“I’ve prepared for the last four years like I am the starter. As a backup, you’re always a play away, and I’ve always been told that. I prepared like a starter the whole week, and we were able to get a win. It was very fun,” Bourguet said. Not only was Valladay the recipient of Bourguet’s first handoff for a score, but he was also on the receiving end of the former Marana High School standout's first touchdown pass as well. Bourguet stood in on a corner blitz off the edge. He stepped and fired in the direction of the pressure, threading the needle to Valladay, who was able to waltz into the end zone for his second touchdown of the day. Bourguet earned his keep all afternoon, but he did pay for it on a couple of snaps.
“That’s a play that we installed this week that Coach Thomas thought we had a good chance of seeing against this team,” He explained. “They have great defensive backs, and we thought we could hit them with that route. We were trying to connect on it in practice, and I think we hit it a couple of times this week, so I’m glad we could execute on the field and get a big touchdown.”
