Goals/outlook for the season: Our goals this season consist of competing in every game and bringing all the lessons we've learned over the last two seasons together to amplify our ambitions. We have had some turnover but it has helped to trim the fat a bit and I am really excited with the girls we have going into this season. We have a young talented group and the coaches and I are sure we will be able to compete with the best of them this year.”

Players to watch:Shylah McCleve is definitely a player to watch. Now going into her junior year she has been a force for the team consistently and was able to clinch league honorable mention last year and was recognized as one of the top 70 players of the class of 2025. We are very excited to see what she will accomplish this season! Erynn Bond and Kiera Martinez have also been showing major improvements and have begun to come into their own as young guards in the league. We also have a few young players who are coming in as freshmen who will have the opportunity to play at the varsity level and start gaining the experience needed to competitively play in this rigorous league.
