Arizona Sting Take 3rd at Thunder Tourney

The ladies of the Arizona Sting Grey worked hard this past weekend, taking 3rd in their first tournament of the Spring. Kayla Miranda played strong and brought her signature defense and scoring in key times throughout the weekend. "I was so impressed with the girls with such a few practices you could see the chemistry by the end of the tournament was strong. We had a simple main goal, get better each game and we did. An OT loss in the semis, and coming back strong for a 3rd place game, a coach could not be prouder." Coach Alonzo.
