KRISTIE STEVENS TO COACH TENNIS FOR TANQUE VERDE
Former Catalina Foothills tennis coach Kristie Stevens is set to coach Tanque Verde this spring. Stevens started the Falcon program and she led the program to 15 state championships and three runner-up finishes between 2000 and 2019. The streak also includes nine singles championships and 11 doubles championships.
Stevens moved over to serve as the athletic director at Ironwood Ridge in 2020 and she is now the Director of Communications for the Tanque Verde Unified School District.
ONE-AND-ONE FREE THROWS ELIMINATED
High school basketball teams will shoot two free throws for common fouls when in the “bonus.” This change to Rule 4-8-1 eliminates the one-and-one scenario and sets new foul limits each quarter for awarding the bonus free throw.
Teams will reach the bonus when their opponent commits five fouls in each quarter and team fouls will reset at the end of each quarter. Previously, teams were awarded the one-and-one bonus when their opponents committed seven fouls in a half and two foul shots when 10 fouls were committed each half
