Five Royals stay in competition at Nogales

Tyler Mallard, Zach Belway and Luis Urbina each made it to Saturday’s quarterfinals at the Nogales Super Championship Tournament, which finished up late on Friday night.

Louis Giroux and Julian Lake were alive in the consolation bracket.

“We brought eight guys and we’ve got five still going so that’s a pretty big deal for us,” said coach Tony Becerra, who said that Dos Pueblos was in 10th place out of 60 teams the last time he had heard.

Competition begins at 10 a.m. Saturday.
