Girls Varsity Basketball

Led by senior captains Zaire Harrell ’22, Alden Small ’22, and Ellie Gira ’22, the MICDS girls basketball team finished the 2021-2022 season with an impressive 20-6 record. Despite being seeded fourth, the Rams won the MICDS Holiday Tournament in December. The team also had an inspiring run to the district championship game, including an upset win against Lutheran Saint Charles in front of an electric crowd in the semi-finals. Harrell, who will continue her basketball career at UMKC next season, was recognized with All-Conference 1st Team status. Gira and Binta Fall ’23 were 2nd Team honorees. Brianna Desai ’23, Chelsey Nwamu ’23, Genesis Starks ’24, Ashley Cooper ’23, Abby Wyckoff ’24, and CeCe Harris ’25 all return along with Fall next year after making significant contributions to the success of the team this year, as will Ava Moore ’24 who missed most of the season due to injury. Newcomers to varsity this year—Ella Etherington ’24 and Julianna Resch ’24—are also poised to support the continued success of the program next season.
