Best resiliency: Scottsdale Christian Defending 2A state champion Scottsdale Christian was without 22 players for its 26-24 quarterfinal win over Phoenix Veritas, which was coming off the first playoff win in its history. azcentral.com/story/sports/h… via azcentral

Arizona HS football Coach of the Year still very much up for grabs. But these 2 guys got my attention: Scottsdale Christian's Mike Sheahan and Verrado's Jeremy Hathcock. What they're doing this season, taking in all of the adversity, has been nothing short of remarkable.

Last talk with my boys as we try to repeat! Go Eagles!

My dudes … my island of misfit toys!! Day before state championship and the night after!! What a special group that came together and overcame unbelievable adversity!! 28-27! Back to back state champs!

Reason why I coach high school football.influence young men to not be only great on the field,but be great men off the field! Ex. #1 my1st 2 time all state off lineman at SCA!Called and said coach let’s grab dinner, Will Chambers was a building block for our 2x state champs!
