💙 Wrapping Up an Incredible Spring & Looking Ahead to Fall!
This spring season was a special one for our Lady Blue Devils family. We challenged ourselves with a full schedule of tournaments and showcases, and each game helped us grow, learn, and come together as a team.
🏀 Overall Record
We finished the spring with a strong 14–11 record, playing 25 games against a variety of talented opponents.
What makes this even more impressive is how far we’ve come in just one year — after finishing our very first season last summer/fall with a 12–17 record, this spring showed clear growth in confidence, skills, and overall team chemistry. Our girls' hard work, commitment, and willingness to learn continue to shine through each game.
🏆 Tournament Highlights
Our girls earned key wins across several events, including:
State 2 State Tournament (2–0 record)
FFB Ballers (including an exciting overtime victory)
Midvalley Premier (2–0 with strong team performances)
Wine Country Fest (two dominant wins showing our offensive growth)
Bay Area Hoop Community events (undefeated record)
GSG Hoops (a great win and competitive battles)
These tournaments highlighted our progress as a team and showed how far we've come since the start of the season.
💪 Strong Offensive Performances
Throughout the spring, we saw major strides on offense. Games where we scored over 30 points showcased our ability to share the ball, play together, and create opportunities for everyone on the floor.
⭐ Key Contributors
We had incredible contributions from every player this spring:
Harmony was a consistent force, leading the team with an impressive average of over 10 points per game. Her ability to score in a variety of ways and set the tone for the team was a huge part of our success.
Leila delivered some of the season’s biggest single-game performances, including a standout 20-point game, and was a steady presence on both ends of the court all spring.
Joslyn stepped up as a reliable scorer and playmaker, showing confidence and composure in key moments.
Tatum, Olivia, Leia, Jo Jo, and the entire roster each embraced their roles, contributing big plays, defensive stops, and energy that helped carry us through tough matchups.
It was inspiring to watch players support each other and take turns stepping into big moments throughout the season.
🔎 Growth & Focus Areas
Alongside our successes, we faced tough challenges against strong competition — opportunities that pushed us to grow even more. We identified key areas to continue focusing on:
Consistency against higher-level teams: Staying confident and composed under pressure.
Scoring depth: Continuing to develop more options so every player feels ready to step up.
Ball security and defense: Improving ball handling and tightening defensive rotations to stay strong against aggressive opponents.
Every game was a learning opportunity, and the growth we saw from start to finish was incredible.
📈 Season Trends
One of the most exciting trends this spring was the steady improvement in our offensive production and team balance. As the season progressed, more players contributed, and our team chemistry grew stronger each week.
It was also great to see Mallory, Macie, and Mary build confidence and become more comfortable stepping into games and making plays. Their development added important depth to our roster and showed just how bright our future is as a program.
We also continued to grow as a team community, welcoming new faces and creating an environment where everyone can learn, compete, and have fun.
