Mountain View swept district rival Marana 3-0 (25-19, 26-24, 25-15) Wednesday night to improve to 6-5 overall and 1-3 in regular season matches. The win came one day after taking power-program Salpointe to five sets at home before dropping the fifth set 15-8.
Ironwood Ridge Nighthawk Invitational
Omni Tucson National: Aug. 26-27
Ironwood Ridge beat Marana 62-42 Friday night in a game defined by turnovers, long runs and seemingly little defense. I guess one would have had to see the game in person to realize Marana (0-1) is not as bad as the final score indicates and Ironwood Ridge (1-0) is not quite as good as the 62 points indicates.
Ironwood Ridge had a difficult time shaking Basha last night but the Nighthawks pulled away with a 51-46 win to improve to 7-1 in power ranking games. Oh, and along the way, senior standout Lexy Ram set an important scoring milestone.
State qualifying is getting heating up and teams and golfer are beginning to hit their stride heading into the final weeks. That was the case Monday when Catalina Foothills shot a 143 at Del Urich to get past Rincon/University (146) and Marana (150).
Tucson Sahuaro remained perfect after the Cougars defeated Tucson 3-1 (22-25, 25-18, 25-17, 25-12) on Thursday night. The win solidified the Cougars as one of the teams to beat in Southern Arizona after the squad improved to 5-0 in division play and 11-0 overall including a six-game sweep at the TUSD Invitational two weekends ago.
Tucson Sahuaro senior Kathryn Ottman played almost flawless golf on Saturday to capture the individual championship of the Ironwood Ridge Nighthawk Invitational held at the OMNI Tucson National.
Tucson Catalina Foothills held on for a 30-24 win over Tucson Pueblo Friday night in an atmosphere that head coach Jeff Scurran aptly described as a "circus."
With the top three teams in each section claiming an automatic bid to the state playoffs, Section III hasn't even decided a winner much less an order of ranking.
