Chandler vs. Hamilton: Get ready for Arizona's biggest high school football rivalry
High school sports media days are in vogue this school year. Almost everybody is doing one, it seems.What started in 2013 when Steve Belles was leading Hamiton's football team and Shaun Aguano was in charge of Chandler's program, the annual luncheon, this time at Soho 63 on Tuesday, again was the center stage early to build up the biggest high school football rivarly in Arizona — Chandler vs. Hamilton.
Last year, Hamilton ended Chandler's 45-game winning streak. It was also the first time Hamilton beat Chandler since 2013, after having beaten the Wolves 17 consecutive times, dating to their first-ever meeting in 1999. That's when Terrell Suggs had transferred over from Chandler to Hamilton and became an unstoppable tailback, barrelling through and past defenders.
This has been a season of adversity for the Huskies, starting with being placed on probation only to have it lifted, replacing their defensive coordinator, then losing starting quarterback Roch Cholowsky and running back Nick Switzer to injuries. "On that Tuesday in practice , he started letting it rip," Zdebski said."We're like, 'OK, we might have a chance.' He did it on Friday."
A'mauri Washington, an Oregon commit, leads a strong front line. Linebackers Dominic Hanger, Roman Kupu and Donnovan Hamblin are outstanding tacklers. The back end is well-protected by Kennedy Urlacher, Orion Kupu and Juma Kashanda.
