MERCEDES STAPLES

5A MVP - 2017

"Natalie has helped put me in situations where I could be successful.  She was the coach that always pushed me to do and be my very best, always helping me improve. Natalie knew my strengths and knew how to motivate me and she was able to get the very best out of each player.  Playing for Natalie was a blessing and I wouldn't trade the last 4 years for anything.  I'm excited to take the things she taught me to the next level, playing for University of Minnesota." ~Mercedes Staples  (Viewmont H.S.)

Kennedy Redding - Ms. Basketball and 4A MVP - 2016     

"Coach Natalie helped me develop my basketball skills at a very accelerated rate, which gave me great confidence competing against the top players Nationally and in High School.  Through Natalie's coaching I developed in ways that got me collegiate exposure and recruited by top NCAA  D1 Universities. I loved playing for Natalie because she is a great teacher and she built us to be tough players and made us an even tougher team." ~Bountiful H.S.

Hailey Bassett - 5A MVP - 2016   "Natalie is a true mentor to anyone she shares her knowledge of the game with.  She taught me to be confident and how to score in tight situations.  She was an all around amazing coach and she helped shape me into the basketball player I am today.   Natalie taught me to love the game and have fun, while being serious and focused while working to reach my goals.  I hope to make her proud as I continue on with my college career, playing for Utah State University.  I am lucky to call her my coach and my friend." ~Layton H.S.
