The Ste. Genevieve Dragons boys basketball team put together a strong and memorable season this year, finishing with an impressive 17–9 record. Throughout the season, the Dragons showed toughness, teamwork, and determination, making it a year that players, coaches, and fans can be proud of.
The season came to a close with a hard-fought 58–52 loss to Bayless. Even though the final game didn’t go the Dragons’ way, the team battled until the end and showed the competitive spirit that defined their season. A big part of the team’s success came from its senior leadership. Alex Basler, Eli Bennet, and Jeffrey Hunter played important roles for the Dragons this year. The three seniors were key contributors on the court, providing scoring, leadership, and experience throughout the season. Their presence helped guide the team during big moments and competitive games.
The Dragons also had success in tournament play. They finished 3rd place in the DeSoto Fountain Classic Tournament and 3rd place in the MAAA Conference Tournament, showing that they could compete with some of the strongest teams in their region. Those finishes highlighted the team’s ability to step up in tournament settings and perform against tough competition.
Head Coach Rob Coleman knows replacing the production and leadership of the three seniors will be a challenge moving forward. Losing players who contributed so much to the team’s scoring and overall play is never easy. However, the future still looks bright for the Dragons. Several key players are
expected to return to the varsity lineup next season, including Maddox Sutton, Broden Kreitler, Simon Fritsch, and Dominic Johnson Jr. With valuable varsity experience already under their belts, these players will have the opportunity to step into bigger roles and help lead the team next year.
While the season ended sooner than the Dragons had hoped, finishing 17–9 and placing in two tournaments made it a successful year for Ste. Genevieve basketball. With a strong group of returning players and the leadership of Coach Coleman, the Dragons will look to build on this
The 2025–2026 season will be remembered as one defined by effort, leadership, and pride in wearing the Dragons jersey.
