For the second time this season the Genies took home individual medals, this time with a third place finish in the Arizona AAU State Championships. In their opening round matchup with the Flagstaff Northstars, the Genies came away with a solid 47-27 victory. Despite playing a rather sloppy game the Genies led from start-to-finish and were never seriously challenged. In their second round contest, the girls proved they could compete with the best the state has to offer -- at least for a half. The Genies played the top-ranked Arizona Lady Silver Streaks to a virtual standoff for the first 16 minutes and went to the intermission trailing by just two. However, in the second half the Streaks methodically increased the lead before winning 34-19. Then, in the third place elimination game and with a chance to earn a rematch with the Silver Streaks in the championship on the line, the Genies fell to the Arizona Elite 42-31. For the tournament the Genies were led in scoring by Brittany (7+7+7=21), followed by Tara (8+2+7=17), Shannon (8+4+4=16), Maylinn (10+1+5=16), Cara (5+1+3=9), Cathryn (4+3+1=8), Kelsey (2+0+4=6) and Kelsi (3+1+0=4). Maylinn led all rebounders with 22, followed by Kelsey (16), Cathryn (13), Brittany and Cara (12 each), Kelsi and Tara (11 each) and Shannon (7).
