Five of those players are seniors. Desert Ridge (2-5) lost at home to Mesa Red Mountain 49-7 on Oct. 9. The Jaguars are scheduled to host Corona del Sol in a 6A matchup on Thursday, Oct. 15. Marie Brewer said that her son, quarterback Gunner Brewer, was removed from the team by coach Miles Smith on Oct. 5 for changing a play on his own during the team's 14-12 win at Vail Cienega on Oct. 2.
