2024/2025 SCHEDULE!!

[Kevin Devaney Jr. @KDJmedia1]

I'm totally floored. In all of my years working in high school sports, I have never received a gift quite like the one I got today.

My wife ran into the house this afternoon and shared this video, which players and coaches of Section 1 girls basketball created. We watched it as a family. We all had tears in our eyes.

My daughters are 11 and 9, and I bring them to HS basketball games a lot. It's not just to expose them to the game so they can learn Xs and Os. I genuinely believe the community of girls playing the sport in Section 1 right now are true role models. My girls idolize players like Sophie Nascimento and Cadence Nicholas, and I want my girls to grow up and be just like them - as much off the court than on it. These players, regardless of school rivalries or AAU programs support each other in a way I just don't see in any other sport. It's a special era. And I'm grateful to be a small part of it.

Thank you to Julia Scott and coach Pat Buckley of Albertus Magnus for organizing this video, and all of the girls and coaches who took the time. I don't think any of them truly understand how much it means. I love you all.

Congratulations to Panas star Cadence Nicholas on becoming the 16th player in Section 1 history to eclipse 2,000 career points.

Nicholas, a SUNY Cortland commit, needed 18 points entering tonight for 2,000. She did it in the first half.
