Kayla Miranda and the Arizona Sting Grey placed second when they made a trip to El Paso, Texas March 30-April 1 to play in the Southwest Shoot Out. One of the most exciting games was when they played the El Paso Huskies in the semi finals.
This strong team with a 6'5" Baylor commit in Kristina Higgins was undefeated in nearly two years of play - until they went against the Sting. The Sting had lost to the Huskies in earlier pool play and was excited for a rematch. It was a tight game, trading the lead up until the last 3 seconds when Kayla stole a pass and made a layup over Higgins to tie the game. The Sting won the game in overtime to move on to the championships. Unfortunately with only a 20 minute rest before the game, the Sting was unable to win the championship. But everyone felt they had already won.
Kayla Miranda’s passion is basketball. Her ability to drive to the hoop, take the outside shot or pull up and shoot the short jumper make her an offensive threat all over the court. She’s a fierce defender that enjoys a physical game. Her defensive skills have denied top scorers from schools across Arizona and the nation. Kayla Miranda possesses leadership, discipline and drive on and off the court. Her work ethic and focus ensure success in academics and athletics.
