Captains
 Ashley
Dennis
Ashley is a 6’0 junior guard and a first time team captain. She is a vital piece to this year’s team as she was our leading scorer and second leading rebounder last year. She has the ability at 6’0 to post you up on the block and go either way with a multitude of moves, take you out on the perimeter and shoot the tri-fecta or get to the rack off the bounce and pull a jumper in your face. Although injured for a majority of last year, she had an exceptional summer and has proven she is ready to go this season. She brings a workers attitude, competitive spirit and a strong desire to excel and improve everyday. She has quickness, can run the floor and can take over a game when needed. Her versatility on the defensive end being able to guard the post, be a lock down defender on the perimeter or just rebound the basketball will help lead us to our goals. She leads by example and will do whatever is needed to win. Last year, she was named 2nd team Mid State League and Central District and during her freshman year was named first team all league.
|
 Monica
Gustin
Monica, a 5’8 senior guard will
be a four-year Varsity Letter winner and a first year team captain.
She understands the game extremely well, has great vision and
court awareness. We have a saying that if you’re open and in scoring
position, Monica is going to find you. She will run the show this
year from the point guard position like she did as a freshman.
Her ability to control a game, maintain our team’s composure,
call the right play, do the right thing given the time and situation
or take over a game is a huge reason for the high expectations
we have for this season. She is deadly as a shooter and especially
from downtown. She is a career 35% shooter from behind the arc
and has set numerous school records for her long distance range.
Not only can she drop 6-7 three pointers on you in a game, but
she can put the ball on the floor and get into the lane for a
smooth jumper or make the perfect pass for a backdoor lay-up.
She had an exceptional summer on the floor and demonstrated the
passion and heart needed to be successful this season. Her experience
and knowledge of being on past championship teams will also play
a big part towards our team’s success.
|
 Alex
Pammer
Alex, a 5’7 senior guard is a first time captain. She is well respected among her peers and gives all that she has every game. Alex brings the three E’s to our program, energy, excitement and enthusiasm. She has great leadership qualities, is one of the more enjoyable kids on our team and is always smiling and trying to help others out. She is the ultimate team player and competitor. Alex has a killer crossover like no one I have ever seen. It is very low and quick and gets her into the lane whenever she wants. She can shoot the 3 or beat you off the dribble with this killer crossover. Don’t reach for it thinking you got a steal because whoop, she just crossed you up and blew by you. She also had a great summer and became more consistent from long range. Her blue-collar attitude, willingness to do whatever you ask and her understanding of team camaraderie and togetherness will be a big key to our success this year.

OUR
ATHLETE
Our
athlete is spirit drenched in sweat, sacrifice in sneakers, heart
pounding at the end of a hard practice, dedication with dirt on her chin
and loyalty with a smile on her face.
The athlete is a wondrous being.
You may dislike her personality, but you have to admire her
performance. You may doubt
her capabilities, but never her courage.
You may question her efficiency, but never her effort.
She is the epitome of Americanism and sportsmanship.
You might be able to defeat her but you’ll
never be able to make her quit!
