Passion fuels Phoenix Rising FC moves ahead of 2025 season

JP Scearce attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, where the alumni played soccer as an upperclassman and was selected twice all – city. After high school Scearses’ collegiate career started at Yavapai College in Prescott, Arizona, where Scearce finished second in school history with 10 goals and 31 assists during the freshman and sophomore years. When JP Scearce signed with the Rising in the 2023 USL Championships, the Arizona native returned home and has seemed to enjoy the homecoming ever since, taking a big step today.

Posted on the football club’s X account, the Phoenix Rising FC midfielder made Arizona a start of a new chapter, Scearce popped the question in front of the Eiffel Tower and is now engaged. At night with the lights twinkling off the water, a spectacular proposal location and unforgettable moment for the couple. A big step for Scearce with sweet news, but not to overshadow one midfielder’s helpful health tips.

Jearl Margaritha talked health but not just physical but mental too. The 24-year-old yogi did a mindful minute with Equity Health to talk about falling asleep after yoga sessions to just lay and take in the energy and the importance of eating well. Margaritha talked about one priority most, friends and family and how sharing feelings and getting them out is good, also about quality time, even if it is some alone time needed to process thoughts. Holistic self-care for Margaritha is definitely the mix that encourages people to get a New Year’s resolution in order, to think about the entire body, not just the physical side.

While, both teammates seem to be taking a big gulp of life and lighting a positive path at the same time, whether teammates enjoy sharing big news with the family or find comfort in exchanging ways for self-care, the Phoenix Rising seem to know how to have a great time and enjoy living in the moment.

Hopefully this is enough joy for fans to hold onto during the chilly season, but until then, Todos Rojos will have to wait for the Phoenix Rising FC to return and bring the heat.
