Buena does not have a game scheduled for next Friday, so perhaps coach Joe Thomas should on Tuesday schedule an opponent on the road for the open date.
For the second straight week, Buena scheduled its opponent on a Tuesday the week of a game, and both times now, the Colts have emerged as convincing winners near the Phoenix area.
After the Colts’ game at Salpointe scheduled for Friday was postponed until Oct. 23 because a Lancer tested positive for COVID-19 last week, they traveled to Scottsdale to face Paradise Valley and routed the Trojans 58-6.
Last week, Buena went to San Tan Valley and beat Combs 33-20 after Combs’ originally scheduled opponent, Cave Creek Cactus Shadows, had to back out because a player tested positive for COVID-19.
Buena had 431 yards of total offense against Paradise Valley, including 250 on the ground, and its defense once again held the opponent in check.
The standouts for the Colts against Paradise Valley (0-2):
— QB Austin Grimm completed 9 of 12 pass attempts for 181 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed six times for 43 yards.
— WR Keyon Taylor, a junior, caught seven passes for 129 yards, including an 86-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter that opened the scoring. Taylor also had a punt return for 40 yards.
— RB Jelani Brown had nine rushes for 147 yards with an 82-yard touchdown run.
— RB Isaac Benoit carried the ball six times for 95 yards, including a 68-yard score.
— TE William Stemler caught a 48-yard touchdown pass.
— RB Mark Jusino had three carries for 32 yards with a touchdown.
— LB Rhubin Harris caused a fumble and recovered it deep in Buena territory to thwart Paradise Valley’s first possession. He later scored on a 33-yard interception return.
— FS Austin Cox had an interception.
— LB Damien Garza returned an interception 40 yards to set up a score.
— PK Kailey Peters accounted for nine points for the second consecutive week. She made a 19-yard field goal (she has made all three of her attempts this season) and was 6 of 7 on her extra-point attempts.
Buena’s scheduled remaining games as of now are at Salpointe (Oct. 23), at Casa Grande (Oct. 30) and at home against Cienega (Nov. 13).
