When the Nighthawks and Tigers met last season, it was a tale of two offenses: Marana’s aerial attack went for four touchdowns, but the run-heavy Ridge won 62-42. IRHS returns running backs Nick Brahler and Nathan Grijalva. Brahler scored a touchdown in 10 of 12 games in 2016 and was the only player on the team to rush for more than 1,000 yards. Expect the Nighthawks to start off the season in the winner’s column with a 38-10 win.
