F4 The Arizona Republic Saturday, November 18, 1989 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Dickson helps carry Mary vale to victory if i I A 'K i Vgf 1 Hall decided to go for it. Dickson got the call, and the 6-foot-3, 235-poundcr -bulled through the line for 6 yards. Dickson, who earlier had scored on runs of 55 and 61 yards, carried on six of Maryvale's next seven plays. One of them came with 1:34 remaining, and Maryvale facing a fourth-and-2 situation at ils 47. No problem.

Dickson ran through the line, dragging defenders for a 4-yard pickup, and scaling the victory in the process. "Hey, we're all in this together," Dickson said. "It wasn't just me tonight. You've got lo credit our linemen, 'cause 1 wouldn't have been able to do anything without them." Three first-half turnovers hurt Amphi, which gol another stcller performance from running back Mario Bates. He carried 19 times for 136 yards and scored Amphi's only other touchdown.

His 4-yard run in the second quarter cut the lead to 14-7. "We blew a couple of opportunities, and then the big lank (Dickson) took over," said Amphi Coach Vein Fricdli. "What else can you say about that kid?" Maryvale safety Jason Kindred recovered a fumble, made an interception and deflected four passes. Mickey Murry, who scored on a 72-yard run in the second quarter to put Maryvale up, 7-0, ran 10 times for 92 yards. Chargers get 5 TDs by Drew McClintock routs Glendale Apollo By Richard Obert The Arizona Republic Fans still were filing in Friday, and Apollo Coach Rudy Pa-clieco didn't even have his headset on before finding his learn in a hole it could never escape.

Tcmpc McClintock star Brian Drew, as he has done all season, seemingly took the life out of Apollo on the opening kickoff, returning it 91 yards for a score. He scored four more times in the half as the Chargers rolled into the Class 5A stale quarterfinals with a 65-7 rout at McClintock. Drew has scored 31 touchdowns, surpassing the single-season school record of 29, set by Anthony Parker in 1983, and moving him within six of the state record of 37, -set by Art Malonc in 1965. The way McClintock (10-2) appeared Friday, Drew might have a few more games to break it. Pachcco won't argue.

"We never recovered from the first play, and (hey just kicked our butts, that's all," Pachcco said. "Drew has got great, quick feet. He's got it all. 'They're a great football team." McClintock next meets its longtime nemesis, Mesa Mountain View (7-4), a 35-28 winner over Horizon (9-3). "Oh, we can't wait.

We're being blessed lo be able to play Mountain View twice in the same season," said Chargers Coach Karl Kicfcr. "That's got to be 1 lie all-time great thing to happen to us." Drew did not touch the ball in the second half after staking the Chargers lo a 37-7 lead on touchdown runs of 3, 18 and 1 yard and catching a 39-yard touchdown pass from Dan Chad SurmickThe Arizona Republic Tempe McClintock defender Adam Fletcher (75) works to strip the ball from Glendale Apollo's Andrew Perkins while Chargers defenders Ed Burnside and Jason Kyle work to bring Perkins down. McClintock won, 65-7, on Friday. "It was a letdown, but I think it got us more pumped," Drew said. "If we had won that game, wc might have come in not playing as hard." Moore, who took some criticism since suffering a bruised shoulder against Tempe Corona del Sol three weeks ago, was back lo his old self.

His second pass went 34 yards lo Mike Norcus lo set up Drew's third touchdown, which came seven minutes into the game. Moore completed By Bob McManaman The Arizona Republic Top-ranked Maryvale found itself in an unusual situation Friday night on the verge of possible defeat at the hands of another team called the Panthers, unranked Tucson Amphitheater. Then the usual occurred. Senior fullback Marcus Dickson delivered for Maryvale. Dickson, who rushed for a game-high 219 yards, carried nine times for 42 yards during Maryvale's final possession twice gaining first downs on fourth-and-short situations helping Maryvale escape with a 21-14 victory in a first-round game of the Class 5A state playoffs at Maryvale.

Maryvale (10-1) moves into the quarterfinals, where il will meet fourth-ranked and defending slate champ Mesa Westwood (9-2), which rolled to a 41-7 victory over Yuma in its playoff opener. Maryvale, a team that has thrashed most opponents on a regular basis this season, led by only a touchdown with less than six minutes to play. A fumble on its previous possession had enabled Amphitheater (4-7) to close the gap. Quarterback Mark Hewson scrambled in from 4 yards out to pull Amphi within 21-14. Maryvale started at ils 20.

On fourth and 1, Maryvale Coach Buck Fancy pants Corona past By Mike McFarland The Arizona Republic Tcmpc Corona del Sol Coach Gary Vcnturo says there is something magical about the bright orange pants his team wears at home games. St. Mary's must now believe him. Behind running back David Harris' 182 rushing yards and superior play from both the offensive and defensive lines, Corona cruised past St. Mary's in the Aztecs' first playoff game eight years, 38-14, at Corona.

"The key lo tonight's game was orange," Vcnturo said. "Orange is our color. When wc put on our orange pants, and that's it, it's over. This team jusl believes in orange, I can'l explain it." Perhaps a better test for Corona's magic orange pants will be next Friday when the Aztecs (10-1) will play undefeated Paradise Valley, a 21-19 winner over Marcos Dc Niza. Venture's talk about the orange pants didn't escape his team.

"When 1 pul on those pants, the energy inside me, it made me feel great," said defensive end Manny Carbajal. "1 think our team is invincible. It's like St. Mary's. Every time they go to the state championship, Ihey have their yellows (pants) on.

It's like thai for us this year." 1 rap 1 business, whips Greenway No. 2 Tempe By Gary Horowitz The Arizona Republic After losing its final regular-season game lo Scotlsdalc Coronado, second-ranked Tempe High was anxious lo make amends in the Class 4A stale football tournament. And the Buffaloes (10-1), who played as if they weren't looking ahead to next Friday's quarterfinal showdown against top-ranked Coronado, took care of business al hand by posting a 37-22 victory" over seventh-janked Greenway (7-3-1) on Friday night at home. "No, 1 don't lii we were looking ahead," said Tcmpc Coach Jim Murphy. "Wc played extremely hard tonight against a good football team.

They were pretty banged up and you have to give them a lot of credit." Mesa Dobson upends Moon Valley, ending Putman's career on sidelines help push St. Mary's Corona outgained the Knights, 470 yards lo 157. Only two early turnovers deep in Corona territory kept the outcome in doubt for the first half. After Corona's Jackie Mori was intercepted on his first pass, St. Mary's took a 7-0 lead when Mike Espinoza found Gabc Pantonia on a 1 5-yard pass.

After knotting the score in the first quarter, Corona took the lead for good in the second, gelling an 8-yard touchdown run from Harris iTtid a 2-yard touchdown run by Matt Foote. St. Mary's struck back, taking advantage of a second Corona turnover. A 12-yard halfback-option pass from Bob Dalton (o quarterback Mike Espinoza trimmed the Corona lead lo 21-14 late in the second quarter. Corona got the ball back with 59 seconds left in Ihc half and moved into scoring position.

Andy Wilt kicked a 38-yard field goal with 12 seconds left to push (he lead to 24-14. In the third quarter, Corona didn't give up the turnovers that helped St. Mary's stay close, and drove for nearly five minutes before Harris scored his second touchdown on a 1-yard plunge that gave Corona a 31-14 lead. Tempe McClintock's Robbie Wheaton breaks a tackle while teammate Grady Stretz looks on during a 65-7 victory over Glendale Apollo. Wheaton scored three touchdowns on Friday night.
