High school football: Marana HS receiver Dezmen Roebuck closes in on state receptions recordAfter setting the state record for receptions (121) in a single season in 2023, Marana High and University of Washington-bound receiver Dezmen Roebuck is now closing in on another record: this one for catches in an Arizona prep career.
From Greg Hansen's Notebook:Â Marana High School football (5-0) looks the part. But if the Tigers end up in the AIA's "open" playoffs, erasing an ongoing state championship drought will be daunting.
Marana was named the top team in the first Open Division rankings after starting the season 6-0. The Tigers are the only Southern Arizona team on track to make the Open Division. Plus, Marana High School is honoring its 1964 state championship team.Â
