ATHLETICS
Tiger Pride
First of all, TIGER PRIDE!
Marana Athletic News
The Culture, Commitment and Competitiveness philosophy
is strong and vibrant on our courts, fields, and mats.
We had a great week in Marana Athletics. Our lady Tigers basketball team beat Ironwood
Ridge which is a huge win for their venture to the State playoffs. The lady Tiger soccer
players had two big wins against Mountain View and Casa Grande. Our young ladies are
definitely showing their tenacity to gain those W’s for their programs.
The men’s soccer team has made big gains this year and brought home another W against
Casa Grande. These boys have been committed as a team to be more competitive which
can be seen on the field. Travis Howard was the 220 weight Champion at the Flowing
Wells Wrestling Tournament, which is one of the biggest and toughest tournaments in
Arizona. We have a strong wrestling team that continues to grow, train and prepare for
the Sectionals Tournament in a few weeks.
REMINDER: Spring try outs begin February 9th. If your student is planning to try out for
baseball, softball, track, men’s volleyball, or tennis he/she must have all their completed
paperwork turned into the Athletics department by February 6th. Students cannot try out
per AIA without completed paperwork in the school athletic department. If you have any
questions, call 616-6475.
I look forward to another great week in Tiger Pride Athletics. We would love to see you at
our games to support our Tigers!
Honored to be the AD, Monika Montiel Turner TIGER PRIDE Athlete of the Week – PERSISTENT
These Tigers have proven to have to be PERSISTENT through their actions, commitment and character on
and off the field, court and mat.
