Gonzaga comes into the 35th Annual DC Classic as the reigning champion. Gonzaga Basketball’s season begins in late November and runs through early March. This season marks Coach Steve Turner’s 26th on Eye Street – serving five years as an assistant and 21 as head coach. During Coach Turner’s tenure, the program has proved itself to be a national powerhouse, winning four WCAC championships, two DCSAA Championships, and four Alhambra Catholic Invitational Tournament championships. Coach Turner has also earned many coaching accolades including Washington Post All-Met Coach of the Year, National Gatorade Coach of the Year, and more.
Last year’s team won the DC Classic Championship for the third year in a row, won the King Cotton Championship, and finished with a 28-6 record to earn the #23 national ranking by Max Preps. Coach Turner notched his 450th win and seniors Nykolas Lewis (1st Team, Xavier commit), Derek Dixon (2nd Team, UNC commit), and Christian Gurdak (Honorable Mention, Virginia Tech commit) all earned All-Met recognition. Will Harper ’25 (Richmond commit) and Alex Touomou ‘25 (Harvard commit) return for the Eagles as well.
The team looks forward to competitions across the country, with games planned throughout the DMV, Portland, Oregon and Springfield, Massachusetts this year. Go Gonzaga!
The oldest all-boys school in Washington, DC, Gonzaga has a rich legacy that stretches back more than 200 years. Over the course of that history, Gonzaga has demonstrated and reaffirmed a deep commitment to Jesuit education. And it has chosen to do so in the heart of the inner city and on a block where it ministers to the least fortunate in society.
With a total enrollment of approximately 960, Gonzaga annually awards over $4 million in financial aid to over 35% of its students. Learning opportunities abound on Eye Street through the availability of over 100 honors and AP sections.
Students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of athletics and other extra-curricular activities. With 18 sports offered, and 41 athletic teams, more than 80% of our students participate in a sport each year. Gonzaga also produces two large-scale theater productions annually and offers opportunities to take part in multiple musical groups – including a chorus, jazz ensemble and winds ensemble.
Our commitment to spirituality and social service is realized annually by over 700 students who participate in Kairos and other class retreats, and through over 20,000 student hours spent in service locally, nationally, and internationally.
Through religious studies, retreats, opportunities for prayer, and service, Gonzaga seeks to help students answer these questions – as well as the three pivotal questions of St. Ignatius: “What have I done for Christ? What am I doing for Christ? What will I do for Christ?” The answers to these questions, central to Jesuit spirituality, are the four-year quest of a Gonzaga student – a quest which then continues for life.
