It may have started on a street in Kihei when this two year-old threw an epic fit about surfing with her brothers instead of staying on the beach. The Wolverinas were created years later for a similar reason. I never played favorites, but I always had a favorite. @KoraKipley ❤️
Nine years together on the only AAU team that they have ever played for. So rare. So awesome. So many memories.

Congratulations to the Wolverinas @mollyoriordan35 on signing her National Letter of Intent to continue her basketball career with @DaytonWBB! Hard work is undefeated!
Wolverinas finish the summer on a high note with an outstanding performance at both ends of the court. Incredibly proud of each of them. They have accomplished a tremendous amount together. Hard work is undefeated!
Impressive highlight from today’s championship win at @niketoc. @katyeidle blocks the opponent’s halftime buzzer-beater attempt, recovers the ball and drills a half-court buzzer-beater of her own…..on one leg!!!
Congratulations to Wolverinas junior @katyeidle on being named the Illinois Gatorade Player of the Year! An incredibly prestigious award that is well-deserved. We could not be more proud of her. playeroftheyear.gatorade.com…
@katyeidle had a chance to try to send the game to overtime with two free throws with six seconds to play and instead opted to end it in regulation with a buzzer-beating three-pointer!

That wraps it up! It took a while, but we finally got together for the final team party. Incredibly optimistic about the future and excited to see what it holds for this group. Going to rewind things over the next few weeks to truly put on a bow on the past decade!
This wraps up 2020 and year seven for the Wolverinas. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to coach them. The relentless work ethic is inspirational. Great personalities and camaraderie make this unique group immensely fun to be around. Looking forward to the next chapter in 2021!
Ten years with these two! What an incredible run. It has been a fantastic experience spending a decade on basketball courts around the country with @miabergstrom9 and @bergstrom_lucy. Great memories that will last a lifetime.
Unbelievably cool moment for @Brooke_blume! This past Friday the Chicago Bulls recognized her during halftime of their game for everything she has accomplished on the court while overcoming two ACL surgeries. Awesome and well-deserved!

Thanks a ton for recognizing @joybergstrom_. Her scoring speaks for itself. She contributes to our team in so many different ways; leading with relentless competitive intensity immediately comes to mind.
Signing day for four OG Wolverinas before their final run with @HerseyGirlHoops and they head off to do amazing things in college. Incredibly proud and amazed at how they’ve grown up since they got together in 3rd grade. @megmrowicki2023 @katyeidle@KelseyNeary@sabrinadivito23

It has been a pleasure. The emotional roller coaster continues as the class of 2023 chapter comes to a close. When naming a team back in 2014 comprised largely of eight year-old girls I never imagined that I was actually coaching a Wolverine. Go Blue!
Thank you Chris @wolverinasbb and Lucy @bergstrom_lucy for everything these past 9 years together. All love for my second family, always.😁 And like a wise man once said, hard work is undefeated!💗
Congratulations to the Wolverinas @Emily_fisher3 on becoming the all-time leading scorer at @Lvillegbb! An accomplishment that is all the more impressive given that Emily has always been a pass first guard!
On Monday Emily Fisher became the leading career scoring leader in Libertyville history with 1,172 points - surpassing the old mark of 1,156 held by Lydia Crow. Still more games to go! Congratulations, Emily! 🏀👏👏
