This will be the biggest tournament in the history of the Lady Jaguars program since it's inception in 2004. No team in our program has ever been that far west. There are over 20 college coaches that have taken money out of their budgets to come see the Jags play!

The west coast interest in east coast players in no secret. Most of the D1 talent is recruited to more eastern schools than western schools.
This is a high profile tournament with over 100 D1 college coaches and scouting services in attendance.
We have been told by college coaches looking to attend that this is a "Statement Tournament" for the Lady Jaguars!
The girls are ready to step up and play at a high level. We look forward to making some noise in Vegas with our young teams!

The South Florida Lady Jaguars trip to Las Vegas was a HUGE SUCCESS!!!

Once again the Jags took a RISK! They flew out to the west coast to compete in the Adidas EA Sports Showcase in Las Vegas.
We were the only east coast team there. All others hailed from surrounding states.
The Junior team was very short handed due to two parents bailing out on commitments before the end of the season.
Seven Players took on the challenge and stepped up to the table. They never complained, or put up a fuss.
They just came together to attack the task at hand.  This is the true definition of a TEAM.
Facing some of the top teams on the West Coast including Candace Parkers Team (FBC BLUE), the short handed jags responded well.
After going on a 3 game winning streak which included beating some of the top teams from the west the Jags finished strong with a final victory
vs the Vegas Elite (an affiliate of FBC and one of their best national teams).
The only Junior on the team was Tayler Tremblay from Boca Raton, FL. She scored over 100 points over the course of the tourney and had a tremendous 37 point game vs the Fresno Vines and then droppped 27 on the Vegas Elite!  She was clearly our tournament MVP.
There were well over 100 college coaches there and at least 30 sat on every one of our games!!!

16U Team

Jersey     Name                  Height   Grade
15 | 15     Carson, April       5' 10"   2011
1 | 1        Coddington, Clarissa    5' 11"   2011
21 | 21     Ellis, Oriana       6' 1"   2010
23 | 23     Howard, Kaley       6' 1.5"   2011
00 | 00     Segarra, Chanlir       5' 6"   2011
3 | 3       Tremblay, Tayler       5' 6"   2010
14 | 14     Wallace, Sherryah    5' 7"   2011
11 | 11     Walters, Chelsea       5' 8.5"   2011

The Lady Jags 15u stepped up to the table with 110% scrappy play. After losing the first game by 19 they were not turned back and went on a 5 game winning streak which included beating the OC Ballers Elite, which was the team we orinignally lost to! The wins we gained on the way to the Ship were
not easy. We had to battle back from being down 17pts, 14pts, and 12pts to make it to the championship vs the top team in the 15u Division the FBC Elite.
After being down 12 points after the half the Jags locked down on Defense and pulled out a huge victory for the program!
All players on the team stepped up and made BIG plays at times to help secure the Championship Run!!!
There were well over 100 college coaches there and at least 30 sat on every one of our games!!!

Mayor - You are almost always right because you understand player development and national teams.

We would like to set up a couple of off season scrimages. We will drive up there. Please ask coach Bannister.
