A storied tradition of excellence and accomplishment, the Powers Catholic Girls’ Basketball program has seen state-wide success in the last several decades leading up to their last visit to the State Championship in 2013.  The foundation of the success of the program has been built by some incredible players that has allowed the program to see numerous district, regional and state championships.  However, over the years as with many programs athletes graduate, coaches retire and leadership and administration changes.  This typically leaves a void of connection and networking amongst former players and coaches along with traditions and values of previous teams and programs become lost.  This would be a typical result for a program like Powers Catholic, however the Chargers are far from a typical program.

On Thursday Evening, Goggins Fieldhouse welcomed back several alumni spanning from the class of 1995 - 2022.  A game that featured an amazing combination of past players and current rostered players coming together to celebrate the success of this storied program and to reconnect with the past, present and future of Powers Catholic Girls’ Basketball.  Former Coach Betsy Kreston, spoke some words to the group on BELIEVE in what you are capable of, highlighting the ceremonies only to be followed by incredible play on the court.

The game featured streaky shooting, transition scoring and a lot of laughs.  Current Head Coach Ryan Trevithick was more than impressed by the turn out and support.

“This group of alumni are amazing, they find a way to stay connected and network together and I am so honored to be a small part of this storied program.  With the current roster being able to be surrounded by these amazing women and share this experience and pride of Powers Basketball, it is a really fun and incredible experience for everyone.  I loved being able to meet former players for the first time, to align some of the stories that still continue to be told in our locker room.  The traditions that are passed down from generation to generation are really unique to this program and unlike other locker rooms I’ve been a part of in the past.  We look forward to carrying on their legacy and building on the foundation they have set for us to stand successfully on.” - Coach Trevithick
