Offense: Brig Turley (Snowflake)

Brig Turley carried Snowflake to the 3 semifinals. Literally. Turley had 259 yards rushing and 4 TDs against a Blue Ridge team that averaged giving up less points per game on the season than Turley scored himself.

Defense: De'Angelo Jackson (Gila Ridge)

If you're going to take down the #1 seed in 4A, you might as well do it in dominant fashion. De'Angelo Jackson had 6 tackles for a loss, two sacks, a forced fumble and an interception in Gila Ridge's upset over Sahuaro, and insured he'll go down as one of the best and most clutch players in school history.

Honorable Mention: Connor Witthoft (Salpointe)

Connor took over in the second half on both sides of the ball against Pinnacle. He tipped himself an interception, and then scored a receiving touchdown after a Salpointe defensive fumble recovery.

Offense: Treyson Bourguet (Salpointe)

Treyson Bourguet helped do what I thought couldn't be done. He helped do what I thought wouldn't be done... and he did it only needing 14 pass attempts, completing 10 passes (4 of those were TDs spread amongst 3 receivers). He picked apart a defense that was one of the best in state AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! He dumped 243 yards on them and helped score more points on them than any other team on their schedule. But that's what Beasts do.

Defense: Casteel

They suffocated and harassed a Division 1 QB into FOUR sacks, FOUR pass deflections, and FOUR Interceptions! Two of those picks were housed, another one set up a score. They forced and recovered two fumbles. They completely set the tone and dominated. And when it looked like they were easing up and letting Millenium back in the game, they tightened up and shut them down. Beasts come to dominate and that's what Casteel's defense did.

Honorable Mention: Deshaun Jackson (Mesa Mountain View)

I said that Jackson had to be a factor if Mountain View was gonna pull off the upset, and boy was he... taking a dozen carries and going 160 yards on his way to scoring 3 times. He also caught a TD pass! Jackson helped Mountain View pull off one of the biggest upsets of the night.

Offense: Red Mountain's whole team

I called out the Mountain Lions last week multiple times. I thought Desert Ridge would get revenge for an early season loss to Red Mountain. Man was I wrong. Red Mountain accumulated over 600 yards of total offense in their 49-35 6A Quarter-final victory over Desert Ridge. Senior RB Deonce Elliot recorded 243 all-purpose yards and 3 TDs and Senior dual-threat QB Hyrum Boren 348 total yards and 5 total TDs. Red Mountain's offensive line absolutely dominated and their skilled players performed extremely well. Coach Peterson might want me to choose against his squad again this week if it means they're going to perform like that!

Defense: Jayden Fletcher (Campo Verde)

Coach Ragsdale's Campo Verde squad shocked the state once again last Friday night after defeating regional foe Higley, 26-22 in the 5A quarterfinals. After trailing 22-6 at half, the Coyotes shut out the Knights in the second half, outscoring Higley 20-0. Many players had bigtime performances on both sides of the football for Campo Verde, but none had a bigger impact on the defensive side of the ball than Senior LB Jayden Fletcher. Fletcher lead the team in total tackles with 16 (7 solo), and also caused mass disruption in the backfield with two huge sacks. Fletcher has had a phenomenal year, totaling 114 total tackles and 9 sacks for the Coyotes.

Offense: Dane Christensen (Casteel)

Dane Christensen put on a show Friday night in a 73-28 quarterfinal playoff win over Millennium. Dane went 22 for 28 with 228 passing yards and 3 TDs, and also added some stats on the ground with 8 carries for 34 yards and 3 TDs. That’s 6 total touchdowns for the fast-rising 2021 QB. The 6’3 Casteel quarterback is definitely one to keep an eye on going forward.

Defense: Tre Smith (Red Mountain)

Tre Smith was definitely a standout in a 49-35 win over Desert Ridge. Smith had 8 tackles, 2 of which were for loss and also added 1.5 sacks. At 6’4, 225 pounds Tre brings solid length for the Red Mountains front seven to contain that outside edge. Tre Smith has certainly been productive during his 2019 season with 16.5 sacks, which is 2nd overall in the state of Arizona. .
