Sabino junior quarterback A.J. Skaggs has been selected the AllSportsTucson.com APS Digital Print/Tucson Conquistadores Player of the Week for his career night in the Sabercats’ 48-2 win over Tanque Verde last Friday.
Skaggs completed 14 of 17 passes for a career-high 304 yards with five TDs — also a career-best. He had no interceptions. At the end of practice Wednesday, Skaggs and coach Ryan McBrayer will be presented banners produced by APS Digital Print and Skaggs will take home a plaque for his honor.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound prospect is close to eclipsing 3,000 passing yards in his varsity career, which began last season. He has completed 224 of 353 attempts (63.5 percent) for 2,972 yards in his career with 36 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
He has led the Sabercats (5-2 overall, 2-0 in the 3A South) to four wins out of Sabino’s last five games. They have an important region game at Pusch Ridge (4-3, 2-0) on Friday.
