The ADS Sentinels are more than just a basketball team — we are the proud defenders of excellence, discipline, and sportsmanship in the heart of Converse, Texas. Born out of the ADS Sports Complex’s mission to create opportunities through athletics, the name “Sentinels” reflects our commitment to leadership, vigilance, and protecting the values that matter most to our community — teamwork, resilience, and unity.

Our mascot, the fierce hawk sentinel, symbolizes watchful strength and swift action — soaring high to represent our athletes, coaches, and fans who rise to every challenge with pride and intensity. As a homegrown franchise with regional pride and a national vision, the ADS Sentinels stand tall in the gym, on the streets, and in the hearts of the families and fans we serve.

With deep roots in South Texas culture and bold aspirations for national recognition, the Sentinels are built for players, by players — fostering growth from grassroots youth programs all the way to elite competition.
