Yuma Catholic tops Buckeye

The Yuma Catholic football team headed to Buckeye to play an undefeated Division IV squad.
The Shamrocks came back home with a huge 37-24 win.

Senior running back Kody Hazlett rushed 28 times for 189 yards and two touchdowns — not to mention he had four receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore Jagan Cleary went 13 of 19 for 163 and two touchdowns without any interceptions.

“We traveled a long way to pick a fight, we’re not going to lay down,” said Shamrock coach Rhett Stallworth.

The Shamrocks (4-1) opened up the game with a 85-yard kickoff return by senior Andy Determan for a touchdown and led the Hawks (4-1) 28-6 at halftime. Buckeye entered the game No. 7 in Arizona Interscholastic Association Power Points and was No. 3 in the Arizona Championship Series at Division IV.

“This shows we’re right on top of the heap,” Stallworth said about Division V, where the Shamrocks entered the game No. 6 in AIA Power Points.

Yuma Catholic returns to face Santa Cruz at home on Friday.
