We celebrated many accomplishments and achievements this season.
Individually all of our athletes maintained academic eligibility throughout the season and we had a team GPA of 3.34. Eleven (half of the roster) of our athletes had a GPA above 3.5 and 5 athletes finished with a GPA above 4.0. All of this is with most of our athletes enrolled in the Early College program. We had five athletes inducted into the National Honor Society, four Northeast District Scholar-Athletes, and four All-State Academic winners. Brooklynn Barret signed for a full-ride ROTC scholarship to Kent State, the first-ever for a McKinley student. Ava Brown signed with Claflin University (our third athlete to play at the next level in the last six years) to continue her academic and athletic career.
The program hosted its first sectional tournament game in eight years and won the first tournament game as a program in eight years.
Record aside, we had a great season with a lot of accomplishments.
