FYGBA celebrated at Youth Night!

Friday, January 10 was a landmark evening for FYGBA and the entire Girls Program!

 

The Sabers crowd joined our guests from Tremper to witness 50+ future FHS Sabers join our High Schoolers on the floor for warmups, starting lineups and the National Anthem.

 

Then random players from each team were represented in the first Hot Shot Competition during halftime, with Team Saber Strong winning Amazon and Starbucks gift cards. Three lucky FYGBA student-athletes also went home with some sweet FHS Sabers swag!

 

Check out the photo gallery for images from the evening.
