From Howard to Portugal, Iyanna Warren Hires On as Oxon Hill Head Coach

A Clipper Returns Home

Oxon Hill High School announced Warren’s appointment on social media Friday, November 6. The school welcomed her back as head coach of the girls basketball team. Warren, known as “Deuce,” graduated from Oxon Hill in 2019. She earned three varsity Most Valuable Player awards, scored a school-record 49 points in one game and surpassed 1,000 points during her high school career.

Success at Oxon Hill

Warren was a two-time All-Met honorable mention and a nominee for the 2019 McDonald’s All-American game. She also received the Scholar Student-Athlete Award and was a member of the National Honor Society.

She succeeds Devone Williams, who coached Warren in high school. Williams posted, “Once a Clipper, always a Clipper #WeSail,” on X, formerly Twitter.

College and Professional Career

Warren played four seasons at Howard University in Washington, DC, after earning a scholarship. The Accokeek, Maryland, native helped the Lady Bison win the MEAC Championship during her junior season in 2021-22.

That season, she was named to the All-MEAC Second Team and All-MEAC Tournament Team. She also earned a place on the 2022 MEAC Commissioner’s All-Academic Team and later played professional basketball in Portugal.

Taking Over a Winning Program

Oxon Hill finished 14-6 last season. The school said Warren’s experience as a Clipper, Howard player and professional athlete would benefit the Lady Clippers. In a 2024 Howard Athletics Senior Spotlight, Warren named winning the MEAC Championship as her fondest memory at the university.
