NO CEILING IN SIGHT: No. 9 Jordan Sets Its Sights Even Higher After Historic Playoff Breakthrough

No. 9 Jordan Warriors

The Jordan Warriors reached new heights last season, posting a 25-8 record (12-4 in district) en route to a historic third-round playoff appearance.

Having surpassed 250 career wins, head coach Shalesha Pierce has established an impressive precedent for a program eager to build on its recent breakthrough. Senior guard Carlie Lewis, an East Central University commit, returns alongside fellow senior Natalie Epstein, providing the Warriors with veteran experience in the backcourt and frontcourt, respectively.

Meanwhile, sophomore Tessa Arnoldi and junior post Toni Ademuwagun figure to assume expanded roles as Jordan looks to replace key production without sacrificing its competitive edge. Last year's postseason showing was more than a milestone — it was a statement of the program's potential.

The standard has been raised, and Pierce's squad now faces the challenge of proving that its historic ascent was only the beginning.
