Girls Basketball

2025-26 Season Review

It was a historic season for our girls basketball team! The Royals took down some tough competition on their way to appearing in the first state championship ever for girls basketball. Roncalli controlled the sectional tournament from start to finish, winning each game by nearly 30 points. In the first round of sectionals, the Royals defeated Beech Grove 70-35, which advanced them to the sectional semi-final, where they took down the New Palestine Dragons 53-16. The Royals secured the sectional championship with a decisive 67–38 victory over the Indian Creek Braves. The Royals defeated the Cathedral Irish in a nail-biting matchup, 52-50, in the regional championship. They then had a dominant performance over Northview in the first round of semi-state, defeating them 58-40. Their 50-47 win over Jennings County secured their spot at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for state! 

This 2025-26 Royal team now holds the school record for most consecutive wins in a season with 17 and total wins in a season with 27. Junior Elliot Leffler also broke the record for most field goals in a season with 190. On top of all the records being broken, the Royals were Circle City Conference Champions, Sectional, Regional and Semi-State Champions, Marion County Runners-Up and State Runners-Up. We’d say that is a season to be proud of!  

On top of all the team success, a number of players earned many individual recognitions. Leffler, along with seniors Brennah Cerny and Catie Rosko, was named All-Circle City Conference. Leffler was also named 1st Team All-County, All-State and an IBCA All-Star, and she made the IGCSA 1st Team All-State. Cerny and Rosko were named IBCA All-State Honorable Mention, with Cerny also earning  All-County Honorable Mention recognition and IGCSA Honorable Mention All-State. Rosko was invited to the Hoosier Basketball Magazine Top 60 Invitational. All well-deserved honors!
