This summer the Lady Maroons played in Shoot-Outs at the University of Illinois (defeated Alton) and at Decatur Eisenhower High School (where they defeated Maroa-Forsyth 36-22; lost to W-L by 1 and lost to Centralia on a half-court buzzer beater). The girls also participated in the DISC League on the campus of Millikin University. On July 6th, the Lady Maroons won the DISC League Championship by defeating Decatur Eisenhower. They also defeated Decatur LSA in the semi-final game to reach the championship. To update our F/S team this summer; they went 2-1 playing in the Tolono Unity summer league. New assistant coach Justin Deters had the kids playing fast and playing hard. He has done an outstanding job grasping a completely new baskeball system. The summer was a wonderful experience for our kids, mostly because they got a chance to see how far they have come from last summer. It might be a little too early to tell how the Lady Maroons will do in the 2010-2011 season, but I must say that our future is looking very bright. We are learning how tough we need to be and how much effort is required to be a championship caliber team. This is OUR TEAM and this is OUR TIME!
