WILDFIRE WIN CHAMPIONSHIP AT WILCOX
The Wildfire's string of great basketball continued the last week of July, as the team competed in and won the Championship at the Wilcox Late Night Basketball Tournament.
The team won their 3 games, and received a huge trophy for their efforts. Sylvia Rico was tournament MVP, and Shuntrell Hayes made the All-Tournament team. However, it was a nice team effort and all the players should be congratulated on a great win.

WILDFIRE WIN CESAR CHAVEZ TOURNAMENT
It was a great weekend for the Wildfire. The 13s team defeated the Lady Hoopers to take the Cesar Chavez Tournament Championship! Shuntrell Hayes was tournament MVP and Leslie Tademy made the All=Tournament team.
The 12s team played in their first tournament with nice results. They made it to the Championship game in their first court appearance. This team is filled with young players, who will just improve as time goes on. That's how it was with the 13s team, that's how it will be with this team.
Congratulations to both Wildfire teams.

Considering the amount of time the team has been together, it was an outstanding effore. Way to go, Wildfire!
