Remember Raven Wrestlers, no matter where you go in life, Raven mania will never die!
Girls Basketball: The Spokane Garry girls basketball finished a strong season of victories as well as personal and athletic growth. What began as a group of girls learning the game transformed into a triumphant group of athletes who competed as a team.
Ashley Richards, Aubrie Lowman, and Sierra Graf led the way with strong defense, high scoring output, and dynamic gameplay. But without the exceptional off-ball movement of Sherlynn Cruz, Yasmin Lopez, and Elizabeth Hoffman, the offense would not have been as affective.
Alicia Umana received the Spokane Garry Spirit Award for consistently demonstrating joy in the game and a desire to learn. Adelina Knop was awarded the Most Improved Player for growing exponentially in decision making and dribbling. Defensive Player of the Year was awarded to Sierra Graf, who provided 20+ blocks on the season. Offensive player of the Year was awarded to Aubrie Lowman for consistently lighting up the scoreboard. Yasmin Lopez was awarded the 6th Woman Award for helping to center the offense. This year’s MVP was Ashley Richards, who provided consistent play night in and night out. Every player on the team did an exceptional job and received honors for their improvement throughout the season.
Boys Basketball: The 8th grade boys JV basketball team had a terrific season. The boys worked super hard to learn and improve their skills and had many 6:50am morning practices. This is a great sacrifice that the boys and their families made all season.
The team’s skills improved significantly in defense, rebounding, passing, and most of all, running the fast break. The team ran an up-tempo offense that overwhelmed the other teams. Some performance highlights include:
Aareel Washington who ran the team with his dazzling array of passes leading to easy baskets for his teammates. This earned him the nickname of “Dimes."
Tony Orozco was our leading rebounder, shot blocker, and scorer all season. He was our anchor, keeping our team competitive in every game and leading us to victory in 5 games.
Our Most Improved Player was Joseph Thompson, who showed tremendous growth both on the court and in the classroom. He was a big contributor to our success.
Finally, Graham Nesbitt was instrumental with his speed and scoring ability. He made big improvements to his point guard skills over the course of the season.
Congratulations on a great season. It was a pleasure to coach all of the boys. Other notable contributions to our success were:
Aidan Adsit - rebounding and defensive specialist.
Kolby Epler - steady/calming hand during the games.
Ignacio Guzman - became a big contributor as the season progressed.
Dallas Lyman - Mr. Layin – shot about 95% when he was around the basket.
LeBron Smith - provided a big spark as he joined in the last 5 games of the season.
Adin Wimmer - huge improvement over the season.
