Hamiley Arenas and Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) Knights lost 12 of last 15 games

Despite Hamiley carrying the Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) Knights on her back, the team has been struggling and has lost 12 of its last 15 games. The team ended its season with only two wins in 2025 so far, with their last win coming last Dec. 30 against Rolling Hills Prep, 71-47.

The Knights did not even make the playoffs as the team ended its season with a 12-16 record and a six-game losing streak. Hamiley Arenas and crew last won on Jan. 25 against San Fernando, 60-23. This then led to that six-game losing streak.

Their last opponent was No. 3-ranked junior Jerzy Robinson and Sierra Canyon last Feb. 25. The Trailblazers crushed the Knights 91-24 in a one-sided contest. Despite this, Hamiley's future is still bright as she had plenty of time to learn during this season.
