HIGH SCHOOL STATE PLAYOFFS
Citizen Staff Report
It will be an all-Tucson final four Friday in the Class 4A/5A Division II boys volleyball tournament, but one team not making the cut is three-time defending state champion Catalina Foothills.
Sahuaro, Rincon/University, Catalina and Ironwood Ridge won quarterfinal matches, including Ironwood Ridge’s road upset of Foothills in four games to hand the Falcons their first state tournament loss in more than three years.
In track, University of Arizona football recruit Ryan Milus tied a state record in the 100 meters in 10.33 seconds on Day 1 of 2 at the 5A-I track championship at Chandler high School.
In baseball, Canyon del Oro beat Cienega and is the lone southern Arizona team remaining in the big school playoffs.
