Averaging 11 points per game and starting point guard for the Las Lomas Girls Basketball team as a freshman, Rose Morse is a talented basketball player. Morse brings a lot to the team with her phenomenal ball handling skills, passing abilities, and her incredible shot.
At the West Coast Jamboree tournament, their first tournament of the season, Morse played remarkably, and as a result, she was placed on the all tournament team.
The 2017-18 season has brought a lot of changes including a new coaching staff, led by Sean Hisaka. “I feel like with our new coaching staff and how much our girls have been working in the off season, we are going to have a better season each year,” said Rose.
She believes that he is the right coach for the team as well as a great communicator. Coach Hisaka previously coached the boys Freshman basketball team at College Park and coached JV girls basketball for Acalanes High School in 2016.

For the first time in three years, the team has a possibility of making it to the playoffs. “It’s a goal we are striving for, but only fate can tell what will happen”, said Rose. The girls team was put in a new division with Alhambra, Berean Christian, Mt. Diablo, Northgate, and Ygnacio Valley.
Through the first 14 games the girls team is in second place at 6-9, and they lead their league with 742 points scored. League play will start on January 12th against Ygnacio Valley.
Even though the girls went 5-17 last year, this year marks a turning point with a new freshman class, and a brand new coaching staff. The girls are now heading into league schedule looking to win out, make it to the playoffs, and win league.
