Sunnyside's game plan against Marana was simple: chew up the clock by running the football and keeping the Tigers' high-scoring offense on the sideline as much as possible.Despite the game only having 11 total possessions between the two teams, including four in the first half, Marana countered Sunnyside's agenda with three takeaways — and quarterback Elijah Joplin's two rushing touchdowns — in a 21-6 win over Sunnyside on Friday night for homecoming, with ex-Tiger and starting Arizona Wildcats left tackle Jordan Morgan watching on the MHS sideline.
