The Colorado Springs STARS completed a remarkable 2010 Summer season in great fashion. The summer saw the return of the boys program. Led By Jay Cates, Jay Ford, and Duke Stewart, the boys side had some real highs this summer. Our group of young men grew as the summer progressed and captured multiple MAYB Championships! I am very proud of the way these teams represented the STARS. We have a strong foundation to build upon and get a bigger footprint in the city.
The Colorado Springs STARS girls program proved that it is a top 5 program in the State! Our three teams all showed outstanding teamwork, hardwork, and remarkable improvement. Coaches Steve Jones and Campbell led our young team. Wow, did they come together as a team and really improve their basic skills.
Coach Helsham and Harris had our 2nd team and though it didn't capture any major tournaments, we met our goal of player improvement, improving basketball IQ and teamwork.
Our top team had unprecedented success on and off the court. We completed major home renovation project that made a huge difference for a worthy veteran in the community. On the court we had 3 top 10 finishes on the National circuit. Best record to date in Nationals going 16-4 that's awesome!
I look forward to all of our teams building on their success of the summer. It was a great season. I'll see you all on the hardwood.
