They fought back after losing their first bracket game on Saturday and were able to regain a winning position which enabled them to compete for first place. 

The Stix 10U White team demonstrated excellent sportsmanship and tenacity throughout the entire tournament.  They placed second out of 13 teams in the tournament and received a team trophy as well as individual trophies.  After the game, Coach Rey Chapa was quoted saying, “The girls played with all of their hearts, you can’t ask for more than that!”
