3A Round 1 Maricopa vs. Winslow

Nov 1st, 2007

The Maricopa Rams are taking I-40 east to Winslow on Friday to take on the Bulldogs of Winslow High.

This is the Rams inaugural season at the 3A level, so making it to playoffs is big accomplishment for Coach Brandt and his Rams.

The Rams are peaking at the right time and are riding a three game winning steak. In the past three weeks the Ram have taken down Santa Cruz, Florence, and Globe.

The Rams defensive unit has really turned up the intensity the past three games. The defense is anchored by senior linebacker Matt Fierros, who finished the season with 114 tackles. Brandt will look to look defensive end Tony Jones and nose tackle Derrick Gonzales to reek havoc in the Winslow backfield. Jones finished the season with 15 sacks and is capable of containing the outside running game.

Oct 29th, 2007

The Rams(6-4) of Maricopa High School earned a spot in the 2007 playoffs with a 40-22 victory over The Tigers of Globe High School Friday night. It was the first road win of the season.

The running tandem of Matt "mini bus" Fierros and Blake Schwanbeck tallied 202 yards rushing and four touchdowns for the Rams.

Half way through the first quarter Fierros scampered 18 yards for the TD. The PAT by Fierros was good, giving the Rams a 7-0 lead.

Fierros and Schwanbeck continued to chalk up positive yardage on the ground. The Rams went for it on fourth and five from the Tiger 5-yard line. Quarterback Will Clemans dropped back and found Schwanbeck in the end zone. The extra point attempt failed, but the Rams led 13 - 0 at the half.

On Globe’s next possession, Francom hit Wager down the left side for a completion deep in Rams territory. Wager was dragged down from behind by Rams cornerback Seymore. With four minutes remaining in the third quarter, Francom ran the keeper up the gut from 1-yard out for the TD. The extra point was successful and the Kitties I mean the Tigers trailed 27-16.

 Rams leg out Gophers 10-7 at home

Oct 20, 2007

Game photos click here

With 34 ticks remaining on the game clock do-it-all senior Matt "mini bus" Fierros converted on a 35-yard field goal, giving the Rams a 10-7 victory over the visiting Gophers of Florence High.

This was a must win for the Rams to stay in the 3A state playoff chase and for Clemans family bragging rights as cousins Will Clemans and Cash Clemans went head to head.

The Rams defense came ready to play and rose to the occasion early in the first quarter when junior defensive lineman Derrick Gonzales sacked Gopher QB Cash Clemans deep in Gopher territory forcing the Gophers to punt.

On the Gopher’s next possession, Rams DE and state sack leader Tony "the jet" Jones dropped Clemans  in the backfield forcing the Gophers to punt it away. The Rams defense was on fire and forced the Gophers to punt on its three first quarter possessions.

The Rams offensive cylinders starting firing up late in the first quarter when junior running back running back Blake "mad max" Schwanbeck ran for 16-yards and was brought down inside the Gopher 30-yard line. Rams QB Clemans completed an eight-yard pass to wide out Cody Seymore and Matt Fierros ran for eight yards up the middle to end the first quarter.

The Rams offense missed a golden opportunity to get on the board first when they went for it on fourth and goal just inside the one yard line. The Gopher defense stacked the box and blew up the Rams offensive line stopping Clemans on the QB keeper, giving the ball back to Gopher offense.

On second down and one Gopher QB Clemans broke free from three would be tacklers with some shifty moves and  ran up the right sideline for a 59-yard gain. Clemans was caught and brought down from behind by Rams safety  and cousin Will at the Rams 31-yard line.

Later in the drive Clemans hit wide out Andy Martinez for a 24-yard gain. Three plays later Clemans threw a strike Dalton Gay from seven yards out for the TD. The PAT was successful by Martinez, giving the Gophers a 7-0 lead at the half.

On the Rams first possession of the second half Schwanbeck ran up the gut for eight yards, Fierros went for 16-yards up the left side and Clemans ran for 18-yards on the keeper. The Gophers were flagged for a late hit on Clemans out of bounds putting the Rams on the Gopher 29-yard line. Schwanbeck picked up eight more yards landing inside the Gopher ten yard line. On the next play Clemans was tossed like salad and brought down in the back field.

On fourth and four from the Gopher nine yard line, the Rams ran the statue of liberty made famous by Boise State's Ian Johnson. Clemans raised his right arm and hid the ball behind his back with his left hand. Running back Fierros grabbed from Clemans left hand went untouched up the left side for the 9-yard TD. The PAT was by Fierros was successful, tying the game at 7-7.

With Gophers driving for the go-ahead touchdown Rams sophomore safety Kendell Morris got a jump on a Clemans pass and picked it off deep in Rams territory, giving the Rams offense the ball on their own 25 yard line. Two plays later Rams QB Clemans returned the favor and was picked off, giving the ball back to the Gophers.

With time winding down things didn't look good for the Rams, but on the Gopher’s first offensive play, Rams junior cornerback Vince Davis forced a fumbled spun around and recovered the ball.

With time winding down and the score knotted 7-7, the Rams offense put the ball in the hands of running tandem Fierros and Schwanbeck. Fierros picked up 25 yards and, on the next play, Schwanbeck broke some ankles and went for 29 yards.

With 34 ticks remaining on the game clock do-it-all Matt "mini bus" Fierros was as cool as the other side of the pillow, as he converted on a 35-yard field goal, giving the Rams a 10-7 victory over the visiting Gophers of Florence High.

Clemans vs. Clemans Friday 7p.m

Oct 17, 2007

This Friday's homecoming game will be the battle of Will and Cash Clemans.

Rams quarterback Will "LD" Clemans is coming off his best game of the season going 12 of 15 for 180 yards. Clemans threw two TD's and ran for another in a victory over Santa Cruz.

Clemans will look to wide out Cody Seymore to help spread the field. Seymore had a big game last week and I expect a repeat performance. In the middle Clemans will look to tight end Devon Snell. The kid caught six balls against Safford two weeks ago, so look for him to get back on track.

Florence (3-5) quarterback Cash Clemans is also coming off his finest performance of the season in which he completed 12 of 20 for 246 yards. Cash hit Andy Martinez for three scores through the air.

Maricopa (4-4) needs this win to stay in the playoff chase. Clemans and the rest of the offense will have to run a balanced and mistake free offensive attack.

With linebacker Matt "mini bus" Fierros getting less carries offensively he should have a big night defensively. The kid can flat out hit and shutdown a running attack.

 Look for defensive end Tony "the jet" Jones to have big night. He should reak havoc in the Florence backfield and come up with a sack or two. If Florence kick offs to him be prepared to see him break one loose.

Linebacker Blake Schwanbeck will help contain the middle of the field. The kid is a competitor and plays with a lot of emotion. Super soph cornerback Vince Bailey has been a clutch performer all season. The kid is just discovering what he is capable of doing from the corner position.

Defensive tackle Chris Wilson needs to play with reckless abandonment and help break into the Florence backfield.

It's the last home game for seniors Wilson, Fierros, Clemans, Seymore, and Jones, so I want give Rams fans a good show.

The Rams have the opportunity to go 5-1 at home this season.

Come out and support them this Friday!

Good Luck Rams!

Tony "the jet" Jones is Arizona's No. 1

       sacker.

Sept 18th, 2007

According to Maxpreps.com Tony "the jet" Jones is 5th in the nation and No. 1 in Arizona in quarterback sacks. He is averaging 2.3 per game. Jones who plays defensive end is very quick on the edge and is starting to get noticed in the 3A ranks. The jet has taken on the role of kick returner this season. He had 88 yard return against Bourgade and was arm tackle away from taking two other attempts the distance earlier in the season. The Bears of Coolidge refused to kick off to Jones and were flagged for kicking off out bound on numerous occasions last week. Jones has big play potential and needs to play a role in the offensive game plan. He has found his niche on defense and special teams, so I'm sure on the offensive side of the ball he would be a big contributor.
