Robinson Secondary School Beats Woodson, 45–32
2/11/26 - The Robinson Rams avenged a late-January loss Wednesday night, defeating the Woodson Cavaliers 45–32 in a disciplined, hard-fought performance on their home floor.
The opening minutes suggested it might be a long night for Robinson. Woodson’s size advantage was evident early, as Isabel Conklin and Tazzy Alvarez combined for 12 first-quarter points, scoring efficiently around the basket.
But midway through the opening period, the momentum shifted.
Robinson’s London Augustin began attacking the rim aggressively, igniting the Rams’ offense. Augustin scored six first-quarter points, while Kyndal Fitzgerald added five, helping Robinson close the quarter on a surge and take a narrow one-point lead.
The second quarter presented a major test for the Rams when Augustin went to the bench with foul trouble. Instead of faltering, Robinson elevated its play.
Robinson's Madison Coutinho stepped up with six points in the period, and 5-foot-4 freshman Parken Mokaves provided relentless defensive pressure while contributing five points of her own. The Rams dominated the quarter, outscoring Woodson by 14 points and carrying a commanding 15-point lead into halftime.
The second half was more competitive, but with Augustin back on the floor, Woodson was never able to mount a sustained run. The Cavaliers’ offense relied heavily on Conklin and Alvarez, who combined for 27 of Woodson’s 32 points on the night.
Robinson, by contrast, showcased balanced scoring and team play. Augustin, Coutinho, and Lanise Dixon each finished with eight points, while Mokaves and Parker Lowden added seven apiece.
The victory marked the final regular-season home game for Robinson’s seniors, including Coutinho, who capped her home career with another gritty performance. A relentless defender and unselfish teammate, Coutinho has built a reputation as one of the area’s toughest competitors. For any young player looking for an example of how to play the game with intensity and heart, they need only watch Robinson’s No. 2.
