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 High’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 doesn’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 Montano’s legs. Tucson High wins, 35-7.
