TORNADO ANGELS - An all-ladies team consisting of five main players IronLady, LadyViolet, Shenz, Fisha, and Lil' Devil, the team was formed on Oct 15 this year. They have been out training every week since for the WCA. Their first stint was the National Paintball League just to gather experience for the bigger tournament. IronLady, the captain of the team, has three years experience and is part of X-Fox, another local group team. IronLady was provided the sponsorship to form a ladies team and that was how she came up with Tornado Angels. They will be competing in the All-Ladies Division and hope to learn from the other teams. The team is new but has pledged to do their best and to at least put on a good show for WCA.
