2020 NEPSAC Girls' Basketball Tournament Class D Bracket - Semifinalists
Welcome to The Frederick Gunn School Girls Basketball Program. FGS has maintained a girls’ basketball program since becoming coed in 1978. We are a member of Class C within NEPSWBCA (based on the size of our female population). Our program consists of a JV and Varsity team and can accommodate athletes at all levels. The program emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. Our teams play competitive schedules with opponents including Canterbury, Miss Hall's, Cheshire, KLHT, Harvey, Stoneleigh-Burnham, Westover, and Millbrook. The Frederick Gunn School Varsity Girls Basketball earned a place in the Class D New England tournaments in 2016, 2019, and 2020. During the 2020 season the team made school history hosting a first round tournament game and winning for the first time. The Highlanders capped off the most successful season in school history with a trip to the semifinals of the NEPSAC tournament!
Our Philosophy
At the Varsity level, a competitive schedule challenges the team to work together and push one another both in games and practices. Teamwork is at the core of the program and is emphasized both on and off the court. The FGS team strives to improve both as individuals and as a team, working to build our success over the course of the season. The best teams are composed of selfless players who understand the strengths of their teammates and utilize them on and off the court. Hard work and respect for the game are important parts of every moment we set foot on the court. The average week consists of four (100 minute) practices and two games. Players often live, eat, and go to class together daily. The team aspect is natural during the winter term, and these players demonstrate that both on and off the court.
