Stu Oberg
Having a bunch of new faces this year; Coach Oberg did a great job with this
group to compile a 30-18 record, winning 2 events along with 4 second place
finishes. They competed in 4-NCAA exposure events, their Annual IndianaKentucky All Star game, trips to Lexington, Louisville, Nashville, Indianapolis
and two Mid America Youth Basketball Events. They played with a ton of heart
and determination that always kept them competitive! Next year this group loses
at least 5 players and will be looking to pick up several new players. Interested
players should contact [email protected] right away so coaches can come
watch you play several times before our spring tryouts

Maybe the biggest surprise within the program, this group played up 1 or 2
divisions most of the time and still finished with a 25-10 record! Winning 3
events: including MIDWEST YOUTH TOURNAMENT NATIONS, Reebok
Challenge in St. Louis, and National Club Challenge in Indianapolis. Team
also competed in Mohr Magic Classic in Fishers, Governor’s Cup and
YBOA State Championships in Nashville, Memorial Day Wildcat Open in
Lexington and local MAYB (playing in HS Open Division). Team will
expand tournament schedule to include some July NCAA Exposure events
next year. No determination has been made at this time on if the team will
split in separate aged teams for next year. GREAT JOB LADIES!!!!

This first year team found great early success but quickly found out how tough it
is to play up as the season progressed. (Successful teams are always forced to
play up to be challenged by bigger stronger and old kids). Finishing the year with
a 28-27 record may seem a bit below our standard, but it’s not all about the
wins/loses. It’s really all about making all the kids better which definitely
occurred on this group of girls. They learned to battle thru adversity, adjust to
new roles for many of them, and got to see what real travel basketball is all about.
Look for all these girls to excel on next year’s school teams and many to return to
the program again next year as they want to continue to get better

Early season training sessions sure made an enormous difference for this
group! Finishing up with an impressive 38-14 record winning 3 events,
undefeated in spring league, and helping the program win their second
NATIONAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP on the girl’s side! Events
included trips to Edwardsville, IL, Indianapolis, Nashville, Lexington, 2
Louisville events, and 3 area events in which they played up. We will
be excited to see many of these girls back to continue to work hard and
improve their skills by competing against top talent from around the
Midwest
