🏀 Another Great Kelso Girls Basketball Youth Camp! 🏀

What an incredible three days at our Kelso Girls Basketball Youth Camp!

A huge thank you to all of the campers who brought great energy, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn. It was awesome to see so many young athletes working hard, improving their skills, making new friends, and having fun along the way.

Thank you to our high school players who helped lead drills, encourage campers, and serve as great role models throughout the week. Giving back to the next generation of Hilanders is what building a strong program is all about.

We also want to thank the parents and families for trusting us with your athletes and supporting youth basketball in our community.

The future of Kelso Girls Basketball is bright, and camps like this remind us how special this program can be when we come together.

Attitude. Team. Trust. Work.

🎓💙💛 Thank You, Ellie & Peyton 💛💙🎓

Today we celebrate two incredible seniors who have left the Kelso Girls Basketball program better than they found it.

Ellie and Peyton have been leaders, teammates, competitors, and role models throughout their time in our program. Their impact goes far beyond points, rebounds, wins, or awards.

They leave as Academic State Champions, All-League players, and key contributors to the growth of our program. But what makes them truly special is the character they displayed every day. They embodied our pillars of Attitude, Team, Trust, and Work, setting the standard for those who will follow.

Thank you for the countless hours, the sacrifices, the leadership, and the example you set for younger players. Thank you for helping build the culture of Kelso Girls Basketball and for showing what it means to represent our school with pride.

The banners, awards, and accomplishments will always be part of your legacy, but the relationships you built and the people you became will have the greatest impact.

We are proud of everything you have accomplished and even more excited for what comes next. There is no doubt that both of you are going to do great things.

Once a Hilander, always a Hilander.

💙💛

This season has been really special, and moments like this make me stop and reflect on just how proud I am of this group.

Being named Academic State Champions with a 3.98 team GPA is an incredible accomplishment. What makes it even more special to me is knowing the type of young women that earned it. These girls compete at a high level on the court, but they also take pride in being great students, great teammates, and representing our program the right way.

Something like this doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of a lot of hard work and commitment. The work started back in the summer, continued through our late night fall workouts, and carried over into every practice and game during the season. The same discipline and effort they showed in the gym is the same effort they showed in the classroom every day.

From the beginning of the year, we talked about what our program is built on — our Four Pillars: Attitude, Team, Trust, and Work. This group truly lived those pillars.

They showed up every day with a great attitude, they put the team first, they built trust with each other and with our coaching staff, and they were never afraid of the work it takes to be successful.

As a coach, you hope to have teams that represent your program the right way. This group did that in every way possible. They supported each other, pushed each other, and truly cared about one another. That’s what made this team so special.

To see them recognized during the 3A State Championship tournament for their work in the classroom is something our entire program and community should be proud of.

I’m incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to coach this group.

So proud of all of you.

We ARE Hilanders.

🏆📚 ACADEMIC STATE CHAMPIONS 📚🏆

Proud is an understatement.
Our 2026 Girls Basketball Team has been named Academic State Champions with an incredible combined GPA of 3.98.

These young women prove every day that excellence doesn’t stop when you leave the gym. The work they put in the classroom matches the effort, discipline, and commitment they show on the court.

The team will be recognized during the 3A Girls State Championship on March 7th, and we couldn’t be more proud of the way they represent our program, school, and community.

Champions in the classroom.
Champions in life.

Proud of This Group. Always.

This season didn’t end the way we wanted it to—but that doesn’t change how proud I am to be your coach.

The growth you showed all year was tremendous. 13 wins. A trip to the district championship. A state tournament appearance. Those are things to be proud of.

But what stands out even more than the wins is the toughness, resilience, and togetherness you showed as a team. You stayed connected, you kept fighting, and you represented our program the right way every single day.

This group believed in each other, trusted the process, and never backed down. That matters. That lasts.

Thank you for the effort, the commitment, and the heart you brought every day.
So proud of this team and the journey we shared.
