(Tucson, AZ) The Tucson Sugar Skulls return to the Tucson Arena this Saturday, May 2, for Star Wars Night, taking on the San Antonio Gunslingers. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m., with doors opening at 5 p.m.
The night will feature a special appearance by University of Arizona men’s basketball head coach Tommy Lloyd, who will serve as an honorary captain alongside members of his coaching staff, adding to one of the season’s most anticipated game-day experiences. The Sugar Skulls will also debut two key roster additions.

Offensive Player of the Week honors. Defensive back Charles “Chucky” Williams, from the University of Louisville, is a proven playmaker with more than 200 career tackles, highlighted by a senior season with 74 tackles and three interceptions.
“We’re excited to welcome Tasleem ‘Taz’ Wilson and Chucky Williams to the Sugar Skulls organization,” said Edmund Marquez, Team President.
“Both bring valuable experience, strong leadership, and a high level of play that will strengthen our team on and off the field.”
Fans can expect a full-themed experience, including a performance of the national anthem by the Tucson Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet and Percussion.
