A quick shapshot of the recently completed prep athletic year shows a runaway leader in state titles and or runner-up finishes - Catalina Foothills.

The Falcons piled up eight state titles and three runner-up finishes. They weren't particular about the time of year in doing so. Their accomplishments -- four fall state titles (boys cross country, girls golf, boys swimming girls swimming), two in the winter (boys and girls soccer) and two in the spring (boys and girls tennis). They were second in boys golf, girls track and boys volleyball.

The next closest school to Catalina Foothills in total titles and/or runners-up was East Valley representative Hamilton. The Huskies won three state titles (football, girls golf and girls soccer) and were second in girls volleyball, boys soccer, baseball and girls track.

Next on the list of titles/runners-up was Canyon del Oro. The Dorados won boys golf, softball and girls track and were runners-up in football and boys track. Thatcher, which didn't win a state title, was runner-up in boys and girls basketball, girls volleyball and boys tennis.
