The Team won the Cheney Tech Holiday Tournament held at Cheney Tech in Manchester and featured Goodwin Tech, Vinal Tech and Cheney Tech along with Wright Tech.  Sophomore Travae Barrett was selected to the All Tournament Team and sophomore, Sha’la Hall, was voted MVP of the tournament.  Travae had 22 rebounds and 13 points and Sha’la had 28 points, 7 assists and 5 steals in tournament play.

Sophomore guard Sha'la Hall was selected as the Toyota Female Athlete of the Week in late January and was selected to the Constitution State Conference All West Team for the 2007-2008 season. Sha'la playing the point guard position, led the team shooting 42% for 13.2 PPG. Sha'la also averaged 6.2 RPG and 3.2 SPG. Travae Barrett a power forward, led the team with 8.8 RPG and also had 2.4 SPG. Shadae Taylor also a power forward balance the team with 5.8 RPG and 2.5 SPG.

Coach Jones reflected on this year's team stating "We are very proud of these young ladies. They work as hard as any team I have ever coached. They came to practice everyday with the work ethic of champions. Their attitude was to improve some part of their game and get better everday. They are great people and it was truely a pleasure to coach them."
