I have decided to step away from high school coaching. I’ve reached a point in my career where I know my worth, and I only want to be in environments that align with my values, where coaches are supported, and athletes are empowered and motivated.

Putting it all into perspective🩵Basketball, like life, is a series of ups and downs. Success should never be measured through wins and losses, because it is about so much more. Grateful for this game that has given me the opportunities and brought incredible people into my life

Happy National Girls and Women in Sports Day 🏀 So thankful for what the sport has done for me, the opportunities it has always provided me and the relationships I have been able to form and maintain. “Here’s to strong women… May we know them, may we be them, may we raise them.”

6’2 Freshman really stepping up lately… super skilled, fundamentally sound player who is only just getting started!
🚨DOUBLE-DOUBLE ALERT🚨 in last night’s win over Newton, freshman Brooke Shust registered her first career double-double with ten rebounds and ten blocks. Brooke was just two points away from a triple-double, ending with 8 points! Filling up the stat sheet!

Today we remember and honor those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedies. We had a moment of silence, observed the flag at half-staff and did different activities including our memorial ribbons that we hung outside of the classroom. We will never forget 🇺🇸 @Dr_Lazzara
