2014 Sacramento Believers 7^th Grade Girls

The 2014 Sacramento Believers, a seventh grade girls AAU basketball team, just completed another successful season.  2008 was a very good year for the girls from the Pocket-Greenhaven and Elk Grove areas.  Our girls finished fourth in the 2008 AAU National Championships, Division 1.  The team also took first place in the 2008 AAU West Coast National Championships and first place in the prestigious AAU Memorial Day Jam in Reno, Nevada.

This year’s Believers team is once again made up of local talent, Jamie Fong, Alyna Kanae, Kristen Lau, Jessica Lauderdale, Rachel Lee, Katie Lee, Najah Queenland, Sabrina Wu, and Carmen Garcia.  The team is coached by Russ Fong and John Kanae.  

Over the past three seasons, the 2014 Sacramento Believers have compiled an impressive overall win/loss record of 81 – 18.  We anticipate an even more successful season with the additions of Najah Queenland and Carmen Garcia.  These two extremely talented players bring a dominant post presence that has been lacking in past seasons.

Six players currently attend Sutter Middle School, one at Toby Johnson in Elk Grove, one at T. R. Smedberg in Elk Grove, and one at Holy Cross in West Sacramento.  All nine players received straight A’s last quarter.  Therefore, 2008 was a very successful year both on and off the court.  We look forward to the upcoming 2009 basketball season.
