Who 'Yo Messin' With!

A highlight of this basketball preseason is the commitment we're seeing from our local high school girls to build their strength and conditioning in prep of the upcoming season. We have a group of about 8-10 regulars at the PowerHouse Gym Mon-Wed-Fri (right after school), and another few that are working out at Rock and Nautilus.

We're very proud of you ladies for your commitment to preparing for the upcoming season. You will be amazed at the gains in athletic ability, and overall health and conditioning as a result of the hard work your are doing now!

We still have time and room at the PowerHouse for anyone that would like to join us. cost is $25 per month for the facility. We will put your through a personalized workout that will maximize your time spent in the gym.

Four GHS Girls Participate in College Showcase at CMU

Brooke Arnold, Bailey Gooding, Jessica Green, and Brittney Deerfield competed in the Michigan Girls Basketball Report showcase at Central Michigan University this past Sunday. The four GHS girls were part of a group of over 200 players from around the state of Michigan. The event is for players that are interested in playing collegiate basketball, exposing them to college coaches from universities ranging from community college to D-1 schools.

The program started off with a brief meeting about NCAA recruiting rules, and then into the "Top 100" skills and drills session. In the afternoon, the girls were split up into teams and played 3 games against the other teams in a AAU format. The event was well attended by coaches, and overall was a successful day for all.
