The Genies closed out the 2002 calendar year with a fifth place finish at the Hoopin' Holiday Tournament at the Ft. McDowell Indian Reservation. Playing with just five girls, the Genies were forced to play three games in the span of three hours -- a daunting task even with substitutes. Additionally, the tournament was for girls 12-and-under and the Genies roster was composed of four ten-year-olds and one eleven-year-old. The girls were clearly the youngest and smallest team in the tournament. Nevertheless, the Genies came out smoking with an impressive 29-16 win in their first game against the Madison Elementary Lady Lions. The girls then dropped a 29-24 decision to Gila River, a team that boasted girls 100 pounds bigger than the Genies, before fatigue set in and they fell to the Ft. McDowell Renegades in the evenings final contest 30-22.
