QB Devon Dampier Devon Dampier 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB Saguaro | 2023 State AZ … WR Deric English Deric English 6'4" | 210 lbs | WR Saguaro | 2023 State AZ | Saguaro
Being ranked the #1 quarterback and #1 wide receiver in Prep Redzone’s 2023 rankings will more than likely get you on this list. After coming off a state championship win in the Open Division, Devon Dampier Devon Dampier 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB Saguaro | 2023 State AZ showed everyone what he is made of. Going 13-19 for 172 yards and 2 touchdowns versus Chandler High, one of the best schools in the country, shows that he is ready to take off this season. With his running mate Deric English Deric English 6'4" | 210 lbs | WR Saguaro | 2023 State AZ , Saguaro should be a favorite to repeat this fall. English coming over from Mountain Ridge, will be ready for a full season as the number 1 guy in the Sabercats offense. Big play after big play on English’s tape, great in space and can make a small catch go for a 50-yard score. Dampier is ready to be the lead man on campus in Scottsdale, and with English going deep, expect another playoff run by Saguaro.

ALA Queen Creek turned some heads last season, going 9-2 on the year and making it to the Open Division playoff bracket, and giving Hamilton a dog fight of a game. This season, teams will be scouting and on the watch for them on the schedule, but that might not matter. Drew Cowart Drew Cowart 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB American Leadership Academy - QC | 2023 State AZ seems to be the new man behind center and leading this team. With a very impressive night last Saturday, Cowart showed everyone that he has a strong arm and very accurate with his throws. Over the middle and deep balls especially impressed, throwing darts for touchdowns. One player that was catching balls and was a threat last season was wide receiver Drake Cluff Drake Cluff 5'10" | 165 lbs | WR American Leadership Academy (Queen Creek) | 2023 State AZ . Averaging almost 60 yards a game last season, Cluff will be one of the main targets for Cowart and will need a big year in order for ALA to succeed again like last season. A lot of great opponents this season on the schedule, Cowart and Cluff will be the reason this team goes far next year.
