This year the girls have been practicing during the offseason and getting ready for their big 19 game season ahead of them.

Coached by none other than Coach Kelley the girls are very excited to get things started. Quote from senior Lamia Ashley “Coach Kelley has been pushing us to be the best versions of ourselves to get far along in our season”. Coach Kelley became head coach for the Lady Bears in 2020 and the girls love him as their head coach every year. We always have very talented girls and great athletes.

Captain Lamia Ashley had some things to say about the season, “We practice everyday, every chance we get that we aren’t in school we’re playing basketball to improve our game. Whether its just its skill work, shooting ,defense, or even just talking to build up our confidence.”

We also asked her what are some of the teams goals for the season as well as their biggest improvement from last year until now. Lamia Ashley – “We want to become a family, increase our confidence, and our basketball IQ, to win FCIACS and states. We are much more of a team this year mentally and physically. We understand each other on and off the court, we aren’t only teammates but best friends too. We know our composition and how to win, now we just have to show it”.
