Mogollon held off Yuma Catholic 180-178 with sophomore Kaleb Porter winning in the 150-pound division for the final margin. Yuma Catholic has taken the runner-up spot four years in a row.

“It wasn’t expected that we would win the team title at the beginning of the season," Mogollon coach Nolan Porter said.

Siblings Khyla Lipumano (D-II: 100) of Yuma Catholic and her brother Khel Lipumano (D-IV: 113) are 2024 state champions.
