ATHLETICS
Tiger Pride
First of all, TIGER PRIDE!
Marana Athletic News
Our Student Athletic Trainers participated in the annual HOSA competition for Marana High School
this weekend with over 100 participants from other high school throughout Arizona. Our
outstanding Tiger Pride Student Athletic Trainers did a great job representing Marana Athletics
with Reilly McGuire taking 1st, Makalya Rascon taking 6th, Morgan O’Connell taking 7th and
Garret Gillespie taking 8th. Great job to those medical assistants who “Run This Bench” for
Marana Athletics! TIGER PRIDE!
Marana Athletics is honored to recognize Cisco Uriarte with a special award called the
MaxPreps and The National Soccer Coaches Association of America Player of the Week. The
award was created to promote high school soccer and highlight the accomplishments of the nearly
800,000 student-athletes participating in soccer annually through-out the nation. In the State of
Arizona, only 8 male players will win this award annually. Cisco Uriarte was selected as the
Player of the Week for the week of December 8, 2014, for the State of Arizona. During that week,
Cisco scored a total of 8 goals in two games won by Marana. Way to go Cisco…TIGER PRIDE!
Several wins this week in Tiger Pride Athletics against some fierce competition who caused us to
struggle last year. In soccer, the Lady Tigers were hungry and brought home the W’s against
Maricopa and Flowing Wells. Our men’s soccer team worked hard against Maricopa but fell short
by a goal in the final minutes of the game. Men’s basketball continues to show improvement and
progress with every game by decreasing point spreads and showing excellent effort. Wrestling
“Tiger Style” fell short against Mountain View yet conquered over Rincon. Ladies Basketball has
continued to work extremely well as a team and gained a few more W’s this week on their journey
to the play-offs and State competition. We encourage you to come out and watch our Tigers
change the Culture, show their Commitment and become more Competitive!
REMINDER: Spring try outs begin February 9th. If your student is planning to try out for baseball,
softball, track, men’s volleyball, or tennis must have all completed paperwork 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.
Proud to be the AD! TIGER PRIDE! Ms. Montiel Turner
