It was a great season for all of our Middle School teams. We had a total of six Middle School basketball teams and 64 basketball players on our rosters this season! A heartfelt thank you to every one of our Winged Lions families for your support throughout the season—for sharing your children, for coming out to the games, and for all the snacks!

Thank you also to our Middle School boosters for providing every athlete with a colorful pair of Rowland Hall socks or a pop socket, and for hosting fan appreciation nights. We are fortunate to have a dedicated coaching staff who put in so much time, effort, and care to develop our student-athletes.

Please read on for a recap of each team’s season highlights.

A Girls Basketball
Coaches Zack Alvidrez and Mike Roberts

The A team players consistently impressed us with their work ethic, team-first mentality, and willingness to learn. After a successful season where we improved on the fundamentals of the game, the players put it all together and ended the season by taking third place in the tournament. The most impressive aspect of the team was that no matter what the end result was, they always left their best effort out on the court! We greatly enjoyed the time we spent with the players on and off the court, and we wish them the best in their future basketball endeavors.
