I was reading another thread on greatest NCAA Championship Finals "upsets" and it got me thinking. What are some of the biggest upsets in AZ State Championships?
A Few that come to mind are:
-Alex Pavlenko losing to Cactus (CANT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER HIS NAME... APOLOGIES) If I remember correctly this was Pavlenko's Senior Year at MDN.
-Matt Lopez of SS over Jerod Travasci (Butchered last name I think) of Mingus. Lopez' freshman year beating the Senior in the finals.
-Big DeBo of SS over Aaron Archuletta in 2004 I think. Archuletta beat him at FW by 5 or 6 I believe then gets beat by the Freshman in the finals by 5 or 6.
-Evan Larkin of SS over Bassett of Salpointe Catholic. Don't know the year sorry.
-Mathers of Desert Vista over Murillo of SS
-Moen of Coconino over Quintana of SS in 2005.
Some other upsets not just from state but in general:
-Lil' DeBo of SS over Chang of Mingus at FW finals. No one but him, His Brother, and Dad saw that one coming.
-Big DeBo of SS over Abdullah of Hamilton at FW.
-Lopez of SS over Pami of Cimmaron (LV) at Peoria.
Comments on the matches above.... Additions... ALL WELCOME! I cant think of any current matches off top.
