Summary
The South Fayette Township School District board publicly recognized the 2025–26 girls basketball team for a 30–1 season and a PIAA state championship, with coaches and several seniors thanking the board and community for support.
The South Fayette Township School District board recognized the 2025–26 South Fayette girls basketball team at its meeting, celebrating a 30–1 overall record, a Whitfield championship and a PIAA state title.
Mark, who introduced the team to the board, highlighted the squad’s run through the state tournament — including victories over Milton Hershey and Penn-Trafford — and noted the team finished the season with a MaxPreps national ranking near No. 22. He told trustees the team’s sole loss came to a top-ranked national opponent in Miami and said the players and coaches ‘‘wish we had the last two minutes to play again.’’
Coaches and student representatives thanked the board for support. A senior who introduced teammates and two other seniors identified themselves and said college plans are lined up: Haley Lamondi said she will attend USC Upstate, and another senior, Juliet "Juju" LaRue, said she will enroll at Florida Atlantic University. Other players and a student athlete who spoke also named college commitments in brief remarks.
Board members offered praise for the team’s play and community impact. One trustee said the program has ‘‘established a legacy’’ and urged coaches to maintain standards for younger players. The board president thanked the players and invited them to stay for the remainder of the meeting.
The recognition segment closed without formal action beyond the public acknowledgement. The board then moved on to construction updates and financial presentations later in the agenda.
