Basketball

IWA Basketball achieved their pre-season goals by making the TAPPS Playoffs for the fourth consecutive year with an overall record of 16-16.  First-year coach Ricky Hernandez attributed this solid season to the girls’ team culture, and has high hopes for next year: “Our seniors were our leaders and motivators all season. Having said that, our four top scorers and rebounders were all freshmen and sophomores so the future is bright!” Congratulations to Audrey Hernandez ‘22 who made the 1st team TAPPS 6A District 4 All-District team, along with Amaya Pitts ‘21 and Anora Lee ‘22 who made the 2nd team All-District. 

Congratulations to the JV basketball team for their victory over St. Pius X 43-19 on January 22nd. Kati Rzasnicki led all scoring with 12 points. Varsity won 55-31. Audrey Hernandez had 17 points, Amaya Pitts had 14 and Anora Lee and Lauren Castex had 10.

IWA Basketball took a win against Cypress Christian this week! This victory was all the more impressive considering many team members were away at the Junior Retreat.

Ifeoma Mbue '18 signed her letter of intent to play basketball for Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas amid cheers from family, coaches, and classmates. "Being able to sign to play collegiate basketball has been a dream of mine since 8th grade. Reaching this milestone has not always been easy but all the long hours in the gym and the injuries I have been through have all been worth it. This dream has become true because of the unending support from my team, parents, and high school and AAU coaches."
