Mona Preparatory School has cemented its legacy as a youth sports powerhouse by achieving an extraordinary three-peat victory at the Jamaica Independent Schools Association (JISA) Under-12 Netball Championship. The triumphant squad secured their latest title with a commanding 14-4 victory against Emmanuel Christian Academy in the championship finals held December 11 at the Leila Robinson Court within the National Stadium complex.
The championship-winning roster featured exceptional performances from Victoria Alexander, Malia Brown, Emma Chuck, Zyla Demetrius, Cariel Gibson, Arianna Gordon, Amira McDonald, Tamoi Nelson, Gabrielle Phinn, Zuri Sang-Prescott, Amira Serinash, Kiara Shirley, Skylar Smith, and Nyla White. Their decisive win earned them the prestigious Region 1 overall championship title.
This victory culminates a remarkable season characterized by technical excellence and outstanding discipline. Throughout the 2025 competitive season, Mona Prep maintained an unblemished record in official matches while accumulating multiple honors including JISA Under-12 Netball Rally Champions, Zone 4 Winners, and Competition Winners trophies.
The team’s statistical dominance proved equally impressive, scoring 152 goals while conceding merely 27 throughout the season. Their defensive prowess reached near-perfection during the netball rally tournament, where they allowed just one goal against while scoring 25.
Their sole setback occurred outside official competition in an invitational match against the Cayman Islands Under-16 national development team—a valuable experience that provided high-level competitive exposure.
JISA President Tamar McKenzie emphasized the significance of maintaining athletic programs following Hurricane Melissa’s late October impact. “Sport plays a critical role in restoring normalcy, building resilience, and supporting the emotional well-being of our students after disruption,” McKenzie stated. “I commend all schools for their commitment to completing the season and extend congratulations to Mona Preparatory School on an outstanding and well-earned championship.”
