Here are the highlights:
Around the same time, Gilbert High student Nate Boulter and a few friends wanted to start a boys team at their school.
To do that, the boys had to start from scratch - convince the school board and convince enough schools in the East Valley to field teams to form a conference. At the time, only four Tucson schools had teams.
"I tell my (players) all the time how much those boys had to put up with," said Gilbert Highland coach Vee Hiapo, who coached Highland to four consecutive state title matches.
Boulter credits Gilbert's first boys coach, Jo Elyn Boone, and Mann for helping the sport become what it has.
"I don't think I could have played or been a captain with the caliber of talent coming out nowadays," Boulter said, laughing.
