Basketball Wins DCSAA Championship!
On Sunday, March 2 at George Washington University, the Varsity Basketball Eagles defeated three-time defending DCSAA Champion Sidwell Friends 67-51 to win the title for the first time since 2020.
“I don’t know that I’ve wanted a championship more for any team that I’ve ever coached,” Head Coach Steve Turner told the Washington Post. “This is a special group, and I don’t even know if I can put into words how special they are and what they mean to me.”
The starting five of seniors Nyk Lewis, Derek Dixon, Christian Gurdak, Will Harper, and Alex Tuomou led the scoring with 65 of the 67 points on the night; the other two points came from the team's sixth senior Langston Davis at the final buzzer. "This group remained determined to mark its legacy with a banner," wrote the Washington Post. "Multiple trips to the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title game, including this year, proved fruitless. With that as fuel, the Eagles (29-5) made it their mission to leave everything on the floor Sunday." Click here to read the full article.
Check out the full game highlights below:
Senior guard Nyk Lewis was named the game's MVP after putting up 13 points, nine rebounds, four assists and three steals while shooting four of eight from the field and two of three from three-point range. He was also named the 2024-25 District of Columbia MaxPreps High School Basketball Player of the Year and will be considered for inclusion in the MaxPreps All-America Team, which is scheduled to be released April 8.
Additionally, the team is still in the running to play in the national postseason tournament where eight teams compete over three days at the beginning of April. We are currently ranked #11 by MaxPreps and #10 by ESPN. Follow the team on Instagram here.
Congratulations to Coach Turner on a great season!
