Girls Basketball: Driving Toward Success

On the court and off the court, the girls basketball team works together and lifts each other up. "Everyone does their part and we rely on each other's support," captain Alex Moran says. It's this unconditional support that helps the Panthers achieve success on the hardwood, in the classroom, and around campus.

Coaching Toward Greatness

Like the teachers in our classrooms, Potomac's many coaches push our student- athletes to achieve athletically and academically, as well as learn the skills to help them lead healthy, principled, and successful lives. Through the sports they teach, each of our coaches model the School's core values of courage, humility, integrity, perseverance, and respect through the game. We have more than two dozen dedicated coaches who head or assist on the School's 64 Intermediate and Upper School athletic teams, which includes 21 varsity squads.

Commitment to Hard Work

Each athlete at Potomac has the dedication and the will to not just be good, but to be the absolute best they can be. "Challenge yourself to be great," is a phrase used often amongst the teams. When everyone has the same level of commitment toward a common goal, you can achieve great things.

Winning the Right Way

From football to soccer to cross country, sports are a big aspect of life at Potomac. But it's about more than winning and losing; it's about developing friendships, teamwork, and school spirit. Regardless of the results, the commitment level never wanes.

A Season to Remember

For the boys, lacrosse, tennis, and baseball each won Mid-Atlantic Conference Championships. For their success, the Panthers were awarded the Director's Cup for their achievements across 10 boys varsity sports.
