GALT, CA (MPG) - In a remarkable display of talent and determination, the Liberty Ranch Girls Basketball Team has etched its name in the school’s history with a season that can only be described as historic. Celebrating a 10-0 league championship, the team didn’t stop there; they also captured the Section title, another milestone that solidifies their legacy as the first girls’ basketball team to do it. 

To top it off, they advanced further in the state playoffs, securing two crucial victories that have left fans buzzing with excitement.

Under the guidance of Head Coach Josh Williams, the Liberty Ranch team showcased its prowess on the court, dominating the league and setting a standard for excellence. 

As league champions, Williams had the honor of recognizing the standout players who helped lead the team to victory. Four exceptional athletes—senior Summer McCoy, junior Haley Smith, junior Madisyn Robbins and sophomore Kamrynn Blevins—earned All-League honors, a testament to their hard work and commitment throughout the season.

Among these stars, Smith distinguished herself further by being named league MVP for the second consecutive year. Averaging an impressive 19.7 points per game and 9.3 rebounds, Smith’s performance was instrumental in the team’s success. Additionally, she has now set the record for the most career points scored at Liberty Ranch, with her remarkable tenure ongoing as she looks forward to her senior year.

“This was an incredible year for our team,” reflected Smith. “We achieved our main goals, which were to win the league undefeated and to bring back the first Section title for girls’ basketball in Liberty Ranch history. I am proud to have been named League MVP by the coaches in the SVC. This honor would not have been possible without the help of my teammates, coaches and support from the incredible LR fans. We can’t wait to defend both our league and section titles next year and make it even farther in the state playoffs, hopefully bringing home a state championship.”

The excitement surrounding the team continues as they prepare for the upcoming season, with a clear goal in sight: not only to defend their titles but to achieve even greater heights in the state playoffs. With the talent they’ve displayed and the determination in their eyes, the Liberty Ranch Girls Basketball Team is poised for another outstanding adventure, leaving fans hopeful and eager for what’s to come. This team not only showcases skill and teamwork but is also a source of inspiration for the entire Liberty Ranch community. 

Keep an eye on these young athletes as they continue to make history!
