SW Lakers: Back to Back!
2022 and 2023 City Conference Champs!
Our Laker Women's Varsity Basketball Team won the city conference title with an undefeated 12 - 0 conference record in 2022! The following year, the Lakers finished with an 11-1 record and were named co-champs with Roosevelt. In both seasons, the Lakers logged over 20 total wins as well. That makes four conference titles in the history of the program - 1981, 2016, 2022 and 2023. Our varsity also won a Gold Academic Award (the highest level) from the state coaches association for posting a cumulative 3.75 GPA in both seasons!
The Lakers JV and B Squad teams also won conference championships both seasons in their divisions as well!
Try-outs for the 2023-2024 Season begin Monday November 13, 2023!

1000 Point Scorer Banner!
A banner recognizing the fall SW Laker girls basketball players to score over 1000 points is hanging in our gym.

The SW Athletic Hall of Fame Committee has proudly recognized our rich women's basketball history by inducting these former SW
basketball players into our SW Athletic Hall of Fame. Given that the SW Athletic HOF just came into existence in 2014, that is impressive. For more information on these and other inductees, please visit swhshof.com.

2016 City Champs!
|
Lady Lakers City Champs! The 2015-16 SW Girls Basketball Team won it's first championship (outright or shared) since 1985! The Lakers finished 13-1 in conference play and tied South for the title. The team also notched 20 victories for the first time in Southwest basketball history (girls or boys). Congrats to the girls for their hard work and success!
While winning basketball games and championships is not only fun and rewarding, the girls' priorities are academics (we have some of the best students in the school), hard work and "Team before Self"! |
