The girls basketball team won 55-47 at a home game against Notre Dame High School on Jan. 24 and 58-29 against Louisville High School on Jan. 28. The two victories brought their overall record to 14-8.

Forward Lucia Khamenia ’29 said the team has made steady progress by coordinating their movements and mindset both on and off the court.

“The season is going really well so far,” Khamenia said. “We’ve played some tough games that have most definitely helped us grow defensively and offensively. The team has definitely gotten better throughout the time we’ve had playing together, and I think that really shows when we are on the court.”

Guard Jamie Chung ’28 said the group has grown closer together, especially during their team holiday party.

“We’re a very close group and have developed a lot throughout the course of the year,” Chung said. “My favorite moment so far was our team holiday party because it demonstrated  how our team is like a family.”

After former Girls Basketball Program Head Melissa Hearlihy announced her retirement last year, the team was led by Boys Basketball Assistant Coach Alexander Nailes as an interim coach. Soon after, current Girls Basketball Program Head William Burr officially filled in the coaching position in May 2025.

Co-captain Madison Gillett ’26 said the team initially struggled adjusting to Burr’s playing style but have since adapted to it and hopes to advance to playoffs.

“The biggest challenge has been adapting to a new coach and a new style of play,” Gillett said. “We eventually overcame it by trusting the process. My goal is to beat every team in our league from this point on and eventually make a run in the playoffs.”

The team played their last League game against Sierra Canyon School on Feb. 3.
