Congratulations to @SJA_Gameday Girls Basketball! Taking the 2026 Shot Clock Showdown Championship!

[Coach Chad @CoachChad5]

It's great for us to give back. Thanks for the opportunity to help our community.

[Lady Panther WBB @LadyPantherBB]

Building a program is about more than basketball. 💚 Today our Lady Panthers volunteered at the community garage sale, giving back to a community that gives so much to us. Proud of these young women for leading through service and representing Derby with class!

What a fun day, we got so much better. Thanks, @CoachDerekGoble and @CoachZachHaynes, for your incredible work in the weight room. Also, to my new staff, thank you for working so hard for our girls this week.

Love these girls.

Growth — Word of the Day

Definition:
Growth is the process of improving, learning, and becoming better over time through effort, experiences, and challenges.

In Sports:
Growth happens when you embrace coaching, learn from mistakes, and work consistently to improve your skills.

[Coach Chad @CoachChad5]

Good morning all,
The word of the day is Power.

The ability to influence, control, or make a difference in a situation.

Quote: “Power is not shown by strength alone, but by how you use it.”

Reflection: How will you use your power for good today?

[Lady Panther WBB @LadyPantherBB]

One day down, three to go!

Tomorrow:
🏋️ Weights start at 11:00 AM
🏀 Team Camp starts at 11:30 AM

And don’t forget…

👕 TOMORROW IS GRAPHIC T-SHIRT DAY 👕

Let’s bring the energy and keep stacking great days. 💪
