Here is the coaches perspective on where we are at this season.

In-spite of setbacks with the weather, crazy schedules, and lack of practices the girls have been coming along and are making good headway.  The thing that is most exciting to us, as coaches, is the fact that girls are stepping up and making things happen.  We have had a little bit of cherry basket upset with playing time because of players stepping up and getting after it.  The last two games we had major personnel changes in the fourth quarter and those girls doubled the whole teams score in one quarter!!  That is so awesome.  There is no doubt there is a competitive nature developing on the basketball floor and I have a good time watching the girls hoot and holler a bit when good things happen. That is the joy of playing coming out!
Freshman and JV teams are doing fabulously!  Very solid, coachable, and confidence is growing all the time.  
Thanks to everyone who has been such a big support for the team.  We hope you enjoy watching the growth happen.  We will no doubt continue to develop and become more and more competitive.  Hopefully, our having fun as a team will come across to the crowd so you can enjoy your basketball watching even more!  Wins are on the horizon for sure!

Girls, thank you for the time you are putting into basketball, and the care you are putting in the team.  Remember the bottom line is to be as strong of a team as we can be.  Being a strong team means effort, discipline, selflessness, and sacrifice.  It's hard sometimes.  It's frustrating sometimes, but in the end when you are looking back, hopefully you will see the whole picture and know that you were a part of something special and unique, the journey will mean that much more.
