I read this as a high schooler and adored it. I didn't grow up in precisely this environment, but it was damned close, and some of the descriptions of the girls could just as well have been about me and my friends. Particularly some of the hero-worshipping diary entries by younger girls about the older ones - that was a huge part of my closeted baby-dyke experience.
It was an okay book. I felt that it could have delved more into the actual basketball games and struggles.
