Forever proud of this young lady!! Thank you for being loyal, for trusting in us, and for being YOU. So incredibly blessed to know you, and to watch you grow. Cannot wait to continue to follow this next chapter of your book. Forever family!!! 🅰️🅰️🅰️

The end of an AAU season is always hard for me. Every week was a new page of a variety of things: - Learning about these kids everyday lives, - Finding new ways to develop relationships and trust, - Defining adversity and finding ways to get out of it together, - Seeing new friendships form, - Seeing a place we call home grow more w/ passion, love, care, and maturity. There’s a lot more to be said but for now, I’ll keep it with just those. As a chapter ends for a lot of these 2025’s in the AAU world, I hope this chapter showed them that it’s more than just ‘AAU’. It’s bigger than that. I hope they know how much they are loved for, cared for, and see how badly the will to see them succeed on and off the court, trumps all other things. We built a lot this year, they helped build the blueprint that those who walked before them left, and those who will walk after them will follow. It’s a hard end to a chapter when you care so much about each individual person. Because when you turn the page, it’s not just a new page… it’s a new book. A book where you have to build it all again just like they did. Day by day; week by week; story by story; chapter by chapter. Maybe some see it differently in this ‘section’ of basketball, but when FAMILY has a real meaning in this place, it allows you to feel it that much more. 25’s, you are forever family. You left this place better than you found it. You helped grow our name. You helped define who we are. Never change. Proud is an understatement. Can’t wait to see the next chapter for all of you. No matter what it is, and what you do, we will be there. For a final time… Family On 3. 🅰️

Bounce back win over Riverside Hawks. Gritty come from behind win w/ Reese Carlo huge 3 pointer at one point, followed by Meg Raefski’s game winning 3 to put us ahead. Great effort by our girls. Back at it tonight! 🅰️

Man… look at scores if you want, but these girls worked their absolute tails off. 20+ coaches vs a well coached, impressive @ShoreshotsGirls squad. A program I’ve always been fond of. Never stopped competing. Not a girl over 6’0 and battled vs multiple 6’1+ girls. Love these girls, and just forever proud of what they do. FIGHT was the word on the back of the clipboard today, and that’s what we did. 🅰️

Meg Raefski (2025, Pleasantville) was on a mission!!! Knock down shooter, in front of many coaches, showcased her ability to shoot off the catch, off the bounce, but also get herself downhill. So proud of this young lady and the great July period part 1 she had. Cannot wait to see it again this weekend! Let’s go!! 📈🅰️
