ATHLETICS

Tiger Pride

First of all, TIGER PRIDE!

Marana Athletic News

Last week was the final week for soccer and wrestling. Both the men’s and women’s soccer

programs played very competitive teams and gave an exciting show in their final games.

The women’s team played until the 80th minute and executed a winning goal in the 71st

minute of the game against CDO. Our men’s team revealed their true competitive nature and

tremendous progress by beating Vista Grande which was a challenge for them last year.

Wrestling “Tiger Style” showed a great athletic performance against Poston Butte, Maricopa

and Cienega with a winning sweep of all three teams. They are preparing for the Division I

sectionals at Desert Vista. We wish them luck!

This is the final week of basketball and it would be great for you to come out and support

our Tigers. These young men and women have worked hard all year and have represented

Marana Athletics with the highest level of integrity. We have challenging games ahead so

more spectators in the “Tiger Pride” house would be FABULOUS! Hope to see you there on

Tuesday and Thursday!

REMINDER: Spring try-outs begin February 9th. If your child is planning to try-out for

baseball, softball, track, men’s volleyball, or tennis, he/she must have all completed

paperwork into the Athletics department by February 6th. Students cannot try-out per

AIA without completed paperwork on file in the school Athletic department. If you have any

questions, call 616-6475.

Proud to be the AD!

Ms. Montiel Turner
