A year after the spectacular star graduated, the Red Devils were mired in mediocrity with a 4-8 record and playoff hopes quickly slipping through their fingers. Coach Nancy Warner told them a cold, hard truth: If you lose this next game, you will not go to state. "It was when we were like, COACH OF THE YEAR » NANCY WARNER, SPRINGVILLE 'We need to take this serious- ly' " senior forward Aliza All- red said. "Coach Warner would lay it all out for us and tell us what we needed to do to win. It was kind of our decision whether or not to do it, and we started to do what we had to." It's counterintuitive to rec- ognize Warner's first sea- son without a championship in three years as one of her best coaching performances. However, very few coaches could have led that 4-8 team to the finals. But sure enough, come Feb- ruary, Springville was once again in the 4A title game. And although the Red Devils did not win, it was an achieve- ment to even get there. "It was basically an all-new group playing together for the first time — a lot of the girls hadn't even practiced with the varsity team last year," War- ner said. "We had to take it a day at a time, and make a lot of changes. And it finally started to click." A new star was undoubted- ly a critical component to that success. Junior Malia Nawa- hine, who moved to Spring- ville from San Diego, Calif., became one of the most con- sistent scorers and rebound- ers in the state. Savannah Park, Han- nah Packard and Allred also stepped up. Springville tore through the second half of region play on a 7-2 streak leading into the playoffs. In the tournament, Spring- ville knocked off top-ranked Cyprus, followed by Sky View and Mountain Crest. It came up a bit short against Timpa- nogos, but the players will re- member it fondly. "I love this team more than any other this year, because we were such a team and ev- eryone wrote us off," Allred said. "I think it was hard and frustrating for Nancy because she's won a lot and hates losing, but she took it in stride."
