The meeting length will be no longer than 10 minutes, and parents are encouraged to attend.

Big Wins!Hello everyone,
Let me start of by saying, wow. That was a fun game! The grit and determination the girls showed was awesome. And the crowd was amazing, the jump rope kids and our rocket buddies starting chats and getting loud was great. The noise in the gym was a great benefit to us. There were times the players on the court couldn't hear anything from the sideline because of the excitement from the crowd. The win puts us at 3-4 in the conference and 7-10 overall.
Friday was our second 3 game sweep in a row! The teams are really playing hard in practice and it is carrying over to our games. The C-team is moving the ball very well and creating a lot of turnovers. The JV is really starting to click and their physical play and toughness got them the win on Friday.
Coach Melchert update, he will be back this week. Our next game is Thursday against BBE in BBE.
Coach Carr Pierz on Friday Hello All!
I just wanted to say thanks for coming out and supporting us against Kimball last night. It was a great team victory, and I am proud of how the girls kept battling after a cold start shooting. Shooting for any team will be up and down, but one thing that is always in our control is our defensive effort. That is what will keep us in basketball games regardless of how we are shooting.
Congrats to our C-team and JV as well. It was so much fun coaching the C-team, and seeing them come together for a big victory; especially down the stretch when all I could hear was cheers from either our C-team fans or JV fans. It was a lot of fun to see and hear!
We have another great test coming up on Friday night against Pierz. Pierz got us by 7 points up at their place in the first conference game of the year. They are sitting at 4-2 in conference play, while our win against Kimball puts us at 2-4 in conference standings.
See you all on Friday for another great night of Basketball!
