Scottsdale Horizon quarterback Ryan Stanford was named this week’s Arizona Cardinals high school player of the week.
The two-year starter completed 17 of 32 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns in the Huskies’ 43-20 win over North Canyon last Friday night.
Horizon’s offense also got 186 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 23 carries from running back Matt Jones in the victory.
A plaque will be presented to Stanford by a Cardinals alumnus at a ceremony at Horizon on Friday at 11:30 a.m. during a lunch time.
Horizon (5-3, 1-2 Desert Valley) hosts Scottsdale Desert Mountain (5-3, 1-2) on Friday.
just curious how these kids are chosen? I’m sure this young man is deserving, but there were several performances that were as good or better. Is it up to their coach to nominate them?
