A really cool moment yesterday for the @AcademyGbball team, which was honored at halftime of the New York Phoenix game for their accomplishments this past high school season, capturing a fourth straight Sec. 2 and NYS Regional championship.
Alb. Academy head coach @VienJerry and senior @alexleonard54 spoke about the honor.
A well-deserved recognition for a program that’s built a modern dynasty in Section 2, and entered rarified air! @albanyacademyny
“Now we’re just supposed to hug and kiss everybody. You know what? Do your job right. Go to class and you won’t hear about not going to class. Kids have so many distractions they don’t stay focused on the task at hand. Accountability is going to be big until I leave,” Tom Izzo

When Academy feels that wave of momentum, with it comes another gear. Tough 1st quarter in play & on the scoreboard, then maybe a breakthrough sort of response with a dominant final 24. They needed that 📝
@alexleonard54 (2026) went ballistic after the break with 23 of her 28 coming in the 2nd half for Academy. Maggie Volmer (2027) led Holy Names with 18.
Game 1 ✔️
