The 2011 Indiana Elite S.W.I.S.H. Girls Program finished with a very impressive record of 180 62 with 22 Tournament Titles including A Pair of Adidas Spring National Hardwood Championships, Adidas Summer National Championship, winning the Club Division of the National Club Championships (for the second time), and a COMPLETE SWEEP at the TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS in Nashville, TN. We had 11 players be named to various All American Teams at events and have heard from over 200 college coaches about kids in the program from 11 th graders all the way down to 7 th graders!! For the year, the overall program finished 275-114 with 29 Titles which brings the overall record to 1766 850 (.675%), 153 Tournament Titles and 74 former players at the next level over the past 9 year. Each year the program draws better players from around the tristate and continues to strive to make each one of them better by individual skill work, more advanced team play as well as playing with & against the top talent. When teams find success they find themselves playing up a division instead of just feeding on easier opponents and not pushing them to become better All interested players are encouraged to contact us as we structure each year s team by interest, talent levels, and commitments.

Tournament Titles were won at the Tournament of Champions (Nashville), National Club Challenge (Indianapolis), and 2 qualifiers in Nashville, TN. They also played in the boys 7 th /8 th grade league as well as 4 events in Louisville. There is a nice core group of girls to build around and suspect that if they continue to work on their games, several will be in great shape to play again next year and find even getter success.

With five new faces in the line up, this team really showed how far a team can come in two years with a lot of hard work! Look for a few new faces once again as the commitment level will go up another notch for the 2012 year. With another outstanding year next year, most of these girls will put themselves in a great position to force their future high school coaches to move them straight to varsity from day 1
Girls 13U/8 th Grade Team for 2011 # Name Hght Future School & Class 1 Mikayla Berry 5 2 Owensboro Catholic, KY 16 2 Greer Neff 5 2 Heritage Hills 15 4 Hannah Ubelhor 5 9 Evansville Mater Dei 15 10 Olivia Carroll 5 10 S.

Knox 15 25 Maddison Ubelhor 5 7 Jasper 15 Coach: Keith Piersawl This first year team overcame a lot to post a 27-9 record. With only one girl having any non school travel ball experience, losing 4 girls early, and most not knowing each other at all they still managed to win 4 Tournaments (Adidas Gateway Event in St. Louis, MAYB, USBA in Nashville, and Tournament of Champions), undefeated at USI team shootout in JV division, and 2 more second place finishes! Coach Piersawl did an outstanding job of not only developing the player s skill sets but adjusting on both sides of the ball to better suit the make up of the team! Next year, regardless of how the high school teams are divided up, it will be a much tougher and somewhat longer road for the girls. Season will extend into July for the NCAA viewing period events and much will be expected of them as the next two older teams sure set the bar high for them to follow.

Playing up in almost every event they finished 33-6 while winning the Adidas Spring National, Tournament of Champions, Cardinal Memorial Day Classic at U of L and finishing second at US Jr. Nationals in St. Louis, Governors Cup at Middle Tennessee State U., and USBA event in Nashville. They went 11-4 in 3 events in the July NCAA viewing period, over a grueling 10 day stretch! With the experience they have gained from the spring and summer, expect all of them to have big impact right out of the gate for their respective high school (Jackie has another year to wait)! This team will be looking to add a few strong players next year to continue their run and exposure to college coaches. Interested players should contact swish@ebahoops.com early in their respective high school seasons so we can come watch you play as open tryouts may not be need this upcoming year. We are looking forward to these girls shine this upcoming high school season

Knox 2013 Coach: Phil Kessler 2011 Team Girls 10 th U-15 WOW what a year and post season activity! This might be the best team in the last 10 year that has ever come out of Indiana Elite-SWISH/EBA 31-5 winning both Adidas Spring and Summer Nationals, as well as US Jr. Nationals in St. Louis, Tournament of Champions, Silver Division at Summer Slam in Cincy, and second place at USA Tip Off Classic and Memorial Day Event at U of Louisville. All of this while losing Riley to an ACL at her first event and being very shorthanded at several events due to other conflicts!!! But the really success has come in the post season with over 140 college coaches contacting us about the girls on the team and not just 2 or 3 of them but all of them are getting lots of interest! This fall will be an exciting time for most of them to start taking visits to schools and getting more scholarship offers! They will be best players in the region for sure so get of the couch and go see for yourself! While next year will be difficult to match, with a few adjustments, they will be ready to end their outstanding 4 year run with another 30+ wins and even great effort.

Going 18-20, winning the Kentucky State Championships in Louisville, second at the Bluegrass Open, and 3 rd at the USA Tip Off Classis in July was a solid year nonetheless. While Kelsey Dirks has already committed to Murray St. to play after HS, others will look to a strong showing at the NCAA Fall viewing period and their final year of high school to secure their places at the next level. We feel at least 5 of them will have an opportunity to continue to play
