On January 21, 2023, a 22-year-old junior varsity assistant basketball coach impersonated a 13-year-old player during a game against Nansemond River High School. The coaches for the junior varsity team were fired after an investigation into the incident. The girls and junior varsity teams voted not to continue with their season and will forfeit future games.[2]
