Show Low’s standout sophomore wide receiver Josh Weeks has been honored by the Arizona Republic by being named to their All-Arizona team, an unusual accomplishment for an underclassman.

Weeks earned a place on the team by finishing second in the entire state (1A through 5A) in receiving with 1201 yards on 47 catches.  Only Jesse Brantley of Gilbert had more yardage (1222).  Weeks’ 15 touchdown catches tied him for fourth best.  Mogollon’s JT Slade led Arizona with 18 TD catches.

At 6’4” and 190 pounds, there seems to be nothing but up-side for the Cougar, who is getting plenty of attention from NCAA Division 1 programs.

The Show Low receiver was the only sophomore to make the team, joining four juniors on the offense.  Including defense and specialists, there were a total of only seven non-seniors named to the team by the Arizona Republic.

Also making the team was Jordan Morgan, the son of former Show Low head coach Bill Morgan.  Jordan plays quarterback and defensive back for the Valley Christian Trojans who won the 2A championship in 2009.  Morgan made the All-Arizona team as punter after averaging an NFL-like 45 yards per punt.  He needed to punt only 16 times all season, thanks to his team’s high powered offense.  He also passed for 1516 yards and rushed for another 1450.
