• Week #23 - Badgers Compete Hard in Tough Double Header

  2/5/2026
  MS Girls Basketball - Always in the right place at the right time, Zoey deflected fourteen different passes during the first quarter. Even the officials commented on how she was always on the floor, hustling for loose balls. She turned that effort into a big scoring night - seven points, a new career high!  

   

  With excellent execution, the Badgers did a fine job getting the ball into the paint. For the second day in a row, the team enjoyed lots of high percentage shot attempts, with our trio of Zuri, Sunrise and Cora getting deep into the paint. Sunrise and Cora each had a bunch of rebounds - and deflections - and proved to be quite the presence! Zuri set the tone defensively - quarterbacking our half court defense with clear communication on the court and in the huddle.

  Boys Varsity Basketball - With his left hand, Isaac knocked the ball away from his defender at half court.  Using a swim move, Isaac beat him to the loose ball, positioning his body to gain possession of the ball. He took a peek at Covenant, now on his back, to assess his angle to the rim. Isaac made a decision - this was not time to lay the ball off the backboard. He extended his stride and planted his foot, rising towards the basket. His defender, right on his hip, did the same - leaping and stretching his arms to their full wing span. Covenant tried to swing those arms to the front of the cylinder, but the ball got there first, as Isaac threw the ball through the arms of his defender and then through the rim with serious force! If you didn't see it tonight, look for that dunk on SportsCenter. Absolutely epic.

• Week #22 - Badger Varsity Girls Take Down Foxcroft

  Varsity Girls Basketball - Last season, the Varsity Girls played a tough game against Foxcroft, losing on the road. While the team never quit, Tandem did not score double digits, while Foxcroft had 41. Imagine their surprise when the 25-26 Tandem Varsity Girls Badgers entered the gym.  

   

  Tandem held their opponent to twenty total points, earning their third victory of the season. The Badgers won 27-20, and are currently 3-4 in the conference, having improved dramatically - both from last season but also from the start of this season! In practice this week, Reggie had the team work on full court lay ups, and playing through contact, and that was on display up in Middleburg. Annie continues to be the kind of leader coaches covet, handling the ball handling duties, attacking the basket, and setting up her teammates. 

  
  Defensively, Annie works closely with Juli, who had a big three at Stuart Hall, and forces tons of turnovers. "We won because our press was so effective," Maya reflected after the game, and she is a big reason why. Maya plays at the top of the press, guarding the inbounds passer, and getting lots of deflections. On the rare occasion Foxcroft got across half court, Ginger was there for a steal - and Marilyn for rebounds. Aoife was dominant inside on both ends - scoring at the rim and defending the paint! What a presence! Sophie continues to be an offensive threat,  while the Badgers also got key contributions from Leelee, Maeve, Catriona and Nieve!  

• Week #22 - Great Day for Badger Basketball Boys on the Road!

  Varsity Boys Basketball - Blue Ridge. Regents. Stuart Hall. The Boys Varsity Basketball team took on three tough opponents in three days, all on the road, and still had a lot of energy to take on Virginia's top team on the road last night in Staunton. Always ready for big games, Sin got the scoring going with a tough contested three in the corner! Stuart Hall had a huge back line, and Tandem matched their physicality by inserting Mason into the starting line up, who scored a difficult lay up early. While Stuart Hall was able to get out in transition, Sean walled up, playing excellent defense without fouling. The Badgers forced an early timeout for the opposition.

   

  Trailing by 2, Tandem drew up a beautiful sideline out of bounds play during the timeout, and Quis demonstrated excellent body control as he got to the rim for a tough lay up. The game was tied at 9 before Stuart Hall hit a three at the top of the key. Unconcerned, Issac hit a big time three on the other end. After a strong rebound and put back for Keeman among the trees, the Badgers took a 14-12 lead into the second quarter.
