Brody has been a crucial part to this team and had major impacts in both the games against Kellogg and Bonners Ferry. He is always wanting to learn and grow as both a player and a person. I am excited to see how he grows both on and off the court.

Dalton is a kid who loves the game of basketball! He had the opportunity to show his admiration for the game and commitment to the team this last week when we were down a few players due to sickness. Dalton stepped into his role as a player and a true leader and showed us what it looks like to step up when called upon!

Aubree White is the sweetest girl ever. This is her first season participating in cheer and since beginning the season she has grown exponentially. I love watching her boost her teammates' confidence and happiness while improving herself. I am excited to see what the rest of the season has in store.

Dustin came in and immediately took over as a leader on this team. He played a big role in our wins versus St. Maries and Priest River. He is a joy to coach and I am excited to see what the rest of the season holds.

Titus brings a positive,” I can, we can attitude” to the team! He is always attentive in practice, during games, and especially in the huddle, making him a great athlete to Coach. I look forward to working with Titus for the remainder of the season, the sky is the limit with this young man. 

Mikayla has been a superstar to start this season off! I love how her contagious energy spreads to her teammates during running, cheers, and stunts. She will be such a great cheerleader throughout the rest of the season. I can't wait to see her continue spreading her energy and growing!

Sophia was thrust into a starting position due to two broken bone injuries to her fellow teammates, just before the District tournament. Despite the sudden change, Sophia rose to the occasion, playing tenacious defense and taking excellent care of the ball for nearly entire games. Without her exceptional effort, our team would not have been in a position to compete for the District Title. Sophia made her injured teammates, her team, and her coach incredibly proud. Congratulations to her on a truly great season.

Naomi Dirks was thrust into a starting position due to two broken bone injuries to her fellow teammates, just before the District tournament. Despite the sudden change, Naomi rose to the occasion, playing tenacious defense and taking excellent care of the ball for nearly entire games. Without her exceptional effort, our team would not have been in a position to compete for the District Title. Naomi made her injured teammates, her team, and her coach incredibly proud. Congratulations to her on a truly great season.

She has an insatiable work ethic and leads by example. She is an unselfish player who always wants to make the right basketball play. Whether scoring, passing, or playing lockdown defense, KariDee exhibits the heart of a Tiger. She suffered a tough injury at districts, but that didn't stop her from cheering on her teammates and supporting the team. I was so lucky to get to coach her this year.

Zoe has incredible dedication and work ethic. Her tight, precise motions make her stand out during the game and halftime. I love that she takes the initiative to practice at home, constantly improving her skills. Zoe is a dream to coach! She listens attentively and immediately applies corrections, making every practice more productive. I love bouncing ideas off of her. Her enthusiasm and willingness to try new things bring great energy to our team. Keep up the amazing work, Zoe! 

Elly is the unassuming star of our team. She plays with relentless effort, leads quietly, and maintains a consistently positive attitude that uplifts her teammates. Elly's focus is not on personal accolades, but on making those around her better. Her exemplary work ethic and team-first mentality are contagious and inspiring the entire squad. Though she shuns the spotlight, Elly's amazing potential on the basketball court is undeniable. It has been a privilege to coach her over the past two seasons, and I eagerly anticipate witnessing her continued growth and development throughout her high school career.

She embodies the Tiger Grit and always gives her best. Whether filling in for sick teammates or playing through injuries, Gracelynn rises to meet every challenge. She has a fire for competition and a desire to improve. She leads by example through her efforts on the court. Gracelynn is a pleasure to coach and an integral asset to the team.

This girl is phenomenal. I wish I had the opportunity to be her teacher because I would have loved having her energy in my classroom. She has an energy that I think every cheerleader can learn from. She approaches every practice ready to conquer whatever tasks are presented to her. Plus after she has accomplished the task she starts supporting her teammates in such a kind and positive manner. I am excited to keep her on the team for the second part of our cheer season.

Khloe is a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court. Her toughness and tenacity are unparalleled - she leaves everything out on the floor, holding nothing back in each and every game. But what really makes Khloe stand out is her infectious personality. Despite being a fierce competitor, she has a bubbly, sometimes goofy charm that's impossible not to love. It's almost hard to believe that the same player who battles with such intensity is also the life of the team. As her coach, I feel lucky to work with an athlete who plays with so much heart and spirit.

She is the perfect teammate. She is an unselfish teammate who always wants to make the right play. Hailey works incredibly hard to improve. She takes coaching very well and has a desire to improve. She has a great future in basketball if her trajectory holds.

Kamryn is trying new things and getting out of her comfort zone. Her joy is infectious in practice and at our games. I appreciate what she brings to the team! Great job always cheering on your teammates and the girls basketball team.

During practices she is a leader! She leads the girls in their stretches and helps her teammates when they are confused. Her voice can be heard no matter where she is in the squad. She is truly a pleasure to coach!

Lillee is averaging over 10 points per game and is the leader of our team.  She runs the offense, is critical in the execution of our defense and plays with 100% energy when she’s on the court.  She rarely comes out of the game because her leadership is so critical to our success.  Lillee is a pleasure to coach and I look forward to watching her grow over the course of this season.

Gracie is a fierce competitor, with a motor that doesn't stop.  She plays intense defense, isn't afraid to get physical with her opponents and is smart with the basketball.  She is a great team player and a pleasure to coach.

She has worked incredibly hard to improve and learn the game of basketball. Her positive attitude makes her a pleasure to coach. She scored 8 points in our latest game and shared that "it's crazy how good it feels to see the ball go through the hoop."

It's her first year cheering and she is absolutely killing it. Her energy and good attitude is infectious. During our first two game days, every time I looked at her  she had the biggest smile on her face!  I'm excited to see what the rest of the season has in store for her.
