ADOT addresses Renaissance Festival traffic The State Transportation board met last week for a work session. On that agenda included an update regarding the special event transportation plan for the Arizona Renaissance festival. Local residents of Gold Canyon, eastern Pinal County and Southern Gila County, had expressed concern to Steve Stratton who represents Pinal, Gila and Graham counties on the State Transportation Board that something needed to changed. The success of the festival has at times created up to 11-mile back ups in the area. “This traffic affects our communities and our events that occur during the festival season,” explained Mayor Al Gameros of Globe. He along with Superior, Mayor Mila Besich-Lira, attended the meeting to share their concerns on behalf of the communities east of the festival. Randy Everett, District Administrator for

ADOT shared the plan for the improved traffic flow. The proposed changes include dual right turn lanes in movements from Eastbound US 60 into the event grounds. Increasing the radius of Gate A to facilitate the entrance into the festival grounds and additional message boards will be added. Those attending the event from the east will enter the fair grounds through gate B, which will eliminate those coming from the east from having to merge with those coming from the west. The next steps for the changes will be for the Renaissance to complete the permit application and for all parties to go over the changes. The Renaissance will need to construct the proposed changes and evaluation of the effectiveness of the improvements in April or May of 2018. The Renaissance Festival begins on Feb. 10 and runs through April 1, 2018.

Third Trip to State Semis is Super(ior) By Andrew Luberda Copper Area News The Superior football team reached the 1A State Championship Semifinal game for the third-consecutive year and the third time was indeed the charm, as the No. 3 Panthers defeated the defending state champion and No. 2 Bagdad, 44 – 34. The Panthers’ defense and former lineman, turned quarterback Steven Ybarra refused to let their team experience disappointment for a third-straight time at Maricopa High School last Saturday. Superior recorded 10 sacks against Bagdad’s Israel Loveall, the national all-time leader for touchdown passes in 8-man football, and allowed only a lone touchdown in the second half after the Panthers held a 30 – 26 lead at halftime. “We made a few small adjustments at halftime,” Superior head coach Ryan Palmer said after the game. “Really, it was just the kids deciding that we can do this. They went out there and made the plays happen. All the credit goes to our players, who showed a lot of heart and discipline.” Ybarra, who ran for two touchdowns and passed for four more, totaled 475 yards of offense – 257 passing and 218 rushing – in the win. He also led the Panthers on defense with a team-high 15 tackles. “Steven’s got a heck of a lot of heart,” Palmer said. “He has to be the conference Player of the Year because he doesn’t just lead on offense, he’s our leader on defense.” The Panthers’ Region Player of the Year wasn’t surprised by the result. “All week in practice we knew if we didn’t turn the ball over and we limited our penalties, we could win the game,” Ybarra said. Ybarra, a junior, played nearly the entire game, missing only a few plays in the second half due to cramping. He returned to the field on offense after being carted off while the Panthers were on defense. Continued on page 12

Thank you, Superiorites. On behalf of my brother Rudy and my wife Jessie, I wish to thank everyone for the attention and friendship they gave to our sister, Rosie Casillas Young, during her illness. We grew up in Superior, and although we have moved away, it is apparent we still have many friends in the area. I visited Rosie frequently during her illness, took her to her doctor appointments, and brought her to San Antonio to spend summers and the holidays with us. She would tell me of all the friends she had, and the many ways they helped her. I wish I could thank all of you personally, but I am afraid I might miss someone. You know who you are. I do wish to thank, however, her neighbor, Cecilia Lopez, whom I could always count on whenever I could not reach Rosie. Also, Rosie Martinez, her dear friend, who was always there for her, up to the end. And, a special thanks to our cousin, Bobby Y. Casillas, and his wife Carmen, who were constantly looking after her during her illness. I also wish to thank all of you who attended her memorial mass. I could not attend, due to the death of our son that same week, but Rudy attended, and he told me of the generous support in her memory. Also thanks to the Casillas and Lugo families from out of town, who attended. I will always be grateful. Charles Casillas San Antonio, TX

PANTHERS FOOTBALL Continued from page 4

“I just give it all I have on every play,” Ybarra said. “I keep pushing forward and play with my mom in my heart. She carries me throughout the whole game.” Considering the Sultans garnered more than 50 points a week ago against Ray, it appeared surprising that the highscoring Panthers could manage only one touchdown in the opening quarter, which ended with the teams tied, 6 – 6. “I knew that was exactly what was going to happen,” said Palmer, who wasn’t surprised by the low-scoring quarter. “If you look at history, when it comes to semifinals and championships, Bagdad coaches do a (great) job of preparing their kids. We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy chore to put the ball in the endzone.” The Panthers’ first-quarter scoring output proved to be an aberration. Superior opened the second quarter with a 67-yard touchdown pass from Ybarra to Jared Moreno, the first of three scoring plays between the junior teammates. After being tied, 14 – 14, the teams traded scores in rapid fashion during the final five minutes of the half. Ybarra threw his second touchdown pass to Moreno before Bagdad’s Loveall scored on a 50-yard run, which was followed by

a 19-yard touchdown pass from Ybarra to freshman Adam Navarrette. Bagdad ended the first-half scoring with a 49-yard touchdown pass. The Panthers increased their lead in the third quarter on a 14-yard touchdown pass from Ybarra to Moreno. “Jared Moreno stepped up huge,” Palmer said. “We rode him the whole way.” The Sultans’ defense had difficulty containing Moreno all game long, as evidenced by his 170 receiving yards on nine receptions. “Once I started running past them,” answered Moreno, when asked at what point of the game did he know Bagdad defenders couldn’t stay with him. “When that ball goes up, it’s mine.” The Sultans’ offense, which scored 90plus points a week ago, was stymied in the second half. The Panthers’ defense, led by Cedric Mendoza, Matthew Diaz-Gonzales and Daniel Mcconnell, who combined for nine sacks, allowed only a four-yard run by Loveall in the second half with just more than six minutes remaining. Ybarra’s second rushing touchdown of the game clinched the Panthers’ victory and a berth in Friday’s 1A State Championship

You Are Not Alone.

Game. “We’re just going to try to put our kids in the best spot to be successful,” said Palmer, looking ahead to Friday’s game versus No. 4 Williams. “These kids have already shown so much heart. I just hope they’re ready to give it (heck) next week.” The Panthers’ players are hoping to kill two birds with one stone, starting with

avenging a loss to the Vikings in last year’s semifinals. The other? “Hopefully it’s our second state championship in 2017,” Ybarra said in reference to Superior winning the baseball state title in May. Friday’s kickoff at Maricopa High School is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Steven Ybarra (30) is sandwiched between a teammate and a Sultans’ defender. Kelli Luberda | Sun
