Shane Marcey, Director of Athletics

It's hard to believe the 2022-23 school year is coming to a close, but what a year it has been for our Sagemont Prep Athletics Program. Our coaches, teams, and athletes have much to be proud of as they continue to impress and excel on and off the field. Before I bask in the department's accomplishments this year, I would be remiss if I did not thank the exceptional individuals behind the scenes. Mrs. Nelson, our administrative team, my incredible coaching staff, our athletes that make so many sacrifices, and finally, our Sagemont Prep families that continue to support our programs and their student-athletes. This combination is what makes us the top athletic department in South Florida!

Recently, our department successfully hosted the annual Sagemont Prep Athletics Banquet. Traditional athletic ceremonies protocols were thrown out the window as we transitioned to a more student-athlete-led event with twelve new program awards! Our women's programming is getting stronger by the minute as the volleyball team is quickly returning to the level of success they were once accustomed to. Women's golf crushed the South Florida competition, winning the district and regional championships and finishing in the top ten at the state championships! Standout golfer Ariana Silva finished the year ranked a mear #1 in the entire state of Florida for all female golfers! Our men's baseball team had an incredible run, broke the school's single-season win record, and lost a heartbreaker in the regional tournament. Finally, we celebrated nine senior athletes who signed their letters of intent to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level!

We continued our celebration of success on Tuesday at Grande Oaks Country Club, honoring our men's basketball team. If you didn't hear, they had a fairly successful year, winning our 3rd state championship! Tynan Becker was selected as Player of the Year, and Coach David Roe as Head Coach of the Year in Broward and Dade. The team, coaching staff, and administration were presented with their gorgeous state championship rings. It was an incredibly memorable evening full of delicious food, great music, fun, and surprises!

AWe are so very grateful for the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice of all the members of our department. We are incredibly excited to continue to build on this year's success! Be on the lookout for expanded programs and exciting new opportunities to get involved with Sagemont Prep athletics.
