Last night was last time I will coach one of my own kids. No one tougher than
#66
. Played all 4 playoff games with torn ACL/meniscus. Played for his teammates, and maybe a little for his coach. Thanks Zach!🙏
O’Connor Football wins their first Region Championship in 11 years! Big win over our rivals to seal the deal! Proud of our players and coaches!🏈💪

Didn’t have any of my guys sign early today. Not sure if I’ll have any sign at all. Doesn’t matter, I’m proud of ALL the guys who play for me!! D1, D2, D3,NAIA, Juco, or finished after HS. Love ‘em all!! Always! 🙏🏈
Good day at the NAU 7s tournament yesterday! Beat some solid teams in pool play, lost to eventual champs Basha in bracket play. Not a bad day for a bunch of “wing-t guys”!😉
Thanks

Great job by all the HS teams who participated!
Thank you to all the college coaches who stopped by and checked out the players!
D1(FBS/FCS), D2, D3, and NAIA coaches all represented! 👍🏈
7vs7 and Big Man events seem to be costing more and more these days! Especially the ones the colleges are putting on.
Gonna have to do another fundraiser just to pay for the month of June!!🙄🤷♂️
@azc_obert
@azcentral
Thanks for the shoutout Richard!
But honestly, ALL football coaches who have gone through the 2020 season of craziness and uncertainty deserve a C.O.Y. award! 🏈💪
Any High Schools still looking for a 7 on 7 Tournament?
Saturday Night Lights
June 11th Hosted by O’Connor HS. If interested DM me!
First 15-20 teams! 2A-6A Play under the Lights! 🏈💪
Want to thank all the schools who came out tonight for the 1st annual Saturday Night Lights 7s at O’Connor! Some great competition and a fun night of football! See you all next year!!

for his performance against Shadow Ridge. 14 tackles, 3tfl, fumble rec, and sack. Great job Brandon! Hard work pays off!

Solution. Players who transfer sit the second half of the season and playoffs. Wouldn’t stop it completely, but would definitely stop the ring chasers!
But in all honesty, I think AIA likes “destination schools”. National attention. 🤷♂️
@gridironarizona
Congrats to Pinnacle! They played well in a hard fought game. As for us, it’s a tough loss. But our seniors have laid down a good foundation. Mediocrity will not be excepted! The future is bright for O’Connor Football! 🏈💪
Shoutout to
@NickSundberg
and
@RedskinsCR
for donating these Nike Tees with our PC logo to our football team! Thank you for always supporting our Phoenix Christian FB players! 🏈🙏

@tdfbcoach1
IMO, this entire mess could have been avoided if the AIA would truly address the transfer issue. If players who transfer had to sit the second half of the season(no playoffs), there would be much less “recruiting” / transfers.
@azc_obert
@azcentral
Why can’t they play 6A schools?? They were moved up to 4A, by the AIA formula, because of how good they are, but they’re not good enough to play in the Open? That doesn’t make sense. 🤷♂️
Didn’t have a problem with Cactus or ALA QC when they were 4A.
@azc_obert
@azcentral
38 years of loyalty to one school. Over 900 wins. 8 State Championships. His team THIS YEAR will make the playoffs. And he’s shown the door? I don’t get it? Is Joe Germane taking over the basketball program too?!🤷♂️
@azc_obert
@azcentral
Seriously? WTH are these administrations thinking these days? You can’t find a better man than Kelley Moore! And a really good coach too! 1 losing season in 8 years. Playoffs almost every year. Winning record.
Let’s get rid of this guy now!!🙄

@STCSathletics
Some recent teams who may have something to say about that-
2019 - Round Valley
2018 - Thatcher
2017 - Thatcher
2015 - Joy Christian
Just to name a few
Never played a game in the AIA, but best 2A ever? 👍🏼
@jdubs1966
Never have charged for summer weights. But if some do, is it really wrong? Parents will pay for their kids “personal trainer, speed guru, position expert”, drop 1k a month, but football coaches can’t charge $100 for the entire summer? 🤔
@CoachReedLive
Reminder, he said “camps on campus”. These are camps put on by college programs which the coaching staffs are running!! Not the $$ grab camps that are out there every off season! 👍
Honest question. When Hamilton, now Chandler are dominant in the biggest division, what do they tell the other teams in that division? Keep working? Their time will pass? Get better?
Why are lower divisions treated differently?
@azc_obert
@gridironarizona
@RsmithYWV
Football was reclassified for “competitive balance”. Here’s some scores from girls basketball tonight. 100-12, 83-11, 83-13, 85-25, 68-8, 60-9, 77-22, 63-8, and more! It’s like this weekly! When does GBB get reclassified? 🤨
@azc_obert
3 things -
The players ejected were a result of running onto the field. If that doesn’t happen, probably no one is ejected.
Higley’s clock management. Masterful for 3 quarters, questionable in the 4th.
Holding call. DE didn’t lose because of it, but it kept them from the W!
@azc_obert
@azcentral
You really need a small division and a big division POY. There’s plenty of schools 1A-3A and 4A-6A that making a POY for both makes sense. 🤷♂️
@KevinMcCabe987
There is place for 7s. I think most coaches agree. But some of the stuff that goes on in the “club 7s” circles is ridiculous.
I have not seen anyone on here ripping on the players for playing. Only some of the ridiculous stuff that happens. 👍
@navibruzon
One of The Best players in the state regardless of position!
Had the “privilege” of watching him lead his team up and down the field against us twice last year! 😬😬 He’s a winner!🏈💪
@azc_obert
@azcentral
Do NOT count Saguaro out. They have played 2 very good teams. Their lines are good! And they have athletic kids in every position. Still easily one of the best teams in the state!🏈
@jacob_seliga
Thanks! We tried. Just too many to control. First Region Championship in 11 years for OC.
Think the student section was a little excited. But I love their enthusiasm and passion!🏈💪
