The Woodson Warriors’ 18-point victory was the most lopsided by a D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association team since the girls’ game debuted in 1990. It marked the first time a DCIAA team won consecutive title games. The Warriors ended their season on an 11-game winning streak, and ended Good Counsel's 18-game win streak. Woodson (22-6) took control early, on the strength of 6-foot-6 center Jeniece Johnson, last year’s City Title game MVP.

“It was kind of easy,” said Johnson, who scored 14 of her 15 points in the first half, as Woodson took a 28-17 lead at the break. “But I had to keep my composure because I don't want to hurt anyone out there.”

“It shows we're not a fluke. We're not going away,” said Woodson Coach Frank Oliver. We want to come back here next year and show it again.”
