More Than the Score

Some of the most meaningful moments in Lady Lions basketball happen before the opening tip.

For the past two seasons, junior Charis Wright has helped lead a student-initiated tradition of bringing both teams together in prayer before Varsity girls basketball games. What began as an idea among teammates has grown into a powerful moment of unity, reflection, and purpose.

This microblog story highlights how one quiet act of leadership has influenced others, including younger athletes watching from the stands. It is a reminder that character, faith, and sportsmanship matter just as much as the final score.

Big thank you to Christie Branscum Photography for the photos!
