What a historic moment for our program!

This season, our very own Coach led his team to a stunning NCS Championship title, showcasing exceptional leadership, dedication, and a relentless commitment to excellence. His vision, preparation, and trust in his athletes were evident throughout the season — and it paid off in the most spectacular way. Championships aren’t won overnight; they’re built through hard work, discipline, and heart. Coach Stevie embodies all of these qualities and more.

And to top it off — has claimed the NCS Championship title for the third consecutive year! Three straight championships is an extraordinary achievement. It’s a testament to consistency, resilience, and a championship mindset that refuses to settle for anything less than greatness. Back-to-back-to-back titles place Stevie-Joyce in a league of her own and cemented her legacy.

We are beyond proud and deeply inspired to witness this level of excellence within our own community. Coach Stevie and Stevie-Joyce continue to raise the bar and inspire everyone around them.

Here’s to hard work, heart, and history in the making. Congratulations on an unforgettable achievement! 🏆
