SPIRE Academy has partnered with Rock Entertainment Sports Network (RESN) to broadcast the Women’s Basketball Senior Night game from SPIRE’s campus on February 18, 2026. The matchup features SPIRE’s nationally ranked women’s team taking on local rival Western Reserve Academy.

Four Division I commits will take the floor, including two Ohio standouts: Saniyah Hall and Ariyana “Peanut” Cradle. Hall, USC commit, No. 1 player in the Class of 2026, and an Olympic 3×3 gold medalist, leads a SPIRE squad built for primetime. Tipoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM EST and will stream live on the SPIRE Academy YouTube channel.

RESN will re-air the full game broadcast on February 19 at 7:00 PM EST, and the matchup will be available on-demand at watchrocksports.com/spire-academy.

“Working with Dave McElhatten and the RESN team has been a great experience,” said Adam Taylor, Head of Media and Content at SPIRE Academy. “Our goal is to make elite student-athletes visible at the national level, and this partnership helps us do that. This is just the start of a growing relationship with RESN and a broader media strategy to showcase SPIRE events across all sports.”

Broadcast production will be led by Gene Winters, SPIRE’s in-house producer, in collaboration with NEO Productions. The game will feature in-game graphics, replays, and multi-angle camera coverage.

This broadcast marks a continued investment by SPIRE in elevating women’s sports through media visibility, digital storytelling, and professional-grade production.
