Desert Mountain beat Chaparral, 30-26, on Friday night despite allowing three fourth quarter touchdowns.
Late Friday night, long after Desert Mountain thought it had an easy rivalry win secured, Chaparral offered one final rebuttal. The Firebirds quarterback, Miles Vandenheuvel, rolled out right, set his feet just inside the 50-yard line and uncorked a prayer. With it carried the hopes of the most improbable comeback of the season in Arizona high school football.
When Desert Mountain went up, 30-7, on the final play of the third quarter, there might not have been a soul inside Chaparral’s stadium that earnestly believed a comeback was possible. Not only were the Firebirds down 23, but they had struggled to move the ball all night. The fourth quarter drive log began like this: Chaparral touchdown, Desert Mountain punt, Chaparral touchdown , Desert Mountain turnover on downs.
With this game out of the way, the Wolves toughest test remaining is a 5A showdown with Notre Dame Prep on Oct. 7.Last year, Desert Mountain had to rely solely on Drew Tapley under center after Brady McDonough went down with injury early in the season. A year later, that injury carries a silver lining: The Wolves now have two quarterbacks they can trust in key situations.
