Basketball
While our basketball seasons have come to a close, members of our varsity boys teams have been receiving accolades for their work on and off the court.
Seniors Braylin Davis ’26 and Pera McMillian ’26 received Academic All District Honors from the Basketball Coaches Association of Tennessee (BCAT). In order to receive this award, players must have maintained a 3.5 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale for their academic career while playing at a varsity level.
Braylin Davis ‘26 also received an individual award this past week. Braylin was named All-District Regular Season Division II Class A District 4 Most Valuable Player for the 2025-26 school year. He has shown hard work and dedication all season, hitting his 1000-point milestone and being a reliable starting player. Braylin’s MVP Award is a great way to honor his senior season at USN.
Tennis
