Orebo back with WO-S

Gabriel Pruett

The Orange Leader

Some of the swagger that was missing from the West Orange-Stark Lady Mustangs’ basketball team last season is set to return.

Coach Callie Orebo is back after a year away from the program.

Orebo coached the Lady Mustangs for eight years and led the squad to back-to-back regional tournaments in 2006 and 2007. WO-S also made the regional tournament in 2001.

WO-S went winless a year ago under a new coach and without the services of either Brittany Scott and Brittany James.

“They (current players) area already thinking that because I’m coming back that I am going to make them win,†Orebo said. “It gives them confidence. It’s really not me but it’s good to have that spark, to have them thinking I can make it happen.â€

WO-S Athletics Director Dan Hooks is eager to see the Lady Mustangs return to the playoffs which were a normal spot for the Lady Mustangs year in-year out.

“We sure did have a good run with Orebo on board,†Hooks said. “We hope to get that back. We sunk low last year and I think this year will be a betters season. While she was here we went to the playoffs several years in a row. I hope we can get that going again. I think she will make that happen.â€

Scott and James are also going to be back in town soon to help with a summer camp with Orebo along with several other former WO-S players.

The camp is in its second year at Mt. Olive Baptist Church.

I can't remember her name, but I believe its Kia.  Will she be a senior this year this year?  She was first team all district when Scott was a senior. She did not play this year.

Is Coach Orebo related to Rick Orebo the former star football player at WO-S who attended LSU on a football scholarship?
