State Championship MVP’S

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Big time players make big time plays in big time games! Take a look: </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Open Division </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Centennial vs Liberty</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>MVP: </em>[player_tooltip player_id='115509' first='Navi' last='Bruzon'], QB, Liberty 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who else would you expect to show up in a big time game? Bruzon capped off his high school career by bringing a title back to the west side, as he threw for 174 yards and 2 TD's while adding 110 yards and a TD on the ground to hang up 33 points on the best defense in AZ. He never once didn't show up in a big time game, and again shows that natural leader ability along with tremendous compeitive toughness. A flat out great football player with tremendous IQ, and has done everything he possible can do to draw in that big time P5 attention. Much deserving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">6A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Saguaro vs Red Mountain </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>MVP: </em>[player_tooltip player_id='115508' first='Mason' last='Bray'], QB, Saguaro 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bray finally got his opportunity in 2023 and despite an injury, adverse regular season, he stepped up when they needed him most. He went nearly perfect by going 19/21 for 202 yards and 3 TD's and added 23 yards on the ground. It's important to note that 133 of that 203 went to [player_tooltip player_id='115483' first='Jaci' last='Dickerson'], as Bray was able to consistently find that mismatch all game. A big time game for a kid who earned every single thing for himself in 2023. <img class="wp-image-1100145" style="width: 330px" src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/11/Screen-Shot-2023-11-29-at-7.54.26-AM.png" alt=""></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Desert Edge vs Higley </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>MVP:</em> [player_tooltip player_id='1134311' first='Gunner' last='Fagrell'], QB, Higley 2025</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not many people knew who [player_tooltip player_id='1134311' first='Gunner' last='Fagrell'] was before the season, but they do now. He made a name for himself all year and delivered on the biggest stage in 5A by throwing for 363 yards and 2 TD's and rushing for a TD to help Higley secure back to back state championships. It was a game that tested competitive toughness and how you respond through adversity, and Fagrell kept it together and played a major role on a close game that people are still all over twitter about. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Canyon del Oro vs Yuma Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>MVP:</em> [player_tooltip player_id='169438' first='Kayden' last='Luke'], RB, Canyon del Oro 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Luke had himself a huge game in the 4A state title by rushing for 221 yards and 2 TD's on the night. He flashed that work horse ability as he carried the rock 28 times and proved that he won't back down from anything. Strong, stout kid with great physicality and pad level, as he frequently shows the ability to pick up those extra yards after initial contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KaydenLuke2/status/1732115678637982072?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KaydenLuke2/status/1732115678637982072?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Sabino vs Paradise Honors</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>MVP: </em>Mason Cade, RB, Sabino 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sabino took down Paradise Honors in shootout fashion 68-46, and out of all the highly talked about players on the field, it was Mason Cade that showed up the most and put together a very impressive performance. He carried the ball 23 times for 373 yards and 5 TD's to propel that Sabino offense over Paradise Honors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2A</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Scottsdale Christian vs Pima</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>MVP:</em> [player_tooltip player_id='115535' first='Andrew' last='Trapp'], ATH, Scottsdale Christian 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Trapp was an absolute cheat code as nobody had an answer for him. He hauled in 10 catches for 184 yards and 2 TD's to help SCA get the win over Pima. He shows good spatial awareness with the ability to find those soft windows to make himself a clear and visible target. He was excellent after the catch, as he showed good burst, vision, COD, and possesses that top end speed for big play ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
