By this time, the trophy could be named after Maricopa.

After winning its third consecutive Battle of the Burbs title from radio station Mix 96.9’s online contest, Maricopa received another trophy at a victory party Friday night. The community is now officially retired from the competition to give other Phoenix suburbs a chance.

In the free celebratory concert Friday, attendees were entertained by local groups Arizona All-Stars Fyrestorm Cheer, ATA Martial Arts and the Maricopa High School Marching Band. Then Arizona band Divided Minds performed before the trophy presentation. Headliners The Summer Set from Scottsdale closed out the evening at Copper Sky Regional Park.
