Saguaro is treating the rest of its games as if it is the playoffs. That's because it doesn't want left out of the Open.
Scottsdale Saguaro has something to prove to the naysayers who only looked at its .500 record.
Saguaro came into the game not even in the top eight of this week's AIA Open ranking. The top eight teams from 6A, 5A and 4A make the Open, which is in its fourth year. "I laugh at when people say, 'Welcome to 6A,'"said Mohns, whose team was elevated from 5A to 6A this year by the Arizona Interscholastic Association."Nobody has ever played this 6A schedule."Senior quarterback Devon Dampier didn't have to carry the offense, although when the Cats need a big play, he delivered, as usual. Dampier led a 16-play, 97-yard drive, capped by his 10-yard pass in the end zone to Deric English for the first points of the game.
