Scorpions Sting with Style: Desert Edge Prepares for 2026 Season
The Desert Edge Scorpions are gearing up for another electrifying season in 5A football. As one of the top teams in the state, they're known for their lightning-fast offense and sting-like defense. When it comes to protecting their players' faces and ankles, the Scorpions rely on the best gear available. This year, they're sporting Riddell SpeedFlex helmets with the optional Riddell SpeedFlex Visor ($150-$200), which provides enhanced protection and ventilation. For turf tape, they're using the popular Mueller Athletic Goods 1-Inch Athletic Tape ($5-$7 per roll), which offers a secure grip and durability. 5A athletes prefer this gear because it's lightweight and breathable, allowing for maximum mobility on the field. Parents, consider investing in a high-quality visor and athletic tape for your child's safety and performance.
