LONDON \u2014 \u201cThe hurt may still be fresh from the loss, but the joy I have felt with this year\u2019s team, trumps every other feeling.\u201d
Those words above from North Laurel coach Eddie Mahan best summed up the 2022-23 campaign of the Lady Jaguars that saw them reach the top of the 13th Region mountain for the second time in four years while making the girls\u2019 basketball program\u2019s second trip to the Elite Eight.
North Laurel has accomplished many things dating back to the 2017-18 season, compiling a 13th Region-best 164-38 record while winning 42 consecutive 49th District contest, and six straight 49th District titles.
\u201cI have coached at multiple levels from college all the way down to travel ball for 24 years now, and this team has for sure notched a special place in my heart,\u201d Mahan said. \u201cGoing into this season, I knew we were talented enough to make a deep postseason run, but I knew that talent alone rarely wins when it counts. As the preseason, started though you could hear the players start talking about the season, and it was often with a selfless and sacrificing motive to it. \u00a0
\u201cYou kept hearing the juniors and sophomores talking about playing for their senior \u2018Emily Sizemore\u2019, and how they didn\u2019t want to let her down this season,\u201d he added. \u201cIt was then that I thought this team might actually have what it takes to win. It\u2019s not meant to be an insult but in today\u2019s sports, we have made it so much about the individual that most players are not learning many of the biggest lessons team sports are supposed to teach. This team understood that and it is what made this team so special.\u00a0
\u201cThe core players love North Laurel, they love their teammates and they were willing to sacrifice for both,\u201d Mahan continued. \u201cWe still had our ups and downs, but at no time did selfishness ever boil into the core. The hardest part of them coming together and becoming such a good team is it made us feel we could beat anyone, so when you finally did lose, even in the Elite Eight, it felt like such a heartbreak.\u201d
Mahan also credits dedication from his players as one of the main reasons North Laurel has been successful for so long.\u00a0
\u201cOur program has had a lot of success over the last seven to eight years,\u201d he said. \u201cI think most people know that year in and year out we are going to be fighting at the top of the region, but for us the real success comes from making the state tournament and looking to make a run once we get there. It takes a tremendous amount of dedication from our players to sustain that amount of success, but I think all of my players would say the feeling we experienced this week makes it all worth it.\u201d
Losing the program\u2019s career leader in points, assists, and rebounds, senior Emily Sizemore, leaves a gaping whole for next season.\u00a0
\u201cEmily Sizemore will never be replaced,\u201d Mahan said. \u201cA player that has 186 wins in her varsity career, all-time leading scorer, all-time leading rebounder and leader in assists, don\u2019t come through your program often. \u00a0
\u201cHowever, it\u2019s not her talent that will be the hardest thing to replace,\u201d he added. \u201cWe have multiple talented players that are coming up behind her, but will they have her leadership and dedication will be the true test. She has never missed or been late for a practice. She shows up to work hard every day with a servant leadership that inspires.\u201d
One big plus for next season is the sudden emergence of sophomore Brooke Nichelson, who turned heads this past week at the Sweet 16 along with being named to the all-tournament team.
But that\u2019s not all, Mahan returns a solid nucleus of talent for next season.\u00a0
\u201cI had to laugh when my phone blew up at the state tournament about how talented Brooke Nichelson is,\u201d Mahan said. \u201cI knew she had a chance to be one the best in the state back when she was in sixth grade. She was limited last year with an injury that kept her out much of the season. \u00a0
\u201cThis year though, you could see her maturing each and every week,\u201d he added. \u201cIf she will take the lessons of how to approach the game from the senior she just played with, then she will be dominate over the next two seasons. Her athleticism is unmatched in our area and as the skill and leadership improves, I think we will all see her become one of the most unique players to come through our region.\u00a0
\u201cPersonnel wise, I know we have the talent to continue to be very good,\u201d Mahan continued. \u201cWe are only losing one player and have some great young kids coming up. We have the athleticism in the post play, and depth to be successful with a core of upperclassmen players like Brooke Nichelson, Chloe McKnight, Bella Sizemore, Gracie McKnight, and Jaylen Black. We also have some of the best young talent coming up like Mariella Claybrook, 6\u20190\u201d wing but it will not be the amount of talent we have next year that will make or break us. It will be the amount of leadership we have that will determine the amount of success we will have.\u201d
As for next season, Mahan said, \u201ceach season is different and each team will develop its own personality.\u201d
\u201cUntil we see what our team product looks like next year, I don\u2019t want to say what our chances are,\u201d he said. \u201cI will say we have the talent and my favorite part of coaching is seeing how the pieces come together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
