The 2021 USA Women’s U16 National Team roster is set.
The 12-member squad will compete at the 2021 FIBA Americas U16 Championship from Aug. 16-22 in Santiago, Chile.
i took a couple days to reflect on this championship, season, and what the BSM basketball program has meant to me. as my time playing at bsm comes to an end, i want to share some thoughts. it is hard to imagine that 5 years has gone by since i first wore red and white.
I have been blessed with receiving many basketball shoes from the opportunities the game has given me & i want to give back. Legacy Hoops and I are partnering together to service organizations in need of new or gently used athletic shoes. 1/2
Benilde-St. Margaret's Olivia Olson is the No. 9 basketball player in the country for the class of 2024 and she's heading out for a month with Team USA. But first, the 15-year-old needs to get her lawn care company covered.
