Isiuwa Oghagbon ’17

I’m immensely grateful for the experiences that Mercersburg provided me. Playing basketball at Mercersburg was more than just a sport but an opportunity to create life long relationships. The coaches were focused on molding future leaders instead of basketball players and those are the lessons I’ve continued to use in my day-to-day life.

Mercersburg girls basketball helped engrave in me moral, mental, and physical toughness that I use every day of my life. It is a community like no other, and I am forever grateful to have been a part of it.
