The Genies 10s and 12s both took home tournament titles at the Queens of the Court tournament hosted by the Arizona Sting, June 10-11 at Basha and Hamilton High Schools. The dual championships marked the fourth time this season the two teams have taken top honors at the same tournament. The Genies 10s started things off Friday evening with a sloppy yet convincing 25-3 victory over the Hoop Angels. Saturday morning the girls rolled over the DFAC Falcons 29-9 and then came back that same evening to beat the Falcons again, this time 30-12 for the championship. For the tournament the Genies were led by Elizabeth Rudd with 20 points and nine rebounds, she was followed by Tessa Smith (14/23), Rebecca Rudd (14/8), Jerrica Villescaz (10/9), Ashlin Palmer (10/3), Alex Nicholls (6/4), Candice Bomar (5/3), Michela McGertt (5/2) and Caitlin Evans (0/5). The Genies 12s also had a relatively easy time of it. They opened play with a match-up against the Fundamentals, who brought not only their own squad, but also members of the Phenoms, Falcons and Thunder. But even this “all-star” collection failed to slow the Genies, who sank a season-best 16-of-22 free throw attempts in a 39-30 victory. Saturday’s play brought a pair of contests against the talented Arizona Thunder 11s, a team that is undefeated this year against the other Arizona 11U teams. However, the step-up in competition proved too much for the Thunder, and the Genies walked away with back-to-back 55-36 and 45-37 victories, the last one for the tournament championship. For the tournament the Genies were led by Cara Bomar with 43 points and 16 rebounds, she was followed by Ashton Jones (35/29), Mackenzie Flannigan (18/19), Shana Davis (18/12), Tara Rickenbach (15/14), Kelsi Haugo (7/3) and Alyssa Heeman (3/2 and a team-high 12 assists). The three wins move the Genies 2005 overall record to 41-8. The tournament championship marks their fifth in a row and gives them nine titles this season in the 13 tournaments they have entered.
