Emptying the vault from what was supposed to be one of the better E.V. games in Desert Vista/Basha. Except it wasn’t.
Thumbs down to Basha fans, or lack thereof. There were no more than 100 people on the visiting bleachers, and that included the band. Either they’re psychic, or didn’t notice Friday’s game was pretty darn important.
Everyone and their pet rock is recruiting Desert Vista junior Devon Kennard (ASU, LSU, Florida, etc…..), and for very good reason. Stanford folks were at the school and roaming the sidelines Friday, not just to watch Kennard, but a couple others from Desert Vista and Basha. My gut says he’s going to let this process play out through next fall. He’s only a junior, what’s the hurry?
On a related topic, there’s a reason the BCS schools are watching: He’s an absolute nightmare to stop on either side of the ball.
Don’t let Devon Kennard’s smile fool you
Desert Vista looked the part of a state championship contender Friday. But they won’t be unless this becomes the norm from here on out. And they don’t fumble twice near the goalline. And they don’t commit nearly 100 yards in penalties.
Basha’s offense looks much-improved from a year ago. Troy Graham is a solid quarterback and Dusty Rush can’t be tackled by one person. But the defense just isn’t the same that dragged the Bears to the state semifinals last year, and it wasn’t going to be given the unit’s youth and inexperience.
Steve Figueroa is one of the best tight ends in the state, which is why he’s headed to ASU, but most wouldn’t know it because the Thunder have barely thrown the ball. They haven’t needed to the past few weeks, but one of these Fridays….
Acouple of losses to quality teams and Basha fans dissappeared
