Broady, Mountain Lions tame Desert Oasis

Maliek Broady ran for 115 yards and Sierra Vista’s football team intercepted Desert Oasis quarterbacks five times Friday en route to a 34-14 home win.

Broady found the end zone from 1 yard out on the Mountain Lions’ first possession, and on the following Diamondback drive, Randall Grimes returned an interception 99 yards for a score. Broady added a 26-yard touchdown reception from Oscar Aliaga to give the Lions (2-0) an early 21-0 lead.

Quarterback Qwade Huff scored his second rushing touchdown to cut the lead to 28-14 with just under five minutes to play, but that would be as close as the Diamondbacks (0-2) would come as Grimes added an 82-yard interception return for a touchdown as time expired.

Colby Ceniza also had two interceptions for the Mountain Lions.
