Chubba Purdy is showing again and again he is the real deal.
On Friday night, he led Perry (Gilbert, Arizona) to a 68-67 four-overtime win over Red Mountain (Mesa, Arizona) in which Purdy scored all 10 touchdowns for the Cougars.
Purdy finished with 299 passing yards and five touchdowns through the air and 110 rushing yards with five touchdowns on the ground, according to Richard Obert of the Arizona Republic. Purdy also completed a two-point conversion.
The last time an Arizona high school football player had 10 touchdowns was current Arizona Cardinals running back DJ Foster in 2011, according to Obert.
Red Mountain scored the final 10 points in the fourth quarter to force an overtime. That’s when Purdy went into hyperdrive.
Three of his rushing touchdowns came in the first three overtime periods, according to Brittany Bowyer of the East Valley Tribune.
