Gift from the squad 👟 Per the girls, my 'drip' will now be 'on point'. So I've got that going for me.

2023-24 Season: 19-14 (4-2) This group was an absolute blast, they made every day in the gym fun. And... they could play a little basketball! Thank you seniors! You both gave more than your share to this program and I'll always be grateful to have been your coach.

Empowered women empower women. Happy International Women's Day!

Good luck to our 8th Grade Lady Royals in the Junior Ten Tournament this week! 🏀 🏆

Congratulations, Anna Herrmann!! 2023-24 IBCA All-State 3rd Team

Full gamut of hoops today! Watched our 7th graders in action. (Junior Ten Tournament Champs!) Caught a former Lady Royal playing at the next level. (She had a big game, had 19 when I had to go.) Then finally saw our 3rd/4th graders pick up another Royal victory! 🏀💙

Congratulations to Anna Herrmann, Raven Wagner and Sami Carlino on being selected to the 2023-24 Little Ten All-Conference Team! *First time since 2011 that we've had 3 players selected in the same season.

Had a 7-8 point lead in the 3rd. We had em on the ropes, felt the knockout blow coming. But foul trouble cost us. Serena took advantage, brought the heat with their press and we couldn't hold em off. Fantastic basketball game. Eventually, fell 49-38. Proud. So, so proud.

Come a long way since June, and tourney time is when we shine. HBR vs Serena, 6:00 pm at Earlville. #StandOnBusiness
