Consolation final: No. 4 Sumedha Balwadgi of Arizona College Prep def. No. 3 Caliyah Howard of Youngker 21-14, 21-18.

Quote: “I felt a little bit of pressure, yeah. This was so surreal. I was so surprised. Ironwood is amazing. I lost to its No. 1 during a tournament earlier in the year. I was keeping a good mindset. I was down 15-10 in the second game, but that’s when I told myself, ‘Get in a groove. Slow it down.’ And then I got to 15 all and it just went up from there. I think that was the most important moment.”

Quotes: “Oh, it was so difficult facing our teammates. When we practice, we don’t know. Because there are some days we win and some days they win. It’s 50-50, so going in it was like full focus. We can not let any points drop.”—Sasha Tijore.

“It (winning) was pretty great. Last year we got third so it was redemption. So it was a pretty great feeling.”—Alyssa Ridgley.

“That was super special. It was unreal. We had two in the finals in doubles and one in singles. It shows their hard work. It was tough to have two in there in doubles, because you can’t really cheer for one. But it was fun. It was fun.”—Ironwood coach Brett Stafford.

Unified final

Mesa High’s Carlos Otero/Manuel Ortiz def. Sunrise Mountain’s Payton Sweeny/Trevor Collette in three games.

Quote: “This means a lot. This was my last year here. I had a great partner in Manuel. I had a lot of fun with him, and the competition was really good.”—Carlos Otero.

“I was very happy when we won. It was kind of hard. We were struggling a little bit, but we kept our focus and were a good team. We made sure that we were talking to each other and making positive movements. And I’m happy that he is my partner.”—Manuel Ortiz.
