2011-12 Season in Review

The summer season officially ended on Saturday at the University of Washington team camp. Before that our teams competed in the highly competitive Southridge, Prairie and Oregon City tournaments. All told the team played approximately 20 games and learned a great deal about itself. Without question the team has a lot of work to do before the real season. At the same time their are many quality basketball players that provide excellent hope for the coming season. After losing Sydney Allen, Tatum Schroeder and Jenka Stiasna their will be many doubters for sure. To the coaches and players that's fine. Our response: Keep doubting us! See you in November!

This summer promises to be the same as we continue to seek out playing the best possible teams. See you on the court!
