Holthaus, Palo Verde grad Stallworth have Pima women's hoops team rolling

Todd Holthaus’ Pima College women’s basketball team continues to be ranked No. 1 in NJCAA Division II as it intensifies ACCAC league play this week with two games. The 6-1 Aztecs are led by sophomore point guard Sydni Stallworth of Palo Verde High. She signed with Division II power Alaska-Anchorage last week, a program that is 69-5 the last two seasons. Anchorage coach Ryan McCarthy said: “To be able to sign a player and person of Sydni’s caliber, to say we are excited is an understatement. Sydni is widely recognized as one of the top point guards in the nation at any level.” McCarthy’s team thinks big. It has already played D-I teams Washington State and Portland this year (losing to both by single digits) and will play in a four-day tournament in Hawaii in mid-December.
