American Leadership Academy – Gilbert North took chances and made big plays to get past a very tough Sabino squad 33-21 Friday night in the northeast foothills of Tucson. In all, the Eagles converted on four fourth-down situations and extended time-consuming drives by getting past several difficult third-and-long obstacles that the team saw as opportunities.
“I’m not putting any of this on my guys,” Sabino head coach Ryan McBrayer explained. “That’s a very good team and they’ve been scoring 60 points a game and our defense held them.”
ALA-Gilbert North improved to 3-0 on the year with two previous wins by scores of 69-0 and 60-0 so the Sabercats effectively cut that video-game scoring average in half Friday night and the Sabino offense was the first to put up points against the Eagles defense. The Eagles fumbled ball away after only two carries and Sabino cashed in on the turnover with Andres Baca ripping off a 25-yard scoring run three plays later….
