A season-ending ACL injury to quarterback Nainoa Shin adds to a series of tough breaks for a young Matadors team.

Ron and Ronnie Fagan — head coach and star junior running back at Shadow Mountain — have found their relationship bolstered as they continue to impact the Matadors' football program.

A few key mistakes and penalties left the Matadors frustrated following a difficult defeat at Paradise Valley.

Led by a pair of juniors — one of which moved from receiver to quarterback this offseason — Shadow Mountain earned its first win of the year, 25-13 over North Canyon.
