Richard Obert Arizona Republic Published 7:57 PM EDT Sep 15, 2018 Let's take a ride through Week 5 of Arizona high school football. There were stumbles and fumbles, jet-fueled offenses and tremendous kicks. Biggest takeaway Are there no limits to numbers produced in this quarterback state? At least two quarterbacks threw for more than 600 yards. Yuma Catholic's Gage Reese passed for 609 yards and seven touchdowns, completing 26 of 43, in a 49-27 3A win over American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek. Meanwhile, Gilbert's Will Plummer (brother of Purdue QB Jack Plummer) threw for 668 yards and six TDs in a 74-57 loss to Peoria Sunrise Mountain. Both quarterbacks are only juniors. Plummer completed 41 of 70 passes and was intercepted twice. He also recorded a sack at linebacker. Not bad for a kid who figured to be a tight end before he won the quarterback job in the summer. He succeeds his brother Jack, who never had a 600-yard passing game in high school. "I tell you what, he's a … [Read more...] about Arizona high school football: What we learned in Week 5

What we learned from Week 2 in Arizona high school football
Richard Obert Arizona Republic Published 8:53 p.m. UTC Aug 25, 2018 Lightning delays. Lightning plays. Shocking wins. Great relief work. A look at Week 2 in Arizona high school football: Biggest takeaway Phoenix Pinnacle is the real deal. Watch out Chandler. This might be the year the Pioneers break through and win it all at the highest level. When you lose quarterback Spencer Rattler and running back Matt Goodlow in the first half and still put up big points, as it did in a 56-34 win over Phoenix Mountain Pointe, it shows how well-equipped coach Dana Zupke is equipped for adversity. Junior J.D. Johnson passed for 286 yards and three TDs, completing 14 of 18 in relief work. Kaleb Covington and Amelec Juntunen filled in nicely in the backfield. And the Pioneers never skipped a beat. This is going to be a dangerous team in late November. No wonder, shirts are being worn with the date Dec. 1 on the back. That's when the state title game will be played and this appears to be Zupke's … [Read more...] about What we learned from Week 2 in Arizona high school football
