Girls Basketball:

The Lady Trailblazers had a very exciting first year for Varsity Girls Basketball.
We finished the season with a 16-9 record.  We had a very young and inexperienced team that came together as the season progressed.  New friendships were made and each girl contributed to our successful season.  The coming season looks very promising as most of our last years team will be returning along with some very good rising middle school players as well as other new faces.
Our hopes for this season are to continue to become better basketball players through hard work and practice.  Our desire is also to continue to glorify the Lord in our performance on  and off the court as we have many opportunities to see God work in each of us through the great game of basketball.
If you are interested in playing or learning more about our Varsity Girls program, please feel free to contact me.
