This is a good thing. I’ve always hated how young HC’s wouldn’t get opportunities when AD’s only wanted candidates with “previous coaching experience.” How else am I going to get experience?!
Seems like the last few cycles, most HS admin only wanted coaches with previous head coaching experience. Maricopa and Seton just hired two outstanding assistants with no HC experience. Will be interesting to see if this turns into a trend of hires this offseason.

Arizona State star junior WR Jordyn Tyson will enter the NFL Draft, sources tell @mzenitz and me. Tyson, an expected first-round draft pick, won't play in ASU's Sun Bowl matchup against Duke, per sources.

It's a wrap for the 2025 AZHSFB season. Basha left no doubt that they are the #1 team in the state with their 34-7 win in the Open Division championship. @Mason_Byers5 recaps the dominant performance from the Bears: https://t.co/ydcVlN3Huf

Appreciate all the hard work you put in this season. From taking over the account on game nights, game recaps, and all the other ways you helped cover these tackle and flag football athletes. You’ve helped bring our coverage to another level. More big things coming!
Year 3 completed covering AZHS football. Loved every moment of it. Thank you to every single person on the ride with me this season and a special shoutout to @BJMedia1 for giving me a chance to work with him and live out my dream of covering sports. See y’all soon.

"The job is finished." Casteel knocked off Centennial this afternoon to claim their first 6A title and first state title since winning 3A in 2017. @Mason_Byers5 breaks down a special performance from the Colts: https://t.co/tOMpyYqiCK

Casteel earned the right to call themselves the new 6A champions after exceeding expectations. After their quarterfinal win over Higley a couple of weeks ago, Casteel '27 QB Tee Smith said "what's...

College coaches lock in to @Teesmithjrone he’s ridiculous
Casteel will seal this game up. ‘27 QB Tee Smith is remarkable. He runs for a 68-yard TD. Casteel 42 | Centennial 21 1:36 in Q4
