A journey of our 2024 Class. Words canโt explain how proud we are of our student-athletes.
With the help of our coaches, administrators, counselors, and teachers, weโve secured one of the best recruiting in the state.
We have FBS, FCS, D2, D3, NAIA, and Juco beingโฆ
RIP to Coach Leach the pirate. Let this be a lesson to coaches.
1. Your health is the most important thing you have.
2. Stop stressing yourself out over other peopleโs kids. Especially the ungrateful people who talk crazy about you every Friday night.
Going home is a blessing
I think AIA should evolve into bowl games for those who donโt make the playoffs. You can have companies or even local businesses sponsor the bowl games. Games will be played on neutral sites. Lots of good come out this: 1. Coaches and players get an extra game.
My heart is ๐. The world lost an amazing young man yesterday. I just seen you on Saturday. Gave you a hug and laughed about how tired we were from this track season. I remember giving you the Name L.A... Until we meet again little bro. It was an honor and a pleasure .

With all of that said, it shouldโve take away from the great game both teams played tonight. I hate the dark cloud that hangs Over our communities. This was an outside incident that was out of our control. DO NOT STEREOTYPE AN ENTIRE COMMUNITY BECAUSE SO SOME STUPID PERSON.

The ability to practice during Thanksgiving week has always been a privilege, meant your season went well. We should be even more thankful this year if youโre practicing, it means youโve handled adversity and the privilege of a season!

My 7v7 guys not going to like this, but these are the ๐ฅถ hard facts. I actually love 7v7 when itโs with HS HCโs. All the foolishness doesnโt happen when theyโre present. At least from what Iโve seen. Iโve seen kids Micโd up talking Brazy. Itโs a โdisrespectfulโ show.

Today is literally the best day if youโre a coach. To see young men get an opportunity to break generational curses of poverty, wealth, faith today is the reason why I coach. Congrats to all!

First and foremost I would like to thank God for keeping everyone safe tonight. I want to thank the law enforcement who were on high alert keeping everyone safe. Thank you to the staff and security at Fairfax for making sure everyone was safer as well.
Itโs a shame we have to drive 65 miles (2X a week) round trip to go get some 7โs run against schools. Thereโs plenty of school in the West Valley that can come together and put on throwing events like they do in the East Valley. Iโm ready to start a dialogueโฆ.
In light of the recent allegations on myself and the confusion around the Desert Edge Football And Track Programs, Marcus (

This debunks the old wise tale โif youโre good enough, theyโll find you.โ Thatโs lazy coachโs talk. Itโs not that easy anymore. It takes a TEAM. Coaches, parents, athletes to get the most out of the recruiting process. I said what I said.
I always thought that college coaches would eventually find you.
I realized that was a lie in my junior year of high school.
When I first started to send DMs to coaches.
I got a response from a Yale coach.
That's the moment I knew...
You have to get coaches to find you.
Some of yโall coaches too open with your players. This world/Az is small. Be careful who youโre running your mouth to. This is your warning.

Today is such a wonderful day. Iโm RT EVERYTHING TODAY. Today someone is breaking the curse of poverty. Someone is going to be โThe 1st in their family.โ I better not see one negative thing today! Congratulations to everyone!

Can we Normalize sharing quality film to opponents Again? Some of the film we have received this year has almost made me throw up. I understand gamesmanship, but come on. Itโs been low key disrespectful.
Both teams fought hard and competed even after adversity hit. Thatโs a sign of young men that are growing. That was a lesson to be learned and both teams grew from that moment. The only was you lose is if you donโt learn from it. Both teams grew up tonight. Thatโs more important

First time since 2020 Arizona will have three or more participants in the All-American Bowl.
Kelee Ringo (Saguaro), Bijan Robinson (Salpointe), Tosh Baker (Pinnacle) and Lathan Ransom (Salpointe) were all invited that year. All four have done pretty well for themselves.
Every coach that stops by I have a list of kids from other schools to tell them about. If we play against you & I like your game, Iโll keep your name in my back pocket. Trying to see every kid win
Not me. Sad part is, I donโt remember any of my coaches as I grew up. They never poured into me. I coach because God called me to serve. It gives me Joy to serve the young people I come in contact with everyday.
Can confirm Deshawn Warner (
@DeshawnWarner15

Powerful opening statement from co-Desert Edge head coach Marcus Carter.
Spoke about their time at South Mountain and highlighted some of the hardships theyโve gone through to get to this point.
