🏆Heart. Grit. Rings. The Copper Queens Reign Supreme! 🏆

This past weekend (2/20-2/22), the 12U Copper Queens — representing Southern Arizona as the Tucson Renegades — traveled to El Paso, Texas and brought home the Championship title at the Southwest Showdown All Star Showcase! 💙

In a competitive four-team 12U division, these young athletes played an incredible five games in just two days — and their performance was nothing short of dominant.

📍 Game 1: Defeated El Paso, 43-0
📍 Game 2: Defeated South New Mexico, 83-0
📍 Game 3: Faced El Paso 14U, fell 34-18
📍 Game 4: Defeated El Paso 12U, 63-0
📍 Game 5 (Championship): Defeated South Colorado, 38-0

From the first whistle to the final snap, these girls played with heart, grit, discipline, and relentless teamwork. Their energy on the field was matched only by the way they carried themselves off it — representing Southern Arizona with pride every step of the way.

Rings earned. Trophy secured. Memories made.

And they’re not done yet. The Copper Queens will now compete in the Arizona Cardinals Regional Tournament on March 14 in Phoenix as they continue their journey in the NFL regionals.

El Paso — we’ll see you again!

🔥 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 🔥

The City of Sierra Vista has announced that controlled burns will begin Tuesday, February 24, at the Environmental Operations Park.

Starting Tuesday and continuing for several weeks (weather permitting), the City’s Public Works Department will conduct weekday controlled burns at the Environmental Operations Park (EOP), located at 6801 Highway 90 in Sierra Vista.

What to Expect:
• Burns will take place on weekdays
• Operations begin in the morning and typically conclude by noon
• Schedules are weather-dependent
• Daily updates will be posted on the City’s Facebook page on mornings when burns are planned

These burns are part of routine annual maintenance for the City’s wastewater treatment facility. According to the City, the controlled burns help:
✔️ Reduce mosquito populations
✔️ Clear dying vegetation to promote healthy new growth
✔️ Aerate soil ahead of spring

Residents on the east side of Sierra Vista may see smoke that could be visible from several miles away. Officials emphasize this is planned activity and not an emergency situation.

AMERICAN PRIDE🇺🇲OLYMPIC 2026 PHOTO THAT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY🥇24- year old Jack Hughes scores the winning goal in OT for team USA Sunday as he loses a tooth in the process. All this came on the very same day 46 years ago today team USA won the Miracle On Ice game electrifying a nation in 1980.

🇺🇸 Team USA made history: 🥇 12 Gold Medals — a NEW all-time record for the winter olympics (breaking the previous record of 11)
🏅 33 Total Medals — 2nd overall

📊 Early viewership data showed a 93% increase over the Beijing Games, helped by a more favorable European time zone. Yet social platforms didn’t seem to light up the way they usually do.

One possible reason? Audience behavior is shifting: 📱 Under-35 viewers are moving away from multi-week event engagement
🎬 Short-form, fast content is replacing long viewing windows

👥 According to sproutsocial.com 61% + of ALL social media users are Gen Z (30%) and ages 25–35 (31.6%), which may explain the lower long-form Olympic chatter.

🥇 Team USA Gold Medal Highlights Included:
• Men’s Ice Hockey — Gold medal overtime victory
• Women’s Ice Hockey — Gold medal win
• Men’s 1000m & 500m Speed Skating (2 Golds)
• Slalom & Alpine Combined (2 Golds)
• Women’s Figure Skating
• Mixed Team Aerials — Gold medal
• Team Figure Skating — Gold medal
• Breezy Johnson: Womens Downhill Skiing
• Elizabeth Lemley: Women's ski moguls.
• Alex Ferreira: Men's ski halfpipe.
• Elana Meyers Taylor: Women's monobob.
