The Genies 14U team kicked off their 2007 season with an impressive 4th place showing in the open high school division of the Grand Canyon State Games, March 17-18 at Sunnyslope High School. The Genies were the only 14U team entered in the nine-team field and finished with a 3-2 record. In the tournament’s first game Ashton Jones collected 11 rebounds and Cara Bomar posted 10 points to lead a balanced scoring attack, as every Genies player broke into the scoring column of a 36-22 win over the Hot Shots 16U team. In game two the Genies met the oldest team in the tournament, the Rez Girls 18U club, and came away on the short end of a 54-35 score. This set the stage for the girls to have to win two games in three hours (their third and fourth games of the day) with only seven players in attendance in order to advance to Sunday’s action. Undaunted, the Genies proceeded to do just that, first beating the Arizona Best 17U club (38-35) behind Alyssa Heeman’s 15-point effort; and then just an hour later, taking down the Lady Cobras 15U squad by the count of 46-35 as Jones posted 18 points on 9-of-10 shooting to lead the Genies in scoring. Lastly, in Sunday’s final four encounter with the Arizona Hype-White 17U team, the Genies hung with the older girls for much of the first half before the Hype pulled away for a 52-29 win. Bomar paced the Genies with 13 points. For the five tournament games the Genies were led by Jones with 40 points and 38 rebounds. She was followed by Heeman (40/20), Bomar (29/17), Cortnee Walton (27/27), Christine Stevenson (19/19), Aubrey Lincoln (18/8), Shana Davis (7/14) and Amberlee Tialino (5/6).
