We are especially grateful and appreciative of the many volunteers and sponsors who helped make this year’s Lady Spartans program happen. We also would like to express our thanks for the student and community support we have grown accustomed to over the years. You have helped to make it a truly home court advantage each and every time we step on the floor! We hope you will appreciate the hardworking, fast-paced, energetic style of basketball we play. Skyline Girls Basketball enters the 2012-2013 campaign coming off a KingCo Crest Division Championship and a State Tournament berth the prior year. In total, we have featured an outstanding two-year run of success. This season we will be tasked with replacing four talented seniors, three of which were starters on last year’s team. Two of those seniors, Megan Wiedeman and Allie Wyszynski, have continued their basketball careers playing for Saint Martin’s and University of Pu-get Sound respectively. The bar has certainly been raised, but the 2012-2013 Lady

Spartans are up to the task and are excited at the opportunity to build on the recent success and traditions, while establishing and building their own identity and personality as team. This year’s team features seven returning varsity players and a talented group of newcomers. Seniors Haley Smith, Rachel Shim, Lacey Nicholson, and Lindsay Coutts provide a strong nucleus of leadership and experience. We also return three other junior players that saw considerable action last season including Shelby Kassuba, Bryn deVita, and Alex Daugherty that will be relied on to contribute even more this season. Newcomers to the team include Stella Mazzaferro & Alyssa Hawkinson (swing), freshman Cassidy Daugherty & Taylor McKerlich, and transfers Lusi Bainvialu (Peninsula) and Ali Mendezona (Issaquah). This group has bonded together quickly and are looking forward to tough competition in the KingCo Conference. The girls are very much aware of the talented teams that return this season and know they will have to work even harder to challenge for the Crown Division championship again. Most importantly, while striving for success on the court, we hope to represent ourselves and Skyline High with class and pride!

WELCOME TO 2012-13 SKYLINE LADY SPARTAN BASKETBALL

Thank you for your support of Skyline Athletics! As the Athletic Director at Skyline High School,

I have the pleasure of being around many great programs that do great things for our student-

athletes. So far this year, our varsity team GPA’s are an astounding 3.53. Those varsity teams

won two state championships, had a fifth place finish in state, and all programs are represented

in state competition. This is an unprecedented level of success that we are hoping to carry over

into this winter season. The success that I am most excited about is that I believe that we are

working towards our goals as an athletic department to give kids a great experience and teach

life lessons through sports.

Both of these goals are supported by the positive involvement of the community and, especially,

of parents. Thank you for being positive, supportive, and involved in the lives of our student

athletes. It is not always easy. By the nature of sports, there are plenty of ups and downs and challenges to work

through. It is those challenges that present opportunities for growth among our student-athletes. Thank you for sup-

porting your kids through it all. Feel free to introduce yourself or call me at any time. I look forward to a fantastic

season. GO SPARTANS! Ryan Gilbert Athletic Director

COACHING EXCELLENCE…….

Beginning his fifth season as Head Coach of the Skyline Girl’s Basketball team, Coach Bruns looks forward to the continuing development of the program and to the challenges of playing in the very difficult KingCo 4A league. This year’s talented seniors feature players with considerable Varsity action including Haley Smith and Rachel Shim who are 4-year letter winners.
