The Brophy Broncos beat the Hamilton Huskies 5-0 to secure back-to-back state championship titles. The Broncos lost to the Huskies earlier in the regular season, 5-4. Brophy head coach Chris Campbell said that the losses earlier in the season helped them get to the championship and win. 

“We lost to Catalina Foothills as well as Hamilton,” Campbell said. "I think that served as a wake up call to the fact that if we don’t bring our best game on every court, we are just average.”

Brophy won all matches on courts one through five, with the sixth match not finishing due to Brophy already getting to five points.
