Great job to our Lady Tigers for representing Ada S. Nelson, Los Nietos, and the Boys & Girls Club of Whittier with pride at today’s Mambacita Tournament at Los Angeles Southwest College! 🏀🐯 While they didn’t advance, they played their hearts out and showed true Mamba Mentality on the court! 💪🔥
⠀

Our Ada S. Nelson Lady Tigers have done it again! CHAMPIONS two years in a row!

We are so proud of our student-athletes for bringing home the title once again through hard work, dedication, and true Mamba Mentality!

The Mamba League—a powerful collaboration between Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Nike, and the Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation—provides basketball clinics and leagues for underserved youth, honoring the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant. The league promotes basketball skills, leadership, and teamwork while creating opportunities for young athletes to thrive.

Congratulations to our champions—GO LADY TIGERS!
