Where: Del Sol High School
When: 11:45 AM
The 8U Division Game of the Week will take center stage on Saturday afternoon at Del Sol
High School as the Sun Devils travel to battle the Del Sol Wolverines. The Sun Devils enter
this game looking to push them closer to a playoff spot with yet another victory. The Sun
Devils team strength this season has certainly been their defense. The Sun Devils have
given up just over 12 points a game this season as a team, and will look to put the clamps
on the Wolverines offense in this game. The Sun Devils meanwhile will need to pick things
up on the offensive side of the football behind the leadership of Nylen Johnson and Antonio
Spann. The Del Sol Wolverines meanwhile will be hungry to keep pace with the top of the
8U Division as they try and defend their home field on Saturday. The Wolverines feature a
strong offense that will look to challenge the Sun Devils defense on Saturday. The
Wolverines offense averages over 21 points a game, and they will need that offense to play
up to par if they want to survive and escape with a victory. The Wolverines will look to
Jerome Sequeira and Charles Buckner to help them survive this Game of the Week with a
victory.
Las Vegas Broncos (3-2) VS Las Vegas Longhorns (0-5) – 8U Division
Where: Ed Fountain Park #8
When: 1:30 PM
The Las Vegas Broncos will look to rebound from a loss last weekend as they take on the
Las Vegas Longhorns at Ed Fountain Park. The Broncos already have 3 wins this season,
but a 4th would almost guarantee them a spot in the playoffs. Thanks to the stellar play of
Demichael Burks and Catrell Love, this team has found a way to ramble to big scoring plays
on offense. The Broncos will look to build on the offensive side of the football, as they have
averaged 15 points a game as a team thus far. The Longhorns meanwhile will be looking to
turn their season around here at this point, as they are still in search of their first win of the
season. The Longhorns have struggled on both sides of the football, but have certainly
played hard each and every time out. They will look to Head Coach Ron Cardenas to come
up with a strategy to slow down the Broncos Saturday afternoon, but most likely running
back Derek Burton will be at the center of their team plans.
Henderson Cowboys (4-1) VS 702 49ers (2-3) – 8U Division
Where: Liberty High School
When: 1:30 PM
The Henderson Cowboys and 702 49ers essentially share Liberty High School as a home
field, so both teams will be looking to stake claim this weekend in what should be an
exciting showdown. The Henderson Cowboys earned a huge victory Monday night in a
thriller over the Aces at Ed Fountain Park, and will try and build on that momentum heading
into this weekend. The Cowboys however have no time to take a breath however, how as
the 49ers are a tremendous team to match up with. The Cowboys will need all of their
offense that has averaged over 26 points a game this season. The Cowboys are led by the
likes of Dino Roberts and Jerry Meyer, who will look to steal the 49ers gold this weekend at
Liberty High School. The 702 49ers come into this game below .500, but hungry to get
back to even as they hope to make a push for a spot in the playoffs with a victory on
Saturday. If they hope to defeat the Henderson Cowboys, they will need to improve on the
offensive side of the football, as they average fewer than 15 points a game this season.
The 49ers will need Treyton Savea and Xavier Iocolano to have huge games if they hope to
take down the Cowboys this weekend.
Mojave Green Machine (1-4) VS Desert Oasis Jr. Diamondbacks (1-4) – 10U
Division
Where: Desert Oasis High School

season last weekend over the Southern Highlands Rebels, and hope that win is a
momentum builder. The Green Machine will need to fuel up their offense, as they have
averaged just over 5 points a game. If the Green Machine hopes to survive this road game
with a victory, they will need Joseph Gonzalez and Karina Alfaro to play like the leaders they
can be. The Diamondbacks meanwhile will be attempting to flatten the Green Machine’s
tires this weekend as they too make a push for a playoff spot. The Diamondbacks will also
need to improve on offense, where they have averaged just over 6 points a game this
season. The Diamondbacks will look to rely on Keli’I Meirs and Keith Haddock to lead them
on the ground and in the game Saturday in this exciting matchup.
Del Sol Wolverines Gray (1-4) VS Western Ducks (4-1) – 10U Division
Where: Western High School

The Wolverines will need to improve on offense, where they have averaged just over 5
points a contest as a team. The Ducks meanwhile feature a tremendous defense, one that
has given up just 6 points per game to their opponents, so you know they will try and make

will look to Dakari Jackson and Dawson Levine to power them to their 5th win of the season.
Arbor View Aggies (3-2) VS Las Vegas Longhorns (3-2) – 10U Division
Where: Ed Fountain Park #8
When: 11:45 AM
The Arbor View Aggies and Las Vegas Longhorns both sit squarely in the middle of a logjam
of teams with 3-2 records. A fourth victory for either team would all but assure them a spot
in the playoffs, while a loss would drop them to .500, and put them in extreme danger of
missing the playoffs. These two teams might also be the most improved teams here this
season, so earning a playoff spot is certainly a huge goal for both teams. What does that
equal, well, that means this matchup will be the 10U Division Game of the Week. The Arbor
View Aggies have gotten to this point behind back to back 35-0 victories the past two
weekends. That hard work will need to continue in this one, as they will try and keep
building on their offense that has averaged 21 points a game this season. The Aggies will
turn to Coda Woolstenhulme, Neo Hernandez, and Jordan Hales to power their offense as
they try and lasso the Longhorns at Ed Fountain Park. The Longhorns meanwhile will try
and break free and run wild as they search for a big win this weekend. The Longhorns will
try and break out of a little losing streak, as they have fallen to the 49ers and Sun Devils in
back to back weekends. If the Longhorns hope to break back to the win column, but will
need to improve on the 15 points per game they have averaged this season. To do so, the
Longhorns will turn to Jaden Peru and Michael Carpenter to help push them back into the
win column. This should be an exciting game Saturday, so stay tuned to see how this 10U
Division Game of the Week turns out.
Las Vegas Sun Devils (2-3) VS Del Sol Wolverines Gold (1-4) – 10U Division
Where: Del Sol High School
When: 1:30 PM

the Game of the Week, so expect this to be another exciting matchup Saturday afternoon at
Del Sol High School. The Sun Devils and Wolverines Gold team currently sit on the outside
looking in of the 10U Division playoff picture, but certainly still have a chance to get in.
That being said, a win here is paramount if either team hopes to sneak into the playoffs.
The Sun Devils have been led by Ja’Marion Smith and Tysean McCraney, so expect that duo
and the rest of the Sun Devils to try and heat things up this weekend for the Wolverines.
The Sun Devils are in contention for a playoff spot thanks to back to back victories, and an
improved offense is at the heart of that push. On the season the Sun Devils have averaged
just over 16 points a game, but the Sun Devils will need to build that number if they want
to take down the Wolverines Gold team. The Wolverines meanwhile have played a very
tough schedule thus far, and while the win column hasn’t been as kind as they would have
hoped, they certainly are building a ton of experience up. The Wolverines Gold team
features a strong offense that has averaged nearly 25 points a game, despite the tough
competition. The Wolverines will need to look to Michael Ferguson and Messiahra Combs to
lead them this weekend if they hope to climb in to the chase for a playoff spot.

and area. The Henderson Cowboys enter this game trying to find some solid footing. This
seasons Cowboys squad has seen a bit of roster changeover. That being said, they still
have a ton of talent, headlined by Levi Fulton and Isaiah Hampton who will try and power
the Cowboys to victory on Saturday. The Cowboys and 49ers both average 25 points a

between the Gators and Seahawks. Because of that, this matchup is paramount for the

record, they have done so thanks to big wins over a number of divisional contenders. The

been nothing short of thrilling this season, but the addition of CamRon Barfield to their
roster a few weeks back makes this Gators squad even more dangerous. The Gators
offense has averaged over 33 points a game this season, so expect them to try and get on
the march early and often in this showdown. The Las Vegas Seahawks meanwhile are
looking to make a huge statement with a victory this weekend as well. The Seahawks also
