Preseason Preview: Prescott Badgers

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Overview </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prescott comes into the fall after posting a 4-6 record in 2023, which is definitely a down year" for the regularly competitive 4A squad. Don't get it confused though, as 3 out of their 6 losses were within one score, which really could have flipped a 4-6 season to a 7-3 season, as all of their wins were blowouts, which likely would have given them a great seed in the playoffs. This year, I expect them to come out hot as they return a number of big time playmakers and could definitely be that sneaky team in 4A. To support this, they retain two of the best players in the state in 4A and possibly the two most electric-big play guys as well with [player_tooltip player_id='583076' first='Uriah' last='Tenette'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1193495' first='Johann' last='Gundermann']. Tenette will takeover the QB1 role which is huge for Prescott, as he holds that dual threat ability and is a sure big play threat on the ground. Gundermann provides that elite speed and that spark and is a fast developing, quickly rising prospect that is showing legit FCS potential. I think if and when these two can develop a chemistry, Prescott's offense is gong to be lethal, especially with the other upcoming kids who they have big expectations for like Josiah Peoples and [player_tooltip player_id='1200982' first='Adam' last='Lloyd']. Really looking forward to what PHS can bring to the table here this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PrescottFB/status/1765138281648509246","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/PrescottFB/status/1765138281648509246 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Players </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='583076' first='Uriah' last='Tenette'], ATH '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>25/45 for 320 yards passing and 4 TD's </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>79 carries for 733 yards and 10 TD's </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>40 receptions for 434 yards and 6 TD's </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>51 tackles, 2 INT's</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1193495' first='Johann' last='Gundermann'], WR '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>43 receptions for 844 yards and 11 TD's </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1200982' first='Adam' last='Lloyd'], ATH '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>88 carries for 482 yards and 4 TD's </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>72 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 INT's </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Josiah Peoples</strong>, WR/DB '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>12 receptions for 239 yards and a TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>66 tackles and 1 INT</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Gunnar Parra,</strong> OL/DL '26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>49 tackles and 2 sacks </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cooper Kasun</strong>, LB '25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>73 tackles and 4.5 sacks</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PrescottFB/status/1774868570952097994","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/PrescottFB/status/1774868570952097994 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schedule </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8/30- La Joya </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/6- @ Thunderbird</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/13- @ Northwest Christian </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/20 Vista Grande</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>9/27- Combs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/4- Lee Williams </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/17- @ Flagstaff </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>10/24- @ Bradshaw </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>11/1- Coconino</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>11/8- @ Mingus </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
