The 7/8 Girls playing with only 6 players win a close game in overtime over Scottsdale team 35-33. The Tigers were led by Dallas with 22points.

The 5/6 Girls finally win a game in the boys division  in the Southwest League. The girls have played in many close games and a few they should have one, but they do get win 25-10. The whole team played great defense!

The 7/8 Grade girls win their 3rd straight game with back to back blowouts. The girls won 48-17 on January 16 then come back this past Saturday to win 36-14.

The 7/8 girls shut down the Mesa team that had them wrongly disqualified and cost them a championship in the summer league. The Lady Tigers went to their home court to dominate the Mesa girls as they have every time they have played and only allow 8pts. to a team that averages in high 30's. The Lady Tigers also got revenge on the AZ Extreme in the Winter Classic as they won twice against them including a dominating game in the Championship!

The 12u Lady Tigers won the Winter Classic and go undefeated in the tournament held at Carl Hayden High School.The girls came ready to play after being off for nearly 2 months and were focused for most of the tournament.

The 11u Boys take 2nd place in the Salt River Jingle Jam with a 24-17 loss to Feurza Raiders in the championship game. The boys played very well all tournament but loss to Fuerza two times by the same score. The 11u girls playing in their first tournament didnt fair as well. The girls played short handed with only  two girls actually 11u, the rest were ten and under and even a second grader.The girls were beaten pretty good by the Lady Hoopers in the first game, but the second game the Lady Tigers let slip away after leading the entire game and loss by 3 to Maricopa.

I would like to take time to say goodbye to several Tiger players who have moved out of state.Those player are Stra (Europe),Teddy & Jaron (California).These 3 players were instumental to the tigers boys team getting recognition as a very  good boys club team in the 11u and 12u divisions. Although the team won many games, we never really had the complete team to beat the elite teams on a consistent basis, but with Teddy, Stra & Jaron we were always in a close game with the top teams and at times would beat them. With many other club teams trying to pull them away, the boys as well as boys parents, made me realize that this is more than just basketball as they continued to stay loyal to the end. Stra, Teddy and Jaron were amongst the best players in their age group and would have started on most club team in the state! Good luck to you guys in the future. I also would like to thank Sasha(Stra's Dad) for the creation of the Tiger website as well as the Southwest Basketball & Az Youth Volleyball websites. Sasha dedicated his time to create website and refused to take a penny for his work, as I have told you many times the Tiger Family appreciates you! Thanks for everything.

Original Lady Tiger Savannah Ecklund had an great start to her High School career by breaking her school record with 33 points in the Desert Edge Classic. Savannah has been a Tiger since the 4th grade, although we have many players that are in High School that have played with the Tigers, she is part of the group that have been with us since the beginning that is now in their first year of High School (Elise Jack- Westview, Latonia Walter -?) are others.In Ecklund's first game as a freshman starting on the varsity at Estrella Foothills she scored 21points in the teams one point loss to Ciabola. In the second game of the Desert Edge classic Savannah scored 33 point and breaks school record for most points in a game, but her team lost in overtime after Ecklund fouls out. Savannah goes on to lead her team in scoring the next two games, which earns her on the all- tournament team and a interview in the West Valley View as well asd making her Tiger coach very proud! Every week we will profile Tiger players asI get around to watch players at their school games. If parents have pictures of players at games please send them and we will post them on website.

The 7/8 Girls lose their first Ymca game in nearly 2 seasons to last season champs. The game was back and forth for the entire game before the Lady Tigers wore down. It was still a goo season with the girls finishing 10-1.

The 7/8 grade girls go undefeated in th 14 team D1 YMCA league. The Lady Tigers dominate league for a second straight season, after being wrongly disqualified in last season playoffs.The tigers came back focused this season and hopefully it carries on to this weekends playoffs!
