Basketball Team Reaches Sectionals

The team defeated Willoughby South in the Division I tournament.

Basketball defeated Willoughby South in the first round of the Division 1 Tournament before falling at Strongsville in the Sectional Final. US enjoyed notable regular season wins over Maple Heights, Shaker Heights, Benedictine, and Hawken. Justin Belcher '24, Duke Brennan '24, and Johnny Diaz '24 served as team captains.

Duke Brennan '24, reflected on his time with the team:

"The Basketball Program at US is unique and has impacted me in ways that other sports never could. Being a part of a team with only twelve guys allows a tight bond to be formed between each player and coach that other sports can't offer. Being able to enjoy a team lunch together before playing some of the best teams in Ohio is truly what makes the program special. I can't thank my coaches and teammates enough for the countless hours they put into this program, as their drive is what makes me better every day. I believe for these reasons and many more; it was a privilege to play for University School Basketball."
