northern Arizona, San Diego State, and UTEP. The Pumas finish the regular season Friday at home against Basha in the annual Battle for Val Vista. Idaho (3-5) returns from its bye this Saturday with a home game in the Kibbie Dome against Cal Poly (2-6). In their last game, the Vandals dominated Idaho State on defense with four turnovers, three returned for touchdowns in a 45-21 win. On offense, Jeff Cotton, an alum of Marana Mountain View, had a new career high with 192 yards on 10 catches.
In addition to Scott, Northern Colorado also offered three other Arizona seniors from the East Valley. Collecting offers from the Bears were Broc Lane, AJ Laux, and Parker Navarro. Lane is a 6-4, 230-pound tight end at Perry. He has 20 catches for 229 yards and four touchdowns this season. Off the field, Lane totes a 3.95 GPA. On the field, Ralph Amsden gave a review of Lane's film earlier this month for Arizona Varsity. Laux is a 6-4, 285-pound offensive tackle and long snapper at Higley. He is an Eagle Scout that started at Casteel on varsity as a freshman before transferring to Higley after his junior year. Laux maintains a 3.625 GPA. Higley is in position to make the Open Division tournament as it takes a 7-2 record into Friday's home game with rival-Williams Field. Navarro is a 6-foot, 190-pound quarterback at Desert Vista. In his second year as a starter, he has 18 touchdown passes with just four interceptions. Navarro is running a lot more this year as well, with 697 yards and seven TDs for the 7-2 Thunder, who wrap up the regular season at Queen Creek Friday. Northern Colorado (1-7) is also coming off its bye week and will head to Idaho State (3-5) on Saturday. In their last game, the Bears had a season-best 497 yards with 300 coming through the air. The lone win for UNC this year came in late September at home against Idaho (27-24).
Lane also earned an offer from Bucknell on Monday. Bucknell took a 17-7 lead into the fourth quarter last Saturday at Lafayette, but the Leopards rallied for a 21-17 win. Bucknell (1-7) is off this week and will return home to Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium in Pennsylvania to renew its rivalry with Lehigh (4-3) in a Patriot League (FCS) game on Nov. 9.

Hamilton WR Rice commits to Colorado Buffaloes
UPDATED: 10/16/19
Looking back on Colorado's trip to the desert last month, you have to say it was a win-win.
In the primary order of business at the time, the Buffs edged Arizona State, 34-31 on Sept. 21. A day prior, head coach Mel Tucker stopped by Hamilton High School in Chandler to get a first-hand look at Brenden Rice. The wide receiver didn't disappoint with five catches for 69 yards along with 75 kick return yards in a 42-13 victory over Mountain Pointe.
The 6-2, 205-pound wideout announced his commitment to CU on Tuesday in a video.
Rice selected Colorado over several other schools, including Michigan, Arizona State, and Oregon. He took his official visit to Boulder in the spring and returned for the Colorado's thrilling comeback win against Nebraska on Sept. 7.
He told Arizona Varsity's Cody Cameron that he plans to take on a leadership role and help change the way people view Colorado football. Cody's full interview with Rice can be found here.
Rice has scored 23 touchdowns in his three-year varsity career and has more than 2,000 all-purpose yards.
Colorado faced Air Force's option-heavy team earlier this year and on Saturday, the Buffs will go against the Air Raid of Washington State (3-3). Colorado (3-3) will travel to Pullman for the game, which will be televised by ESPNU and will kick off at 4 p.m. CU has lost its last two games, but have 12 takeaways this season and are a +4 in turnover differential.
Another member of Williams Field's offensive line is heading for the Division I ranks.
Joshua Gale, a 6-4, 215-pound tight end will be playing his college ball at UC Davis as he made it known on Tuesday night.
Gale just went on his official visit to the Northern California school last weekend during the Black Hawks' bye week.
"Every time I went to UC Davis on visits, I would fall in love with the school and the community more and more," Gale said in a text message. "The people at the campus and on the team took me in right away and I believe that they can teach me a lot more to help me on my football and academic careers."
Williams Field has used the tight end quite a bit in the passing game this season. Gale has 22 catches for 492 yards and five touchdowns. Two of those scores of come in the last two games in region wins over Casteel and Gilbert.
Gale is the second Arizona senior to commit to the Aggies, joining Chaparral cornerback Kamdan Hightower. He is also the third WFHS lineman to commit as Noah Nelson (Oklahoma) and Cooper Darling (Oregon State) have previously announced their college intentions.
UC Davis is coming off a Homecoming win over Cal Poly (48-24). The Aggies scored 34 straight points in the first half. This week, UC Davis (3-4) takes to the road and will go to Cedar City to face Southern Utah (1-6) in a Big Sky Conference game.
