The Bravettes are 7-1 overall, including a 5-1 mark in South Iowa Cedar League play.

We have developed a very deep team, with a lot of scoring balance,” said head Coach Janel Burgess. “It has been great watching our youthfulness be led by our great seniors and developing into a very solid TEAM,” she said.

We have a lot of room for growth in the near year and one thing we will focus on is remaining a balanced attack from the outside and the inside,” she said.

We will also need to continue to lock in on our defensive game plans each night in order to reach our fullest as the season unfolds,” the coach said.

Be ready for some fun hoops in the next eight weeks!,” Burgess said.
