An exhausted Genies U11 squad, playing shorthanded throughout the tournament due to injuries, sickness and family emergencies, finally ran out of gas in the championship game of the Ft. McDowell Holiday Tournament and fell to the U12 Outsiders from Phoenix 30-12. With Cara and Amber unavailable from the start, the Genies went into the two-day tournament with just six players. However, after the first day, the Genies lost Alyssa to illness and played the final three games of the tournament with no substitutes -- with starting point guard, Tara running on fumes from an illness that eventually sidelined her as well the following day. With all those obstacles the Genies still managed to emerge victorious in every game except those against the older Outsiders. At the conclusion of the tourny, Tara, Kelsi and Ashton were all named to the all-tournament team. Cecelia and Alexis also were key contributers throughout the tournament.
