Mountain View hosted Mountain Pointe Monday in a match that won’t decide a state playoff spot but there’s still plenty to celebrate with the Mountain Lions competing this year for the first time in school history and the Pride getting a full season in after only playing three matches last year.
The state tournament is one week away so let’s take a quick look at the playoff picture for teams from Southern Arizona:
