Future Lady Knights
2008 Assumption Girls State Champs
view full size
    Welcome. The Future Lady Knights is an organization formed to help female athletes (3rd grade -8th grade) who intend on attending Assumption High School, Davenport, Iowa , who want a competitive and developmental experience, to play with the other girls who are going to Assumption and to help them as a team and individually to become better basketball players. The FLK program is set up to give the opportunity to each girl to learn the fundamentals, develop their individual and team skills in a competitive setting and get them ready for the high school level.
    In FLK (2007-08) basketball there were over 87 girls playing on these teams: 8th grade team, 7th grade team, 6th grade team (2 groups), 5th grade team (2 groups), 4th grade team (2 groups) and 3rd grade team. All teams play in tournament or league play. FLK offers the 3rd-4th-5th grade girls weekly basketball skills camps. The 7th and 8th grade teams play two different seasons: the winter and summer. The lower grades play in the fall-winter. Basketball registration is in mid-September each year for the winter season. Registration for the summer is normally in April.         
       In the 2007-08 season, the Assumption seniors, juniors and sophmores on the Assumption girls varsity team all went through the FLK program. As varsity players the girls had a perfect undefeated season (27-0) and won the Iowa State Championship.

       For FLK softball there are 10/under, 12/ under and 14/under teams. The teams play in association with ASA softball. Softball teams play in the fall and summer.
      The FLK baseketball program also helps to put the girls in contact with the opportunities in other sports to play softball, golf, tennis and volleyball.

Coach "B" says...

August 27, 2008

Girls & Parents

Welcome back to another year of basketball. As head coach
of Assumption’s girls program, I am very proud of our
recent success, our work ethic and our passion for the
game that our athletes develop in playing in the FLK.
Last season will not be forgotten. It was a banner year
to go 27-0, winning a state title and having one game
under a double digits, is quite an achievement for our
young Ladies. What many people do not realize is the
Assumption girls finished ranked 23rd in the national ranking.
It would have been easy for our players to just sit back and
relax, and enjoy the past success, but the opposite took place.
During the off-season our girls worked very hard to improve
their skills and to improve our court continuity. Our coaching
staff feels we are ahead of expectations at this point. We
finished with winning the top division at Drake University
by beating some of the top teams in the state – West Des
Moines Valley, Urbandale, Algona, Indianola, Dallas City
Grimes, Mason city, & Saydel.
Next year varsity include the Seniors: Sara Mainey,
Ashley Giganti, Jordan Verdi, Liz Kadavy, and Juniors:
Sam Thrapp, MaryBeth Bush, Al Valainis, Becca Otting,
Morgan Steffen, Sam Holoubek, and Sophomores:
Sam Johannsen, Emma Ambrose, Abby Strajack.
All 13 players were Future Lady Knights when they were
in grade school. They have been working very hard for a
long time to get to this level. It should be a fun and exciting
season.
Again, welcome to another season of basketball. I am
glad you are part of the top youth B-Ball program in
the state. Work Hard….. Have Fun….. Never take a
back seat to anyone.

  • Any where
  • Any time

God Bless

& Good Hoops

Girls on the 7th grade team should check the web site under "roster" for their 7th grade team to read about the individual players on the team.

There are 13 girls on the 7th grade team that have registered for the 2007-08 season. Six of them played with the 8th grade team last summer. Nine of the girls played together last year as 6th graders in FLK. This winter they jelled as a team and did fantastic  against their competition. As of early March 2008 the girls are 65-17, and have been in 10 championship games in 17 tourneys, winning most of them. Last "summer girls" who played together were, Allie, Helene, MaryKate, Megan, Morgan, Haley and they are re- joined this fall - winter with FLK  teammates,  Danielle, Kate, Kristin, Sydney, Becca, Maggie, and Mary.  

          There  is so much talent in this group of girls, it is ahrd to get them all enough PT. They challenge the coach to stay ahead of them. They keep pushing the coaches, because the  girls learn so fast and do so well so quickly. Even when the group is divided into two groups of 6-7 players per team to play in a tourney (which occurred a few times this winter season), the girls win and they play well together. We have tried to give the girls  different roles and responisbilites to help them grow, to develop as players and to better understand the game.

8th grade News

8th grade Girls (of 2007-08), you should  check the roster link in the 8th grade section and for a write up about each player on the team.

               The 8th grade girls included a solid group of 7 players, namely : Kate, Katelyn, Kylie, Emily, Katherine, Hannah and Kathryn. This is a special group of players for FLK. They are talented in so many ways. They are leaders in their school, in the gym and respected on the floor. This year they have come together as a team overcoming many obstacles caused by other people and by events not of their chosing. The have each improved incredibly well this year.  We expect that the each girl can and should do well next year in high school. They each have a good idea of what it will take to succeed.  

          As a team they set goals early in the season to improve as players and as a team. They met many of their individual goals to improve their skills and fundamentals. As a team they had courage to set very high goals early in the season for win-loss record, points per game, defense points allowed, shots, percentage made, FT percentage and number of games won in championship games. The meet some, but not all, of those goals. Each one of the girl's comptetive spirit, perservance, dedication, work ethic and willingness to learn is inspirational. These girls are coachable, make their coach better, and are fun to be around.

ALWAYS BE YOUR BEST!

When you think it doesn’t matter
if you fail or pass the test.
Keep in mind the reason why
you should always be your best.

While the whole world may not notice
if you tried to give your all,
there is a person in you
to whom it matters if you fall.

That little voice inside you -
which directs your thoughts each day -
will make the final judgement
if you won or lost each day.

Never can you fail yourself
if you give it all you’ve got.
The world extends a hand to you
when you give life your best shot.

For all that really matters
when you're finished with your test,
is not the final score at all -
but did you do your best?

- Tom Krause
2004

Practices will start the last week of September 2008:
Do two ball dribbling for 5 minutes per day, and
50 free throws or 50 short jump shots at game speed
each day, and you will make a geat difference
when you get into the basketball season.

ALWAYS MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

Many years ago, a large American shoe manufacturer
sent two sales reps out to different parts of the
Australian outback to see if they could drum up
some business among the aborigines. Some time later,
the company received telegrams from both agents.
The first one said, "No business here...
natives don't wear shoes."
The second one said, "Great opportunity here...
natives don't wear shoes!"

Assumption Lady Knights are Perfect Winning the State Championship and Finishing the Season 27-0
Knight Fever

The Lady Knights are the girls 2A state champions, finishing the year 27-0, and defeating a great opponent, MFL Mar Mac, who was ranked no. 2 by the State at the end of the regular season. In the finals it was the no.1 ranked Assumption Lady Knights against the no. 2 ranked, then undefeated, Mar Mac Bulldogs in the final game on Friday night Feb 29, 2008. In a thrilling defensive oriented game the Knights won 46-27, holding the Bulldogs to the lowest score they had all year. Having been to the state tourney in Des Moines for the past four consecutive years and ending those years at the final four or elete eight level, this year things were to be different. This year the Knights got to the final game, for the second time in school history. This time for the first time in school history, the girls win the championship game and take home the State 2A championship trophy. The girls program has joined the Assumption boys program in expecting to be at state each year and win it.

      This group of girls are a true team. Every girl sacrificed for the good of the whole team. Every girl tried to make her teammate better, and no one seemed to care about "stats". Each girl on the team may have been able to start at any other team in the conference. Indeed some say that the second best team in the MAC this year is the second team on the Knights.

    In the final three games at state, the team lead all schools shooting .458 from the field and scoring an average of 58 points/game

     Seniors Laureen Lybbert and Anne Smith were chosen to the all 2A tourney team. Senior Gabby Binion had a season high, and a school record, for assists. Laurren Lybbert was chosen 1st team All State team. Gabby Binion and Anne Smith were selected to the 2nd team All-State

FLK - is into its 10th year: Did you Know
 
FUTURE LADY KNIGHTSDID YOU KNOW…..  FLK was started in order to help the girls that were going to go to Assumption learn the fundamentals of basketball, both individual & team skills, in a competitive program.  It is for those girls who intend to come to Assumption High School and is now a feeder program for Assumption.  FLK players are taught sportsmanship, discipline, responsibility, commitment and how to expect to win. 
  • FLK is in its 10th year.
  • FLK started in 1998-99 with three teams of about 30 girls (in 5th, 6th 7th grades).
  • By 2000, FLK had teams in each grade 3rd – 8th.
  • Currently there are over 90 girls in the FLK program and there are one or two teams at each grade level (3rd – 8th).
  • Since 2000 the FLK 7th & 8th grade FLK teams have played a total of over 900 games and won 75% of them.
  • Since 2000, two FLK teams qualified for the national AAU tournaments in Oklahoma or Florida.  FLK has won two national championship tournaments in Ohio and Illinois, and taken 2nd or 3rd place in three of the national tournaments. 
  • No girl has been cut or left off a Future Lady Knights team.
 
  • Every player on the current varsity and sophomore teams at Assumption came through the FLK program.
  • Every girl, except one, on the varsity and sophomore teams for the past five years have been through the FLK program. 
  • In the five years before the Future Lady Knights players reached the varsity as juniors and seniors, the Assumption varsity teams had a total record of 65 wins – 47 losses.  In the past five years, since the Future Lady Knights players have been on the varsity as sophomores, juniors and seniors, the Assumption varsity record is 110 wins – 9 losses. 
 
  • A girl in FLK has the opportunity to have skills camp and plays league games in 3rd grade.  Skills camps continue for 4th and 5th grade and there are league and tournament games.  Tournaments are played in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade teams in Iowa and Illinois.  The 7th and 8th grade FLK teams also play summer ball and have traveled to summer tournaments in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Indiana and Ohio.
  • Girls in the FLK basketball program are also able and do soccer, swimming, softball, tennis, golf, track, volleyball, dance and cheerleading, band, music, & mock trial.  Many of the FLK girls are on the academic honor rolls of their respective schools. 
  • All of the FLK girls go to Mass as a team in the summer when they are traveling at an out-of-town tournament.
