Both the boys and girls team and families got together at WCC.

After 17 seasons with Conestoga Boys Squash, Cam Hopkins has announced that he will step down as Head Coach of the Conestoga Boyas Squash.

Coach Hopkins is a US Squash Level 1 coach and Professional Affiliate member and is in his 29th year coaching interscholastic squash programs, having been the head coach at St. James School (MD), Rye Country Day School (NY) and Episcopal Academy (PA)- as well as the assistant coach at Greenwich Academy (CT).

He was a four-year letter winner (1989-1993) at Trinity College and captained the team in 1991-1992. After the 2008-2009 season, Coach Hopkins was honored by US Squash and the US Olympic Committee as Developmental Squash Coach of the Year. In addition, he has served as a member of the US Squash High School Executive Committee since 2010 and currently serves as a member of the Mid-Atlantic Squash Association Executive Committee. Coach Hopkins teaches 8th Grade English at Valley Forge Middle School in the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District.

To Coach Hopkins: You are special to all of us at Stoga Squash; we appreciate your years of hard work and dedication to the program development, and we will greatly miss your words of wisdom and encouragement.

Almost 17 years ago, a prediction was made that Stoga Squash would eventually find itself among the top teams in the nation.

The 2022-23 season found that prediction coming true!

The team entered the Nationals ranked #9 in the country among all varsity teams, having beaten all of its MASA and non-league opponents, except for Haverford and Episcopal Academy (EA).

Battling against #8 ranked Hotchkiss School in the first round, the team fought its way to a 4-3 victory to secure a place in the Elite 8.

While this team will go down in the books as having achieved the highest ranking ever for the program, the foundation was built, piece by piece, by those who came before and left everything on the court.

Five seniors depart the roster and 12 underclassmen return next season to see if the team can continue all of its great success.

The 2022-2023 team finishes ranked #8 in the nation and #1 among public school programs!
