Posey, Sunnyside heading in right direction 

Since Richard Sanchez retired five years ago, Sunnyside’s football program hasn’t been bad, going 26-20. But Sanchez set such high standards that Glenn Posey’s first five seasons have not received a lot of attention. That may be changing now. After beating top-ranked Division II Mountain View on Friday, 46-20, the Blue Devils (2-1) look to be back to the long-ago status as a team to beat. Road games at Salpointe Catholic, Cienega and Sahuaro await, but with senior quarterback Nick O’Hagin already throwing for 815 yards and rushing for 233 more, this could be one of the year’s top stories in high school football.
