Catalina Foohills won eight state titles and was runner-up in three other championships this past year to pace schools in Southern Arizona and the East Valley in athletic accomplishments.

Sunnyside senior Kory DeBerry faced his final high school wrestling match Friday night with a chance to become a rare four-time individual state champ. DeBerry won his first three titles competing in 5A-II at 135, 140 and 145. His opponent from Mesa High in the finale, Edgar Verdi, was a state champ last year at 152 in 5A-I. With the change in conference designation both rested in Division I this year. Something had to give. It wasn\'t DeBerry.

A final wrestling invitational tune-up turned out quite well Saturday for Dobson High. Polishing off all seven of its foes in pool play the Mustangs matched up with city rival Red Mountain in the team final and came away a 49-21 winner at the Nate Johnson Memorial Wrestling Tournament at Red Mountain High School.
