Four years ago, four freshmen homeschooled girls were part of a brand-new varsity girls basketball team at New Life Camp called the Storm. A year later, they were joined by three 7th graders, and together those 7 girls formed the core of a team that grew over the next 3 years into a championship team. Last year as seniors and freshmen, this group, with senior transfer Arianna Dinglasan as the final piece of the puzzle, posted a 20-4 record and captured the East Coast Homeschool Championship at the HSPN tournament in Virginia.
This year marks a new beginning. Only sophomores Shelby Suffridge and Hannah Carlson remain from last year's team. They are joined by freshmen Emily Stone and Tamara Johnson, and 8th graders Katie Patrick, Sarah Suffridge, and Sarah Munroe, who move up from the Middle School Storm. Junior Mary Williams rejoins the team after 2 years away, and the Storm program welcomes newcomers Ele'Jah Carter, Leigh Hales, and Courtney Brodie.
The new Storm team is young but has a lot of potential and is ready to start making its mark as the new season begins at the NCHEAC Preseason Tip-Off Tournament in Greensboro on Nov. 5th and 6th.
