Seniors Braylin Davis ’26 and Pera McMillian ’26 received Academic All District Honors from the Basketball Coaches Association of Tennessee (BCAT). In order to receive this award, players must have maintained a 3.5 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale for their academic career while playing at a varsity level.

Braylin Davis ‘26 also received an individual award this past week. Braylin was named All-District Regular Season Division II Class A District 4 Most Valuable Player for the 2025-26 school year. He has shown hard work and dedication all season, hitting his 1000-point milestone and being a reliable starting player. Braylin’s MVP Award is a great way to honor his senior season at USN.

Tennis
The girls' tennis team hosted Lipscomb Academy at the River Campus for its first scrimmage of the season, and had a big win of 9-0. This is an awesome start to the season, and a great first match under the newly installed lights.
