Desert Ridge Varsity Football Youth Night 🐾

Jr. Jaguars Take the Field Under the Friday Night Lights!

The energy was electric at Desert Ridge High School as the Jr. Jaguars 12U team joined the varsity squad for Youth Night — a celebration of community, football, and the next generation of Jaguars.

Before kickoff, the young athletes — Ryker T., Chase, Ryker L., Trent, Nate, Carson, Tony, Vincent, Maurice, Kayden, Hudson, Karter, Efren, and Wyatt — took the field alongside their varsity role models. Wearing their Jr. Jags gear with pride, the players were introduced to the crowd, high-fived the varsity team, and got a glimpse of what it means to be part of the Desert Ridge football family.

For many of these 12U athletes, it was their first experience under the big lights of Friday night football — an unforgettable moment that connected their dreams to the program they’re working toward. The stands were filled with cheers from parents, fans, and future teammates as the next generation of Jaguars stood tall with the high school team.

Events like Youth Night remind everyone that Desert Ridge Football is more than a program — it’s a community. The Jr. Jaguars left inspired, motivated, and ready to continue the tradition of excellence that defines Desert Ridge football.
