The Genies 14s continued their preparation for next month’s AAU state championships by again playing up, this time in the Bronze Division of the Thunder Senior tournament. The bronze division featured teams as old as 16U in its 16-team bracket format. The Genies opened tournament play with a one-sided 52-18 victory over the Southwest Scorpions 16U team. The Genies jumped to a 30-point halftime lead and cruised from there. Christine Stevenson led the team with 13 points as every team member scored. The Genies then dropped a pair of Saturday contests -- first to the SW Rebels 16U squad (39-24), and then to the Arizona Premier 16U (36-29) after leading by one at the half. In Sunday’s final match-up, the Genies faced their first 14U team of the season in the Arizona Lady Silver Streaks. Though the Genies started slowly, they quickly rallied for a 42-22 win to finish the tournament in seventh place. Ashton Jones scored 11 points and Amberlee Tialino added 10 to pace the Genies. For the four-game tournament Jones led the team in scoring with 32 points. She was followed by Stevenson and Alyssa Heeman (25 each), Tialino (24), Cara Bomar (16), Cortnee Walton (11), Kelsi Haugo (10) and Shana Davis (4). The Genies overall mark now stands at 5-4.
