Skills-n-Drills Night May 12: Wednesday nights Skills-n-Drills practice will be run
by a special guest, Womens Basketball Asst Coach at Bentley University, C White. Coach White, is excited to lead
the girls in an hour-long (and possibly longer) series of high energy drills. Coach White was a star point guard at
Bentley from 1997 through 2001, where she led the Falcons to a 27-4 record and a 31-3 record during her junior and
senior years, respectively. She finished her career in Bentley's top 30 all-time in scoring, top 10 in assists, and
top 5 in 3-pointers. After taking an assistant coaching position at Harvard University, she returned to Bentley in 2003,
where she has helped to continue the success of the strong Bentley women's basketball program. She was inducted
into Westwood High School's Hall of Fame in 2008.
Weekend Update April 17-18: The Lightning girls ventured out to Essex County to play in 8 games spanning
the U10, U11, U12-13 age groups. And came home with a 6-2 record. The U10 Lightning Sparks girls entered the Eastern
Raider Basketball Challenge and split their games, with their loss coming against an older U11 team.
The U11 Lightning Bolts girls swept both of their games at the New England Basketball One Day Challenge,
as did the U12-13 Lightning Storm girls as they kept their unbeaten record intact with a thrilling overtime buzzer
beating win. The U12-13 Lightning Flash girls fell by a single point in their first game
at the tourney, but regrouped to pull out a victory in their second game of the night.
Congratulations to all the girls!
For 2010 season, we are dedicated to push ourselves harder and to do the things, both large
and small, that make us better players and individuals.
