Matchup: Glendale Mountain Ridge Mountain Lions (0-0) at TUCSON HIGH BADGERS (1-0)

Where: 400 N. 2nd Ave.

UA quarterback Brandon Dawkins has a high school version of himself in Tucson Highโ€™s Jesus Montano. How do they compare? We all know the running joke about the Wildcats beating ASU 56-35 without attempting a pass in the second half, and Montano doesnโ€™t pass much. He completed two passes on six attempts against Sierra Vista Buena last week, but ran for 113 yards and two touchdowns. The Badgers beat Mountain Ridge 28-0 in Glendale last year and the same results will show behind Montanoโ€™s legs. Tucson High wins, 35-7.
