The "White" High School team coached by Dan Middleton finished the summer in strong fashion. The Stars took 2nd place in Southern California at the Cal Sparks Summer Games Tournament in mid July. At the end of July the Stars went 4 and 2 losing in the 5th place game at the 120+ team MSNM Western Championship Tournament in San Diego.

The Stars improved steadily all season long so it was nice to see them finish on such a High Note. "The team had a lot of heart and really worked together in July. I could not be more proud of them", stated coach Middleton.

Congratulations to co-coaches Trisha and Raul Reyes and their 5th Grade Elite team for going undefeated in Reno and claiming the Pacific District Memorial Day Championship.
