Hillsboro Girls Varsity Basketball 2025 Season Recap: A Year of Breakthroughs and Bright Futures
The 2025 winter basketball season was a defining chapter for the Hillsboro High School Girls Varsity Basketball team. Under the steady guidance of Coach Heather Storer, the Lady Indians posted a strong 19-5 record, captured a Sectional Championship, and laid the groundwork for what promises to be an even more exciting future.
We had the opportunity to speak with Coach Storer as part of our 2025 Winter Season Recap Series. She offered a comprehensive look at what made this team so special, from star performances and standout freshmen to how the team overcame adversity and set its sights on long-term growth.
Tylee Davis: The Engine Behind the Team's Success
When discussing this season's standout performers, one name immediately rises to the top—Tylee Davis. A dominant presence on both ends of the court, Davis was not only the team’s leader in points per game (PPG) and rebounds per game (RPG) but also topped the stat charts in three-point percentage, two-point percentage, assists per game (APG), and steals per game (SPG).
“She had 18 double-doubles this season,” Coach Storer said. “Tylee was the heart of our team. Her consistency, hustle, and leadership were unmatched.”
Also key to the team’s defensive efforts was Kobie Miles, who led the team in deflections—a stat that often doesn’t get the spotlight but reflects intensity and awareness on defense. Her ability to disrupt opposing offenses created opportunities and kept the Lady Indians in control of the game tempo.
A Season to Celebrate: 19 Wins and a Sectional Title
Coach Storer described the season as “great,” and the numbers back her up. The Hillsboro girls notched an impressive 19-5 record and secured a Sectional Championship, a significant milestone in the team’s journey.
While she didn’t point to a single defining moment, it’s clear that the team’s resilience and cohesion allowed them to rise to the occasion in tough games. One such example came in the very first game of the season, when the team lost a starting player to injury. Rather than falter, they adapted and grew stronger, thanks in large part to the contributions of younger players.
Rising Stars: Youth Movement in Full Force
The backbone of this Hillsboro team is its youth. Several underclassmen emerged as key contributors this season, a trend that bodes well for future success.
Freshman Dinah Ames and sophomore Annia Young were both thrust into larger roles following the early injury loss of a starter, and they rose to the challenge.
“We didn’t miss a step,” Coach Storer emphasized. “Dinah and Annia gave us huge minutes. Their growth and impact were immediate.”
Another name to watch is Ella Jordan, who, along with Ames and Young, gave the team a significant spark. These young players were not just filling in—they were actively shaping the team’s identity and performance.
Leadership and Legacy: Saluting Peighton Bledsoe
While the Lady Indians will return nearly the entire roster next year, one important piece of the puzzle will be graduating senior Peighton Bledsoe. As the team’s point guard and floor general, Peighton brought calmness, structure, and leadership to every game.
“She was a true leader,” said Coach Storer. “Peighton ran the offense and set the tone for us every time we stepped on the floor. Her presence will be missed, but her example has set a high bar for the underclassmen to follow.”
Responding to Adversity: Grit Over Glamour
Adversity hit early for Hillsboro, but the team didn’t blink. The loss of a starting player in game one could have derailed a less resilient squad. Instead, Coach Storer’s team used it as a rallying point.
The team leaned on its depth, and Coach Storer praised the poise of her younger players for stepping into the spotlight. That mindset of “next player up” helped define the team’s success in tight games and high-pressure situations.
Looking Ahead: A Program on the Rise
There’s good reason for excitement in Hillsboro. With only one senior departing and the rest of the core intact—including major contributors from the freshman and sophomore classes—Coach Storer has every reason to believe that this team is just getting started.
“We’re returning all but one senior,” she said. “Our underclassmen made big impacts this season, and we’ve strengthened our schedule moving forward. The girls are hungry to improve.”
This youthful energy, paired with battle-tested experience, makes Hillsboro a team to watch in 2026 and beyond.
Offseason Goals: Speed, Aggression, and Sharpened Edges
Coach Storer isn’t resting on the team’s accomplishments. Her focus for the offseason is clear: play faster and be more aggressive on both ends of the court.
“We want to improve our quickness and intensity—defensively and offensively,” she noted. “This group is capable of raising their game to another level, and that’s what we’ll work toward all summer and fall.”
The emphasis on two-way development ensures the Lady Indians won’t just be relying on natural talent, but also on growth, hustle, and attention to detail.
