The final snap has been taken. The final pass has been tossed. No more tackles. No more touchdowns. The final whistle has blown. High school football in Arizona has come to a close.

The following stats were pulled from MaxPreps.com and are in order of the most yards (along with other notable stats). All players are running backs unless listed otherwise.
