DIVISION III: SAHUARITA WINS SECOND CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Sahuarita picked up its second straight championship under Paul Vasquez. Vasquez needs one more state championship to break into the three-time club which features 30 coaches at the moment including his father Tim Berrier who won for coaching Ironwood Ridge. Together, the father-son combo have six state titles.

Brody Townsend, Sr. Mingus Union (2021, 2022, 2023) and Cooper French, Sr. Coconino (2021, 2022, 2023) picked up their third state championships.
