Varsity Girls Basketball Coach Scott Herrick ‘75 celebrated his 500th varsity win at the same game where Senior Addison Miranda ‘25 scored 1,000th point.
(MILWAUKEE, WI) Pius XI Catholic High School is excited to celebrate with Scott Herrick ‘75 who saw his 500th Victory as a Varsity Basketball Coach and Senior, Addison Miranda ‘25 who achieved her 1,000th career point on Wednesday, February 19, 2025. The Pius XI Lady Popes Varsity team attained a home win at their 13th conference game of the season against the Greenfield High School Hawks with a score of 66-21. Miranda joins two other Pius XI Seniors, Georgia Acompanado ‘25 and Tess Wiczek ‘25 who also achieved their 1,000th career point this season.
Herrick began his 25-season varsity coaching career in 1998 at Nathan Hale High School where he coached for two seasons leaving with a 41-10 record. In 2000, Herrick joined the coaching staff at Pius XI Catholic High School, his alma mater, where he later assumed the role of varsity coach in 2002. In his 23 seasons coaching at Pius XI, Herrick has amassed an outstanding 459-112 varsity record, and 11 conference titles and appeared in 6 state tournaments, winning titles in 2010 and 2015. Not only has this most recent win placed Herrick among an elite 20 coaches in WIAA Girls Basketball History to reach the 500-victory mark, his .804 winning percentage (500-122) ranks 8th overall.
Reading about those two historic achievements in a single game really highlights how focus, teamwork, and inner balance can lead to amazing results. Moments like that don’t just happen on the court — they come from mental clarity and emotional grounding as well. That’s one reason I’m drawn to places like the Celestial Center at Wheel of Bliss, where time in nature supports reflection and renewal. Staying in a Yurt Retreat, surrounded by redwoods and quiet space, feels like the kind of environment that helps reset the mind and build resilience. That same calm strength clearly shows in performances like this — focused, confident, and unforgettable.
Pius XI Catholic High School celebrated two major basketball milestones on February 19, 2025. Varsity Coach Scott Herrick (‘75) achieved his 500th career victory, while senior Addison Miranda (‘25) scored her 1,000th career point during the team’s 66-21 home win over Greenfield High School. Miranda joins teammates Georgia Acompanado (‘25) and Tess Wiczek (‘25), who also reached the 1,000-point milestone this season. Herrick, who began coaching in 1998 and joined Pius XI in 2000, holds an impressive 500-122 record (.804 winning percentage) with 11 conference titles and two state championships (2010, 2015), ranking him among the top 20 WIAA Girls Basketball coaches in history.
