17 Crush Finishes March with 3 1st Place Tournament Victories out of 3 Tournaments Played capped by a thrilling 9th place finish out of 128 teams at the Indy Qualifier !

By  Coaches Geoff Davis & Ryan Johnson

H2  STL 17 Crush set some pretty high goals for its 9, mostly dual sports athletes.  Playing around 5 basketball schedules, a hurt knee, and a competitive swim schedule, the team found a way to practice 2-3 times per week, though odd hours I admit, and put in place a thrilling month capturing 1^st place honors in each of the 3 tournaments that they competed in, two of which had 12team pools.  Each of these kids played flawlessly during the day.  It’s really apparent that these kids care for each other, and support each other.  The two underclassman (16s) defensive specialist, have really shown us a great deal of heart on the court and have come together.  Ranked 8^th in the region, this team has a real chance at gaining a bid to nationals and will be looking forward to getting on the court in a couple of weeks.  This weekend, 17 Crush  setter, Jenna McGraw will be making her appearance with her H2 sisters on 17 Cardinal (ranked#2).

Go Crush!!
