Becky Hagerdon

Becky Hagerdon graduated from Warwick Valley High School in 1982, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. She made history as the first eighth grader in New York State to join a varsity team. Over five seasons with the Warwick Valley varsity basketball team, she scored a total of 2,164 points, a school record that still stands today. Becky helped lead Warwick to five division titles, four Orange County League titles, four Section IX championships and a New York State championship in 1982, where she was named Most Valuable Player and selected to the All-Tournament team.

She was a five-time Times Herald-Record all-star, earning second team honors as an eighth grader, first-team honors as a freshman and sophomore and Player of the Year honors during her junior and senior seasons. In 1982, she was named a Parade All-American, selected as a third-team All-County honoree by Smith & Street Magazine, and became a bronze medalist at both the Empire State Games and the National Sports Festival. In addition to basketball, Becky played varsity softball from 1978 to 1980.

After high school, Becky went on to play at Long Beach State in California before earning degrees in physical education and athletic training from SUNY Cortland. Her impact on Warwick athletics remains one of the most distinguished in the school's history.
