Great program! TSP has emerged as one of the top programs in the WV/Kentucky area.
Excited to see where our Class of 2027 athletes will commit over the next 6–8 months! Since 2021, Tri-State Pride has consistently helped student-athletes achieve their goal of playing at the collegiate level. Through the collaboration of high school coaches and combined success of our merged programs—WV Pride, TS Hurricanes, and Blue Grass Ballers—we have built a strong tradition of college placement and exposure. We are proud to represent athletes from Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia, and Tennessee, and we’re looking forward to watching the next group of young women take the next step in their basketball and academic journeys. The future is bright for the Class of 2027. Stay tuned! Check out the video, you might see some familiar faces!

You have women’s basketball coaches who are kind to you all year long, and then you have women’s basketball coaches who only come around when they have camps or clinics. Just know, we know who’s who.

I would like to congratulate one of our very own, Coach Mikayla Lopez. She has become the new D2 women’s basketball coach at Lake Erie College! Coach Lopez will do an awesome job. She has a reputation for maintaining competitive programs, and she will bring that same intensity to the Lady Storm. We are sad to see Coach Lopez leave Trendsetters AAU due to NCAA rules, but we are excited to see how great she will do at Lake Erie College 💜💜
