UA football coach Rich Rodriguez and offensive line coach Jim Michalczik were unable to watch the 2014 debut of their sons, quarterback Rhett Rodriguez and tight end/lineman Max Michalczik, both sophomore starters at Catalina Foothills on Friday night. They are two of nine sophomores who played significantly for Jeff Scurran’s team. Foothills attempted to switch the game to Thursday night to avoid a conflict with the UA-UNLV game, but Desert View chose to play on Friday. Foothills won 63-0. Scurran’s coaching staff includes former Cal and NAU running back Covaughn DeBoskie-Johnson, older brother of UA freshman receiver Kaelin DeBoskie.
