Interview with Girls Basketball team

On a scale of 1-10, what would you give your team this season?
Coach Bey: 8 out of 10
Assistant Coach Falcon: I think I would probably give them a 7.
Raven Parker, Class of 2029: An 8 or 7
Lenda Kasiba, Class of ‘29: 8
What was this year’s experience like with the Lady Clippers?
Coach Bey: It was a positive experience. We worked more on their mental health and developing personal and mental toughness outside of just skills on the basketball court. So I feel like they developed and grew as young women.
Assistant Coach Falcon: For me, from transitioning over from coaching girls flag [football] to basketball, I think it was a great experience. It was fun. It definitely was challenging. It helped build my coaching skills even more and I feel as though it was a good experience for everyone, for the team in general.
Who are your MVPs this year?
Coach Bey: Jaylah Green, Raven Parker, and Briel Gayle. Honorable mention to Lenda Kasiba.
Assistant Coach Falcon: The team MVP would be Jaylah Green.
Raven Parker: Me, Jayla, and either Amoi or Briel
Lenda Kasiba: Jaylah Green, Briel Gayle, and me.
What is your favorite highlight from this season?
Raven Parker: My defense
Lenda Kasiba: When I had got a double double when we played East, I was happy.
What school would you say was the toughest to play?
Coach Bey: Definitely City at the end of the season.
What are some things you could improve on from this season?
Coach Bey: I think that we could be more defensively sound and I think that we could always do better with teamwork, communication, and playing together. They kind of struggle with being on the same page. That’s just something we need to work on during the off-season.
Raven Parker: My shooting.
Raven Parker: I’m going to work on my decision making a little bit.
Lenda Kasiba: Being fast on my feet.
What are the future plans for next year for the Lady Clippers?
Assistant Coach Falcon: The plan that Coach Bey has for the program is for them to develop over the off-season, do off season workouts, try to play as much basketball as they can, and participate in any basketball camps that are available this summer.
Coach Bey: A lot of off-season development. Keep working on their mental toughness and making them fall in love with the game of basketball, because the more they love it, the better we’ll be as a team.
Lenda Kasiba: My plans for next year are to get stronger and better.
