Sahuarita football coachΒ David RodriguezΒ inherited an 0-10 team when he began rebuilding the Mustangs four years ago. He has since gone 33-8, and is one of two remaining unbeatens in Division IV entering the final week of the regular season. Phoenix Seton Catholic is also 9-0. Rodriguezβs team spins around senior quarterbackΒ Calvin Jenkins, a dual threat who has completed 63.2 percent of his passes and rushed for 634 yards, or 8.5 yards per carry. Jenkins is as strong a choice as anybody to be Southern Arizonaβs 2014 Player of the Year. He gets plenty of help from two standout junior defensive players:Β Tanner LiddicoatΒ has 84 tackles andΒ JacobΒ OntiverosΒ has 81.
