[Jordyn Townes @jordyntownes31]

Thank you @Snowbballarts for making this highlight video from Ohio! The team played great and got a lot of great wins including this one!! We are ready for Kentucky!!

Apparently, putting cake in our mouths (instead of on our face) is a bit of a challenge. Must be gameday.

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Any “ranking” of the top sophomores in NE that doesn’t include @Morgannnjohnson lacks credibility. She plays a key role on one of the top teams in NE—deep range, great handle, ferocious defender, elite athlete, and selfless teammate.

[Grace Backus @GraceBackus9]

happy to be back with this team ❤️❤️

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

@GirlsKent with a huge 62-39 win at a really tough Sacred Heart Greenwich tonite. A relatively tight game at half, we outscored them 33-14 in the second half. Great job by all of our players—particularly great to see our pitbull @GraceBackus9 fully back and 100% healthy!!

[Grace Backus @GraceBackus9]

we’ll miss you jilly ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

We are so excited to announce that our postgrad @JillianHuerter has accepted the chance to join @RutgersWBB early! We will miss her tremendously-1 of the best teammates ever on & off the court. But we know that she is a cornerstone of their new culture at RU. We love you, Jill!!

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

How can you not love this crew!!

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Another day, another rock fight, and another W. We couldn’t get out of our own way in the 1st half and fell down by 10 to a tough & talented Hoosac team. But outscored them 31-14 in the 2nd half to put it away to go undefeated (7-0) into the holiday break. @kentschool @NEPSGBCA

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Uh oh….That’s right. Our pitbull is BACK!! 8 months removed from an ACL tear, she worked her tail off and was finally fully cleared today. Immediately makes us tougher and even more competitive. ⁦@GraceBackus9⁩ #FAMILY

Many thanks to the great ⁦@BashHoopsNE⁩ for making the trip to our workout tonight! No better ambassador and advocate for New England girls’ hoops than Bash. ⁦@NEPSGBCA⁩

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Back at it on Gowan Court tonight at 6:30 for open workout! Coaches, please DM this account or text Coach Coulombe to confirm your attendance.

[Empire State Takeover @NYSTakeover]

This kid… TOUGH 🥶 I love relentless competitors, and 2024 @Ak_Phoena brought infectious energy from start to finish last night @GirlsKent open gym. 5’10”, can play on or off the ball, showed three-level scoring ability, and a next-level athlete that can DEFEND. The real deal ✔️

[Empire State Takeover @NYSTakeover]

Hmm… not a bad group 👀 numbers a little lower so it was straight 3s tonight, but if you’ve been to anything of mine, you know how much I love 3v3. Fun & productive night watching @GirlsKent compete. Open gym szn in the NEPSAC in full swing! Wednesday #ViewsFromTheBaseline 📸

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Attn college coaches—our open workouts during the live period will be every Wednesday at 6:30pm beginning Sept 14. DM this account with any questions.

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Congrats to @rubyqsantos for her full scholarship offer from St Michael’s! And congrats to the coaching staff at St Mike’s for recognizing an amazing young woman—No better culture builder than Ruby.

Uh oh. She’s baaaaaack…from competing with her Jordanian national team in the FIBA qualifiers. Now at the Run for the Roses with her @NewHeightsNYC squad, with Kent teammates @rubyqsantos & @JillianHuerter courtside! @Ak_Phoena

[Kent School Girls Basketball @GirlsKent]

Thanks, Bash. Nobody has worked harder than @rubyqsantos to get to this point. Totally different player than she was this time last year. Breakout summer for her.
