I GIVE because…

While Titans girls basketball is still in rebuilding mode, sixthyear head coach Adam Lonon saw lots of improvement over the course of a season where the team rebounded from their two-win campaign in the 2021-22 season. Returning a core built around youth with seven underclassmen on the roster, Addy Winn ’23 and All-LIS recipient Sophie Dolan ’23 led the way as seniors. An 8-11 (0-8 LIS) record doesn’t tell the full story of the season for the Titans, who made their first postseason appearance in the state tournament since the 2019-20 school year.

“Last year, our goals revolved around development,” Lonon said. “This year our goal was to compete in every game. Because we had such a young team in the 21-22 season, this year was about identifying who we wanted to be as a team, what culture we wanted to build, and showing people how we were going to compete on the floor.”

There were many moments that stood out this season where the development of athletes shined through and players stepped out of their shell. In a 45-39 win over Norfolk Academy in December, Alexa Linton ’25 scored a career-high 14 points. Sophie Dolan ’23 made eight three-pointers vs Central Virginia Home School and Addy Winn ’23 dropped a career-high 21 in a 42-34 February victory over Veritas.

“Those are the moments you take away during the season that define each player's growth and development,” Lonon said. “Our JV team was strong this year, and I look forward to building upon a successful season.”
