Girls Basketball

2024-25 Season Review

The girls basketball team exceeded every expectation they had for themselves this season and ended as regional champions! This was the first time since 2016 that the program had won a regional championship, and after starting the season 7-7, the team wasn’t sure they’d make it that far. They faced a lot of adversity during the season, but the girls trusted the process and believed and encouraged each other throughout it all. The Royals ended their season on a nine-game win streak, which took them into an exciting postseason run. 

If you ask anyone on the team, winning that regional championship game versus Danville was the highlight of the season. Sophomore Elliot Leffler led all scorers with 17 points and six rebounds. Junior Brennah Cerny led the way defensively and scored 16 points, earning herself the team’s Toughness Belt. Senior Sara Rosko put up 10 points and added six rebounds. It was a total team performance for the Royals! Head Coach Jason Sims said, “It was a special day for the girls basketball program! Our community showed up and exemplified what is truly great about Roncalli.”

A number of Lady Royals walked away with some end-of-season recognitions this year. Elliott Leffler was named All-Circle City Conference, All-County, Indiana Basketball Coaches Association Large School Underclass All-State, ICGSA 2nd team All-State and the team’s MVP. Brennah Leffler was named All-Circle City Conference. Sara Rosko was awarded the Roncalli Leadership Award, and senior Kalise Gutierrez was given the Mental Attitude and Sportsmanship Award.
