One last piece of camp content—Our players get the chance to be in command during camp. Check out some of the experiences our seniors had working with our young Norsemen this week!
NBA Camp Highlights—Mic’d Up Edition!
Not the end result we wanted tonight, but big congrats to our girl
@ReaganBarkema
for eclipsing the 1,000 point mark in tonight’s game! A kid that does it the right way and strives to leave the jersey in a better place than she found it everyday!

@BradleyWBB
Proud of this group and all they accomplished. We were hoping for a few more days, but that’s life sometimes.
Reece, Madison, Reagan, and Sam—The program is better because you were a part of it. Thank you for 4 years of blood, sweat, and guts!

Conference Champs! Our conference win tonight earned us a share of the HOIC title. It’s our 5th title in the past 10 seasons. Congrats to senior Jenna Clark (
@JennaMarieClar1
)for making her 200th 3ptr. tonight which ties her with the record for most 3s made in a career.
The game didn’t end in our favor, but we are thankful that some of our kids were able to hear some wisdom from Jean Dole tonight in Grundy Center. Jean is a 1956 graduate of Roland High School, a long time resident of Grundy Center, and the coolest 85 year old around!

Love this group. Life’s lessons can be hard to comprehend at times. Continue to control the controllables, fail forward, & go after what you want in life with all your ❤️!

What’s better than breaking the school record w/ 14 3ptrs last night? Breaking it again tonight with 20 made 3ptrs. We had 5 girls tonight w/ 3 or more 3ptrs and once again had outstanding team play on both the offensive and defensive end!

I generally don’t enjoy end of season “wrap up” duties. But, I do enjoy laughing at and deleting the selfies off of my phone that our players seem to enjoy taking. Here are my 3 favorites from this season!!
With a 57-36 victory today at Colo-NESCO the girls finish the regular season 19-2.
@JennaMarieClar1
breaks the school record for most 3s made in a career. She currently has 205 breaking the record of 200 set by Shayla Barnes.
Proud of the grit the squad showed tonight. Traded blows with an extremely good team all night and came up a little short at the end….but it wasn’t for lack of effort and guts! Back to work tomorrow!
What a great night celebrating this group. We had a tremendous crowd tonight as well! One more regular season game Tuesday, then it is tournament time!

Great team win last night. Many highlights including: Jenna Clark school record 12 steals in 1 game, tied team record w/ 13 3ptrs in 1 game, a 30 point quarter, most importantly relentless, inspiring, & selfless team play for 4 full quarters.

Great morning with the squad finishing up our Angel Tree fundraiser with some shopping and present wrapping. We were able to sponsor 3 families this year. Thank you so much to everyone who supported our cause!
What a great morning with the squad. We decorated cookies that will be distributed to our school staff this week and then had a little Secret Santa exchange! Thanks to Lincoln Center Hy-Vee in Ames for donating all of the frosting supplies!
What a great 3 days of camp it was! We had 55+ total campers between our 3-5 and 6-8 groups. Big thanks to our high school players who spent the last 3 days helping run camp, leading drills, and making sure everyone had a great time. The future is bright!
