Basketball - Girls' Varsity
The Marianapolis Girls Varsity Basketball team put together a strong 2024-25 season in NEPSAC Class AA. The team welcomed talented new players Bella Miele, Zahara Chadd, Sidney Anderson, Sophia Webb, and Mary Battersby while seeing great contributions and improvement from returners Aryanna Sheehan, Maeve Early, Baileigh Kimball, Grace Solari, and Sorelle Lavallee. The group coalesced quickly and became a tight-knit family, establishing bonds that extended well beyond the court.
The season included some tremendous victories, including last-minute wins against Winchendon and Austin Prep that highlighted the squads late-game execution and grit. The team overcame injuries and a challenging schedule to secure a 9-14 record and a 6th-place finish in the AA standings, though the group was ineligible for the playoffs.
The Knights showed tremendous growth in a variety of factors over the course of the season, highlighted by a tremendous reduction in turnovers (5 fewer TO per game across the second half of the season) and improvement in shooting from deep, with a team improvement 8% from beyond the arc.
With so many returning players and such positive moments to build on, the Golden Knights now look forward to a positive off-season of diligent growth to prepare for an even better season next year!
