Pink Storm Crowned Tournament Champions

The shape of the run tells the story. The Pink Storm scored 10 points per game while holding opponents to just 6. That kind of margin came from a steady, grinding effort, where defense set the tone and every basket mattered. Across three games, the points came in small, hard-earned pieces, and the team kept finding ways to come out ahead.

This was a true team effort. Sloan Kile led the way with 20 points across the three games, the clear engine of the offense. But she had help. Gianna Bond added 4 points, while Alice Dewitt and Brylee Carreon each chipped in 2. Madyn Merkel added a point of her own. Every name on that list helped put points on the board.

The honors followed the work. Sloan Kile was named Tournament MVP, a fitting reward for leading the scoring all weekend. She joined Gianna Bond on the All-Tournament team, recognition that two of these players stood out among the very best in the field.

A title like this does not happen without the full roster. Ainsley Arruda appeared in all 3 games. So did Alina Tarango, who suited up for every game. Chandler Merkel was there for all 3, and Eliana Cervantes played in each one as well. Kai'lynn Askins appeared in all 3 games, as did Lucy Pingleton and Macy Dewitt. Each of them showed up, game after game, and was part of a champion roster.

Congratulations to the Pink Storm. A perfect record, a defense that gave nothing away, and a team that did it together. This is a championship to be proud of, and one this group will remember for a long time."}
