SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — For the second straight week, Saguaro High School’s varsity football team won’t take the field against a rival — a highly unusual situation for one of Arizona’s most decorated and historic high school football powerhouses.
Scottsdale Unified School District officials said this week’s matchup against Saguaro High School and American Leadership Academy-Queen Creek is canceled. The Sabercats were set to travel to Queen Creek to face the Patriots on Thursday evening.
District officials said Saguaro’s varsity team is still dealing with a “significant number of injuries.”
“As a result, there are not enough healthy and available student-athletes to safely field a team for this week’s competition,” a portion of the district’s statement said.
Athletic Director David Abrams announced the cancellation in a letter sent to the Saguaro community Tuesday morning. District staff canceled the game after consulting with athletic training staff and school administration, citing an increased risk of injury and concerns for student safety.
“We understand this news is disappointing for our student-athletes, coaches, families, students, and supporters. Our athletes and coaches dedicate a tremendous amount of time and effort to preparing for each competition, and canceling a game is never a decision that is made lightly,” the statement read.
Saguaro has only played one game so far this season, with a blowout 62-0 loss to Desert Mountain on Aug. 28. The Sabercats’ historic rivalry game against Chaparral was canceled the following week. That game has traditionally been one of the biggest matchups on the Arizona high school sports calendar.
The Sabercats’ varsity roster lists just 25 players. According to school officials, a significant portion of those players suffered injuries during the loss to Desert Mountain.
The low turnout and high injury rates represent a steep decline for a program accustomed to sustained championship success. Saguaro has undergone significant leadership turnover in the past calendar year, replacing its principal, athletic director and head football coach.
Saguaro Head Coach Butch Goncharoff was unavailable for comment on Tuesday. However, former head coach Darius Kelly, who coached the team in 2025 and now coaches in Oklahoma, shared his perspective on the program’s steep decline.
“Looking from the outside in, we should have won some games,” Kelly said. “We shouldn’t have even been in those games because of the numbers we have and the battles we were fighting internally—administration, district and even the AIA (Arizona Interscholastic Association) in processes there.”
Kelly estimated that the Saguaro program has lost roughly 30 players to transfers over the past two years. He acknowledged that pressure on leadership was heavy.
“There’s some things I could’ve done better, from a direct course of winning and losing a lot of the issues came from internal, not necessarily what happened on the football field on Friday night,” Kelly explained.
The district stressed that despite the back-to-back cancelations, it does not mean the entire season is canceled. Instead, student-athletes will continue recovering in order to finish the season “strong, healthy, and ready to compete,” officials said.
Earlier this month, Saguaro said it could not field a freshman or junior varsity team this year because it only had 35 players in total.
The Sabercats are set to host Mountain Ridge on Sept. 18.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Laguna Prep parents say the data used to justify possibly closing their school is wrong.
They are asking school district officials to take a second look.
Laguna is the only school slated for closure in all three options currently before the Scottsdale School Board. The other schools facing closure are Copper Ridge, Desert Canyon and Redfield.

Laguna parents say the district undercounted the school's capacity by more than 200 students when deciding which schools to recommend closing.
Kate Russo, Laguna's PTO president, was one of several parents who told the school board Tuesday the district's capacity math was flawed.
"I'm here because I believe there's a serious problem with the process," Russo said.
The district first put Laguna's capacity at 638, based on educational programs at the school. The school's actual physical capacity is 891.
"That matters when you're making a decision that affects thousands of kids," Russo said.
Parents are asking the board to consider another option.
“I'm asking you guys to reconsider Laguna," parent Christen Picolla said.
District officials are defending their math. Assistant Superintendent Lea Mitchell said the decision came down to several factors.
"No single one thing drove a single decision," Mitchell said.
Scottsdale Superintendent Scott Menzel says he's willing to review another option for the board — one that would spare Laguna but close Redfield instead.
"We could likely run a scenario with the information we have to provide some information there," Menzel said.
The school district is facing declining student enrollment. Menzel said that since 2016-17, schools in north Scottsdale have declined 23% in enrollment, or 1,668 fewer students. He said during that time, no schools in the north have closed.
“Twenty-five years ago the schools in the Desert Mountain Community were full. But they are not now,” he said.
The board is holding a public hearing on the school closures on Sept. 22. The board could make a final decision as early as Oct. 6. Any schools chosen for closure would close at the end of the school year.

What we know:
The district has already decided to close Pima Elementary and Echo Canyon K-8. Now several other schools are being considered to be either closed or combined. The district says that could impact up to about 2,200 students.
Several different proposals are currently on the table. The schools that could potentially face changes under the district's review include:
Since 2010, the superintendent says enrollment has gone down by more than 6,000 students. That is because of declining birth rates and Empowerment Scholarship accounts.
There are three options the district is considering involving closing, merging, or moving several schools. The district is also considering six models for boundary changes for each of the three options. Community members from the schools expressed some concerns about the possible changes.
What they're saying:
"I do not believe the three models before you and the associated boundaries are options that represent the full range of viable solutions. Key decisions were made before all relevant information was available or fully vetted," said Nicole Young, a Laguna Prep parent.
"I am hoping you will recognize that the process used to create the models was flawed and, therefore, we cannot assume that the options before you are the best options," community member Ellen Douglas said.
The district put together a committee of community stakeholders from all the schools. The district says they preferred an option to close Copper Ridge K-8 and Laguna Prep and redistribute their boundaries. There would also be a possible merger of Desert Canyon Elementary with Desert Canyon Middle School. Only around 900 students would be impacted.
What's next:
On Sept. 22, the governing board is going to have a public hearing for the community to weigh in on this issue. They will also be considering the issue next month.

Free self-scoring checklist, state rights guides, and plain-language answers on payment shock and installer closures amid federal solar-loan fee scrutiny.
Scottsdale, AZ · United States (PRUnderground) September 11, 2026
AmeriVanta, a nationwide consumer advocacy and intake organization headquartered at 15169 N. Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, Arizona 85254, today announced the launch of a free, plain-language addressing the questions homeowners most often have about their residential solar financing agreements. The library includes a self-scoring checklist for recognizing high-pressure sales tactics, plain-language explanations of why solar loan payments sometimes increase, general guidance for homeowners whose installer or lender has gone out of business, and state-specific guides to consumer rights around solar contracts, with , , , and live today and more states rolling out. Every resource is free to use and does not require homeowners to submit their information to access it.
Why AmeriVanta Built It
The library responds to a documented pattern of confusion in how residential solar is sold and financed. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has reported that — described to consumers under labels such as “program fees,” “lending fees,” or “dealer fees” — typically range from 10 to 30 percent of a project's cash price and can exceed 50 percent, sometimes adding thousands of dollars to a loan's principal without a clear, itemized disclosure to the homeowner.
The CFPB has also detailed how many solar loans are structured to re-amortize to a higher monthly payment — commonly around month 19 — unless the homeowner prepays roughly 30 percent of the loan principal, an amount tied to a federal solar tax credit that is not guaranteed and depends on each household's individual tax liability. Homeowners who don't make that prepayment, often because they were never made to clearly understand the requirement, can see their monthly payment increase by $65 or more with little warning — an experience widely referred to as “payment shock.” Separately, research from Harvard Business School's Institute for Business in Global Society estimates that roughly 100 U.S. solar companies have filed for bankruptcy protection since 2023, leaving homeowners across the country with active loans, unresolved warranty questions, and no clear point of contact.
“Most of what we hear from homeowners isn't that solar itself was a bad decision — it's that they didn't fully understand what they signed, and by the time their payment changed or their installer disappeared, they didn't know where to turn,” the company said in a statement. “This library exists so someone can check what's actually in their agreement, in plain language, before they decide anything.”
What's in the Library
• Sales-tactic self-scoring checklist — a short, homeowner-facing checklist for recognizing common high-pressure or misleading sales patterns, built to be scored in a few minutes without submitting any personal information.
• Payment-increase guide — a plain-language breakdown of how and why solar loan payments can increase after the first year or two, including the prepayment structure the CFPB has flagged, so homeowners can check their own agreement against it.
• Installer- and lender-closure guidance — general, plain-language information for homeowners whose solar installer or financing company has ceased operating, covering what typically happens to a loan, warranty, and equipment obligations when the original company is no longer reachable.
• State-by-state rights guides — guides addressing consumer protection and cancellation-related law specific to each state, starting with , , , and .
• “Should I stop paying?” guide — a direct answer to one of the most common questions AmeriVanta receives, making clear that any decision about withholding payment on a loan or contract should only be made under the advice of a qualified attorney — never based on general information alone.
How AmeriVanta's Services Work
Alongside the free library, AmeriVanta offers a : a homeowner shares their solar agreement and related documents, AmeriVanta helps them understand what those documents say in plain language, and where a legal issue may be present, AmeriVanta connects the homeowner with an independent attorney licensed in their state for a legal review. AmeriVanta is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice or legal representation, and does not guarantee any outcome. Any attorney-client relationship is formed solely between the homeowner and the referred attorney, not with AmeriVanta.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is AmeriVanta a law firm?
No. AmeriVanta is a consumer advocacy and intake organization. It does not provide legal advice or legal representation. Where a homeowner's situation may warrant legal review, AmeriVanta connects them with an independent attorney licensed in their state.
Does AmeriVanta charge homeowners for a contract review?
No. AmeriVanta's intake review and resource library are free, with no obligation to continue.
What causes “payment shock” on a solar loan?
According to the CFPB, many solar loans are structured to re-amortize to a higher monthly payment, often around month 19, unless the homeowner prepays approximately 30 percent of the loan principal — an amount tied to a federal tax credit that isn't guaranteed. Homeowners who don't make that prepayment can see their payment increase with little warning.
Should I stop paying my solar loan?
That decision should only be made under the advice of a qualified attorney. AmeriVanta does not advise homeowners to stop making payments on any loan or contractual obligation, and general information should never be treated as a substitute for individual legal advice.
What should I do if my solar installer or lender went out of business?
A loan or lien generally survives even if the original company does not. AmeriVanta's resource library outlines, in general terms, what homeowners commonly need to check — who now services the loan, what the warranty situation is, and whether any lien on the equipment affects the home — and can connect homeowners with an independent attorney for a review specific to their situation.
