Having played Catalina Foothills twice before, Nogales coach Hector Luna knew his team's opportunities would be limited.

Nogales took advantage of one of its few opportunities when Ramon Miranda scored on a free kick from 30 yards in the 18th minute to give the Apaches a 1-0 victory and the Class 4A-I Kino Region title.

"Ramon is a free-kick master. He has scored so many goals for us this year on free kicks," Luna said.

"He just has a nose for the goal."

Catalina Foothills appeared to tie the game in the 74th minute when Clay Campbell nailed a shot. However, the score was negated when Foothills was ruled offside.

● Salpointe Catholic 4, Mountain View 1: At Salpointe, the Lancers' Fernando Gauna had a part in all four of Salpointe's goals as the Lancers took the region crown.

Gauna had a goal and three assists. His goal came just before the end of the first half, when Gauna nailed a penalty kick that put the Lancers up 3-1.

"I just turned around and found the guys there," Gauna said. "Every time, it was just right there."

Mountain View struck first in the third minute, when Cole Honer's shot took a bounce off the top of the post and rolled into the net.
