When the 2012 season was first getting under way, Ironwood Ridge Coach Matt Johnson and the Nighthawk players were clear on their goals. The first was to get past the semifinals in the state playoffs, a round they failed to win for three straight seasons. The second goal was to win it all and become the Division II State Champions.

The Ironwood Ridge Nighthawks earned a spot in the Division II State Championships by doing what they do best, running the ball in the semifinal victory over Marcos de Niza.

In the 2012 regular season, one game prevented Marcos de Niza from reaching perfection. In week five Tucson's Ironwood Ridge came to Tempe and the Nighthawks went back to the Old Pueblo with a road win over the Padres.

Tears rolled down the faces of the Mountain View football players on Friday night, but the Mountain Lions have every reason to hold their heads high. Under the helm of first-year coach Clarence McRae, the team’s success this year has put the school’s football program back on the map.

First, the opening kickoff is returned 95 yards for a touchdown. Then, the defense yields a 70-yard scoring drive for another touchdown.

The Mountain View Mountain Lions’ season ended on Friday night at the hands of the Salpointe Lancers in the second round of the Division II state playoffs.

The stands were filled beyond capacity, players were pumped and only one team would have bragging rights of being Tucson’s best team heading into to the playoffs in Friday night’s season finale between top-ranked Ironwood Ridge, and second-place Salpointe.

Last year, an injury left Ironwood Ridge’s Anthony Braunreiter to watch about half the football season from the sidelines. 

Tucson Ironwood Ridge ran right up Marcos de Niza's gut and gave it a proverbial punch on its way by.

The Ironwood Ridge Nighthawks’ football team was already in a very good position heading into last Friday night’s match up against the Cholla Chargers. The team had won its first three contests by a combined 109 points, while Cholla had struggled to an 0-3 record and combined deficit of 77 points. The Nighthawks stepped it up a notch on Friday though, completely overpowering the Chargers en route to a 62-6 shellacking.

The Ironwood Ridge Nighthawks aren’t willing to settle for anything less than an appearance at the Division II state tournament this football season.
