Boys Swimmers of the Year: Barrett Miesfeld & Cole Puchi
Girls Diver of the Year: Izzy Diamond

Sabino Senior Sarah Denninghoff led the way at state with two individual championships and two relay championships. She was the first leg of the 200 Yard Medley Relay (Denninghoff, LeighAnne Oliver JR, Caitlin Wright JR, Courtney Dangremond JR) for Sabino where they broke the state record with a time of 1:46.56.
Denninghoff also posted a time in the 200 Free during the season that put her in the top 10 for that event. She also qualified for the USA Swimming National Junior team in 100 Back at the Olympic Team Trials in 2008.
2009 Championships:
Denninghoff also took the 100 Free,100 Back and the 400 Free Relay with Wright, Dangremond and Oliver.
Barrett Miesfeld of Catalina Foothills was one of two top Boys swimmers at state, capturing two individual and two relay championships. The Senior set a new state record in the 100 Butterfly (48.80).
He also posted the fourth best 4AI time in the 100 Breast during the season.
2009 Championships:
Miesfeld won the 200 IM to go along with his Butterfly and he also won the 200 Medley Relay with Rhett Wallace SR, TJ Lundstrom SR and Cole Puchi JR and the 200 Free Relay with Jason Alentado FR, Drew Gyorke SR and Lundstrom.
Cole Puchi
Puchi also won the 100 Free and the 100 Back.
2009 Championships:
200 Medley Relay withWallace SR, TJ Lundstrom SR and Miesfeld. He was also part of the 400 Free Relay with Wallace, Adrian Brynnel and Gyorke.
Izzy Diamond
Won the state championship in Diving. Her sister Hannah came in fourth for Catalina Foothills. Izzy also runs Cross Country but prefers Diving if given a chance to compete at the next level.
Harry Carlson
Came in tenth at state and the phoenix newspaper made a big deal about it because it was their only chance to show anything at state. It doesn’t matter; Carlson has made a steady climb and is now the best in Southern Arizona at the 4A II level.
Coach Lundstrom continues to bring dominance to the pool and he loses Denninghoff , Miesfeld, Wallace and Lundstrom but there is plenty more left for another run next fall.

Coach of the Year: Mary Beth Bleyl
Despite losing her number two and three swimmers, Hope Peterson and Chloe Peterson to eligibility issues with the AIA, Bleyl was able to guide her team to a third place finish in Girls and a second place in Boys.
Swimmers of the Year: Senior Erin Bleyl and Sophomore Daniel Bleyl
Both won a pair of state championships and set new state times in the process. In fact, Erin and Daniel posted times in many events that would have earned them first, second or third place finishes at state but swimmers are confined to two individual events plus two relays or one individual and three relays.
Erin has submitted a Service Academy Nomination Package and will be interviewed sometime around November 21.
Her older sister Shawna is a softball pitcher for Army (US Military Academy at West Point).
“Shawna has had a real positive experience and she is sharing that with Erin,” Mary Beth Bleyl told me. “Erin is real well-rounded and would love to serve her country.”
Erin has visits with both the Air Force Academy and West Point swim coaches scheduled. “Being an athlete is part of the ‘Whole-Man’ concept adopted by the military academies. They look for academics, athletics and leadership.”
According to many sources, Erin has gone beyond the three areas needed to be well-rounded.
It was Daniel who first came up with the notion of following their parents in military service to our country. Wall and Mary Beth Bleyl are graduates of the Air Force Academy.
Erin has also been name to the USA Swimming Scholastic All-American Team.

Sabino at Cat Foothills Volleyball – Bushman Shines
Maddie Bushman told me she realized she had a fight on her hands when Sabino was down one set to Catalina Foothills.
Catalina Foothills took that first set 25-23 despite being down 11-16 on a mixture of missed blocks and unforced errors.But Michelle Snyder chose to make her presence known, after a time out by Coach A.J. Malis, and promptly delivered a devastating kill to shake up Sabino. Sabino followed with their own mistakes with a shot into the net and a double hit to bring the score close at 14-16.
Snyder then blocked a Hannah Rebb shot to bring them within one and Brittany Mar completed the comeback with an ace. This action forced John Kramkowski to call timeout.
Bushman followed with her fourth score of the set to briefly take back the lead for Sabino. Another kill by Snyder would later give Catalina Foothills a 19-17 lead but a long serve and a controversial line call would give Sabino a tie at 19.
Bushman would then deliver her own ace and Catalina Foothills would follow that with a double hit to give Sabino a late lead 21-19. The air seemed to be deflated on Catalina Foothills side as the call and the subsequent two points shifted the momentum to Sabino.
It didn’t last long as Rebb sent a shot way long and a rotation error would come at the worst time for Sabino to bring the set back to a tie.
The score would eventually get to 23-23 before Sabino failed to get the ball in and then Leah Woznica would deliver a floater that landed between Sabino’s lines of defense to give her the winning ace.
I asked Malis what he expected out of the match and he told me quite blankly that he wanted a win. It looked for a moment that he would not only get the win but an upset.
Catalina Foothills is too far back in the power ratings to make the playoffs this year while Sabino is fighting to make the top eight. “Power points are beyond us right now,” Malis said. “I voted against the region playoffs this year because no one has ever played their way in (to state) by winning regionals.”
A region playoff would have given Sahuaro, Marana and Catalina Foothills a second chance but the 4A coaches decided to end the event instead opting for a straight shot at power points.
“Even if one of us were to win it we would be seeded 16 against the number one seed.”
5A has kept their region playoff system intact (Tucson defeated Buena 3-1 and Rincon defeated Mountain View 3-1) to prepare for a state tournament atmosphere and to give teams a chance to play in late in the season.
Tucson is sitting at 17 right now and will need to win the 5A regional to make the playoffs. It’s not likely to happen.
I can see both sides of the argument, having had a daughter play at CDO a couple of years ago. I used to think it was a waste of time but then I saw that it gave the teams a chance to get together in one place and showcase their talents and to provide for competition. They were also handed All-Region awards in front of fans and teams.
Besides giving teams a second chance to make the playoffs it guarantees an extra game. What senior wouldn’t want that?
Sabino did take the first set personally and they got on the Bushman bus – or at least her arm.
“She is one of the most physical players in Tucson,” Kramkowski told me after the match. “She has great skills and is a great kid.”
It was evident that there was one main player on the court after the first set despite the efforts placed on Snyder’s shoulders to keep Catalina Foothills in the match.
When I asked Kramkowski about Bushman’s play after the first set he told me they try to spread the offense around early to open it up for her later. I likened it to running the ball in order to open up your passing game in football.
Sabino shot out 3-0 in the second set and eventually pulled out 16-10 and then 20-14. They then coasted to a 25-18 win.
The third set mirrored the second as Sabino went up 5-0 and eventually won 25-18. Bushman recorded six kills and an ace in the set to go up 2-1.
Catalina Foothills showed some fight in the fourth set with shots and kills from Snyder to make it 7-5 early on but Jenna Hartmann helped Bushman out with some kills of her own as Sabino slowly crept up to an 19-6 lead. Bushman would score Sabino’s last three points in dramatic fashion on a block followed by two kills to win the set 25-10 and the match 3-1.
Sabino plays their next match Thursday at Flowing Wells and Catalina Foothills travels to CDO.
Bushman finished with 15 kills and 14 digs; Hartmann collected 10 kills; Rebb had 11 kills and 7 digs; Hoeger had 32 assists and 8 digs.
Snyder finished with 8 kills and 18 digs; Shakayla McEaddy had 12 assists; Mar had 10 digs.
NOTEBOOK:
Former Catalina Foothills and Arizona basketball star Julie Brase-Hairgrove was in attendance as was her mother Jody Brase.
Brase is the athletic director at Catalina Foothills and she is doing a great job as parent complaints about past administrators are far in the past and her teams remain competitive.
I’ve known Brase for 20 years because we both worked together in Amphitheater back then along with
her sister Vicki. She now has grandchildren (from Julie) and they were there also.
That makes Lute Olson a great grandfather. He was there also to watch another family member shine on an athletic court.
Michelle Snyder is another grand daughter and I feel embarrassed for not knowing that before. I talked briefly with the Olson family between sets and Lute looks healthy and relaxed. Having a father who is also ill, I hope nothing but the best for them.
I asked Snyder about her game and she told me she feels pressure to be a leader but she is ready for it. She is getting more confident in her role and will be a major force next year.
Maddie Bushman was named to the US Junior Olympic All-American team over the summer along with Michaela Christiaansen of Ironwood Ridge and Taylor Lane of Amphi High School.
Her club team, Dinamo, finished second at the US Junior Olympic National Championships and she traveled to Russia with her team also.
It was Senior Night and they recognized Brittany Marr, Desiree Scott and Leah Woznica. They do the tunnel during announcements and all the students come down from the stands and the players run through it.
Catalina Foothills softball star Noelle Devlin is also on the team.
The controversial call in the first set reminded me about the importance of officiating in volleyball. One bad call equals a two-point swing. One team gets a point that the other team should have been given. (I think the call was right in this case though). If a team experiences two bad calls in a set then they will probably lose the set.
Volleyball and swimming are the most difficult sports to photograph – try it.

Football Picks Week 11 – 8 Games Have Huge Implications
Football Picks Week 11
Undefeated teams: CDO 9-0 and Sunnyside 9-0
I was 14-8 last week. My total is now 127-29.
The 1A and 2A teams let me down. There were plenty of duds last week but this week makes up for it. I count at least 8 games that have power point implications. 2A and 3A playoffs underway.
I will put up my 2A and 3A Citizen All-Star teams this week.
4A – 5A: 25 Teams
PALO VERDE: W Cat Foothills 13-7; W Sahuaro 9-7; L McClintock 5-17; W Amphi 31-0; W Catalina 30-0; W Cholla 28-0; W Douglas 16-6; W Sahuarita 40-7; W Rio Rico 56-8 NEXT at Santa Rita.
SANTA RITA: W Rincon 3-33; L CDO 27-9; W Sabino 27-16; W Rio Rico 69-0; W Cholla 55-0; W Douglas 40-0; W Amphi 37-7; W Catalina 45-7; W Sahuarita 34-6 NEXT Palo Verde.
Game of the week? Santa Rita may have to forfeit 7 games due to a player falsifying paperwork to play at Santa Rita. Santa Rita needs the win to stay away from Mingus until the championship (if they get there). Palo Verde can leap over several teams and take Santa Rita’s power points with them to a 2 seed. Santa Rita is at home. Santa Rita by 10.
SABINO: W Sahuaro 57-17; W Moon Valley 28-7; L Santa Rita 16-27; W Mountain View 28-21; W Marana 48-0; W Desert View 56-14; W Pueblo 59-0;W Cat Foothills 42-10; W Flowing Wells 56-0 NEXT at CDO.
CDO: W Ironwood Ridge 27-13; W Santa Rita 27-9; W Tucson 27-9; W Queen Creek 30-7; W Nogales 56-13; W Saguaro 44-0; W Cat Foothills 35-7; W Flowing Wells 35-7; W Pueblo 52-0 NEXT Sabino.
The second game of the week. The way the power point system works anything can happen. CDO brings so many victory points that a loss can flip the two teams. Take a look at what happened to Empire. I don’t see it happening though. Too much Ka’Deem. CDO by 10.
SALPOINTE: W Rio Rancho (NM) 34-24; W Cat Foothills 11-3; W Casa Grande 23-7; W I Ridge 48-27; W Buena 20-6; L Hamilton 2-45; W Rincon 35-14; W Mountain View 12-3; W Tucson 20-17 NEXT Sunnyside.
SUNNYSIDE: W North Canyon 24-20; W Nogales 22-19; W Mesa MV 23-18; W Mountain View 43-20; W Sahuaro 47-7; W Buena 35-10; W Tucson 35-14; W Ironwood Ridge 35-14; W Rincon 72-27 NEXT at Salpointe.
The third game of the week. This is Salpointe’s playoff game. Sunnyside can move into the top three if Centennial loses to Chavez. Sunnyside by 14.
CHOLLA: L Desert View 0-42; L Marana 2-21; L 7-20 Pueblo; L Sahuarita 6-41; L Santa Rita 0-55; L Palo Verde 0-28; W Rio Rico 29-20; L Amphi 13-55; L Catalina 19-35 NEXT at Douglas.
DOUGLAS: W Bisbee 42-19; W Nogales 27-20; L Desert View 7-38; W Catalina 27-22; W Sahuarita 21-14; L Santa Rita 0-40; L Palo Verde 6-16; W Rio Rico 46-26; W Amphi 30-28 NEXT Cholla.
Douglas wins by 14 and guarantees a better seed.
CATALINA: W Flowing Wells 21-2; W Desert Edge 14-7; L Sahuaro 14-35; L Douglas 22-27; L Palo Verde 0-38; W Rio Rico 63-15; W Sahuarita 12-7; L Santa Rita 7-45; W Cholla 35-19 NEXT Amphi.
AMPHI: W Marana 21-0; W Seton 42-34; W Flowing Wells 28-7; L Palo Verde 0-31; W Rio Rico 55-14; W Sahuarita 21-7; L Santa Rita 7-37; W Cholla 55-13 L Douglas 28-30 NEXT at Catalina.
Catalina is ranked 16th right now. They lose and they are probably out of the playoffs. Amphi needs the win to stay away from playing at a top 5 team. Amphi wins.
SAHUARO: L Sabino 17-57; L Palo Verde 9-7; W Catalina 35-14; W Cat Foothills 21-13; L Queen Creek 14-19; L Sunnyside 7-47; L Nogales 13-40; W Desert View 22-19; W Marana 34-7 NEXT Cienega.
CIENEGA: W Buena 28-7; L Cactus Shadows 33-32; W Sahuarita 41-14; W Ironwood Ridge 19-7; W Flowing Wells 42-6; W Cat Foothills 56-0; W Desert View 40-6; W Marana 56-14; W Nogales 47-14; NEXT at Sahuaro.
Cienega needs a win to move into a top 4 seed position (potentially). Sahuaro is just waiting to see where they will play. Cienega by 17.
NOGALES: L Sahuarita 28-6; L Sunnyside 22-19; L Douglas 20-27; L CDO 13-56; W Flowing Wells 44-0; W Sahuaro 40-13; W Pueblo 42-14; L Cienega 14-47; W Desert View 28-24 NEXT Marana.
MARANA: L Amphi 21-0; W Cholla 21-2; L Sabino 0-48; W Pueblo 14-7; W Flowing Wells 20-0; L M View 7-20; L Cienega 14-56; L Desert View 14-35; L Sahuaro 7-34 NEXT at Nogales.
Nogales has a slim chance to make the playoffs with a win. They will win.
MOUNTAIN VIEW: L Marcos de Niza 7-42; L Red Mountain 21-51; L Sabino 21-28; L Sunnyside 20-43; L Tucson 8-31; W Rincon 54-27; W Marana 20-7; L Salpointe 3-12; W Buena 20-13.
IRONWOOD RIDGE: L CDO 13-27; W Skyline 35-28; L Chavez 17-20; L Cienega 7-19; L Salpointe 27-48; W Rincon 41-13; W Tucson 24-21; W Buena 21-13; L Sunnyside 14-35 NEXT at Mountain View.
Ironwood Ridge needs to win or they might be out of the playoffs. A 5-5 record will give them a low seed. And they will win.
TUCSON: L Desert Vista 25-0; L CDO 9-27; L 13-30 Westwood; W Pueblo 30-0; W Mountain View 31-8; L Ironwood Ridge 21-24; L Sunnyside 14-35; W Buena 35-7; L Salpointe 17-20 NEXT Rincon.
RINCON: L Santa Rita 3-33; W Carl Hayden 41-0; L Desert View 7-27; L 3-35 Pinnacle; L Buena 14-52; L I Ridge 13-41; L Mountain View 27-54; L Salpointe 14-35; L Sunnyside 27-72 NEXT at Tucson.
Tucson came close last week. They get it done this week.
DESERT VIEW: W Cholla 42-0; W Pueblo 33-0; W Rincon 27-7; W Douglas 38-7; L Cat Foothills 7-17; L Sabino 14-56; L Cienega 6-40; L Sahuaro 19-22; W Marana 35-14; L Nogales 24-28.
Desert View is sitting at a 15 seed with no more games to play. Nogales could knock them out of the playoffs when they beat Marana.
CAT FOOTHILLS: L Palo Verde 7-13; W Sahuarita 14-11; L Salpointe 3-11; L 13-21 Sahuaro; W Desert View 17-7; L Cienega 0-56; L CDO 7-35; L Sabino 10-42; W Flowing Wells 26-8; W Pueblo 28-0.
Catalina Foothills is 4-6 and sitting a 13 seed right now but they can no longer help themselves. They are less than two points away from being out of the playoffs.
RIO RICO: L Pueblo 39-34; L Empire 0-47; L Santa Rita 0-69; L Amphi 14-55; W Verrado 21-13; L Catalina 15-63; L Cholla 20-29; L Douglas 26-46; L Palo Verde 8-56 NEXT Sahuarita.
SAHUARITA: W Nogales 28-6; L Cat Foothills 11-14; L Cienega 14-41; W Cholla 41-6; L Douglas 14-21; L Amphi 7-21; L Catalina 7-12; L Palo Verde 7-40; L Santa Rita 6-34 NEXT at Rio Rico.
Nothing on the line here except for pride. Toss up game of the week.
PUEBLO: W Rio Rico 39-34; L Desert View 0-33; W Cholla 20-7; L Tucson 0-30; L Marana 7-14; L Sabino 0-59; L Nogales 14-42; L CDO 0-52; L Cat Foothills 0-28 NEXT at Flowing Wells.
FLOWING WELLS: L Catalina 2-12; L Amphi 7-28; L Buena 0-45; L Cienega 6-42; L Nogales 0-44; L Marana 0-20; L CDO 7-35; L Cat Foothills 8-26; L Sabino 0-56 NEXT Pueblo.
Flowing Wells by 3 and both seasons are over.
BUENA: L 7-28; W Camelback 39-6; L Perry 13-16; W 45-0 Flowing Wells; W Rincon 52-14; L Salpointe 6-20; L Sunnyside 10-35; L Ironwood Ridge 13-21; L Tucson 7-35; L Mountain View 13-20.
Season ends 3-7

Going for the win proved costly for Empire as they drop from a 1 seed to a 6 seed in one night. They beat Safford earlier 21-7. They will do it again.
SANTA CRUZ: W 34-3 San Tan; L Wickenburg 7-17; L 0-20 Fountain Hills; W 35-14 Parker; L Payson 7-42; L Florence 13-34; L Safford 21-26; L Empire 27-56; W Globe 44-6; W Coolidge 55-35.

St. Johns may be a 3 seed and Thatcher a 14 seed but St. Johns got blasted by 10 seed Williams 7-56 last Friday. Thatcher has a chance and I’m giving it to them…by 3.
TOMBSTONE: L Safford 14-29; W Ray 66-8; L San Manuel 52-55; L Morenci 12-19; L Thatcher 14-35; W Pima 42-21; L Willcox 0-48; W Peoria Accelerated 32-12: L Benson 16-34: L Bisbee 13-14.
