Have to shout out @JaelenStrong and @azcompassfb as his squad seeks to win back-to-back state championships tonight.

The Dragons have yet to allow an opponent to score on them all season and are putting up an average of 48 points per game.

I got the chance to sit down with Jaelen before the start of the season to talk about why he decided to settle in Arizona and coach at Arizona Compass Prep.

His biggest reason: The love he received and still does from Arizona State.

I think every ASU fan is going to want to watch this clip ⬇️

The Pinnacle Pioneers found themselves in the Open bracket for the first time since 2019 this morning. PHS will get a home game thanks to its win over Salpointe last night. Pinnacle took a 3-score lead and then hung on as the Lancers mounted a rally. https://t.co/xyk2qs5dFP
