2008-2009 Girls Basketball Team

The 2008-2009 Peddie girls basketball team epitomized toughness and excellence, achieving a remarkable 24-2 record and securing the MAPL and NJISAA Prep ‘A’ Championships. This season stands as one of the greatest in Peddie girls basketball history.

The team was led by standout players Lexie Gerson ’09 and Haley Peters ’10, who reached the milestone of 1,000 career points in the same game during the NJISAA Prep ‘A’ semifinals against Lawrenceville — a first for the program — and the team’s dominance was undeniable.

Coach Sean Casey earned his 300th career win that season, and Assistant Coach Eric Gustavson fostered a culture of accountability, hard work and camaraderie. “Things were always done the right way, and there was an expectation that we would all do things the right way,” said Peters.

Despite their success, the team remained humble and focused, balancing seriousness with fun. Their commitment to the team’s goals and their strong sense of unity was a testament to the culture Coach Casey built at Peddie.
