                  • Lions (Boys) Basketball

                    The Sampson Webber Lions (boys basketball team) is focused and determined as they prepare for an exciting new season in the upcoming year. With practices scheduled every Wednesday from 3:40–5:30 p.m., the players are dedicating time to developing their skills, improving their physical fitness, and build team chemistry. The practices are designed to ensure that all team members are ready to perform at their best when the season kicks off.

                    In order to try out for the team, all players must complete and submit their physical forms before the first practice. This requirement emphasizes the importance of player safety and preparedness. Once the season begins, attendance at all practices and games is mandatory to maintain a strong, competitive team.

                    Although transportation is not provided, parents are asked to ensure their child arrives on time for every game. Coach Dean Herring and Assistant Coach Philip Dotson are leading the team as they continue to work hard and prepare for their upcoming opponents.

                    Let's Go Lions!

                  • Lady Lions (Girls) Basketball

                    The Lady Lions are gearing up for a promising basketball season with a structured schedule of practices and games. The team practices on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 3:40 - 5:30 p.m. This allows for consistent skill development, conditioning, and team-building. Physicals must be completed and submitted before the first practice to ensure eligibility to try out for the team, emphasizing the importance of readiness and responsibility from all players.

                    Attendance at all practices and games is mandatory, as the team strives to build chemistry and execute well on the court. However, transportation to and from Saturday games will not be provided by the school; instead, parents are responsible for ensuring their child is at the games on time.

                    The first official game of the season is scheduled for October 20, 2024, making the beginning of an exciting and competitive season under the guidance of Coach Dean Herring. With their eyes set on victory, the Lady Lions are looking to make a strong impression throughout the season. The commitment and focus from the players, the SWA family, and staff will be crucial in achieving their goals for the year.
