One of the most competitive programs in the Friends’ League, the girls’ basketball program has been under the direction of Vinny Simpson. Vinny attended Cardinal Dougherty High School and Hampton University. At Dougherty, Vinny helped them to a league championship and a 10th-place finish in the state tournament with a record of 21-5. Going undrafted in 2010, Vinny went overseas for eleven years and had an accomplished career, playing basketball in eight different countries before returning home to North Philadelphia. Throughout the years, numerous girls have come out of the FCS basketball program and gone on to play on the college hardwood. Currently, Jackson State University first-year Sana'a Garrett represents FCS on the D-1 level, and Madison Smith, who is in her second year at Ursinus College, represents FCS at the D3 level.
