Morton Tournament CHAMPIONS ๐ฅPlayed quality teams, faced adversity, got down, got up, rallied together, bonded as a squad and came out with the trophy!

Last night SIUE commit

etched her name in the history books with her 1000th career point celebration โผ๏ธ Congratulations, we are so proud of youโผ๏ธ๐ฅถ
Don't sleep on these 2A teams in Southern Illinois- they are GOOD ๐ฅ
This area is more dominated by quality schools from lower divisions than up north due to the average size of schools here- talent has nothing to do with it.
Big night against Whitney Young from 2026
@Kaylea_Lacey
100% from 3pt line, 75% from free throw, defensive nat, high motor kid that proved she can make big plays in big games, knocking down the game winning free throw to keep her team undefeated!
To really know
@lewficial
is to know that her dream has always been to play overseas. We could not be more proud of you for manifesting exactly what you wanted out of your basketball career!! Good luck in Rome but first we have some unfinished business!!
@RomeCityInst
Incredibly honored to be recognized by the IBCA back to back seasons!
63-5 over the last two seasons is nothing to hang our heads over. Birds will be back and flying high soon ๐ฅ
Coming for 100 wins- it's the only personal goal I ever set as a first time Head coach and I'm grateful and blessed Alton gave me my first opportunity! I'm also grateful and blessed my girls and their families believed in me enough to buy in and trust the process ๐ฅ
Would like to Hi-Light our Head Girls' Basketball Coach Deserea Howard. Coach Howard is in her 5th year a top the Lady Redbirds in ATown & has a 76-46 record. She has made a total transformation of this program. Thanks for all you do!

Some raw ๐ฅ of 2026 W
Kaylea Lacey ( Alton HS ) continuing to make a push for why sheโs one of the best players in her class.
Kaylea just has the โitโ factor ๐ฏ
Strong ๐ช๐พ/ Explosive with the ability to score from all 3 levels , always find her self around the rim to rebound
2024 Sniper Alyssa Lewis has shown she is not only one of the best pure shooters in the country. But she is a on ball defensive specialist. Alyssa size and strengths allows her to be very versatile defensively on ball & off ball while having the offensive savviness to get where
