Words simply cannot sum up what this season and team has meant to our coaching staff. Their dedication in the off-season, their grit during the season, and the love they have shown each other will remain with us forever.

There are so many people to thank! Parents, thank you for trusting your daughters to us. The team meals, the countless hours you've spent on the road, and the fun environments you created from the bleachers did not go unnoticed. Also, we wouldn't want to leave out every time you brought an item that your daughter may have forgotten. Thank you for all your support this year!

To our fans, creating a district atmosphere like last Friday will never be forgotten. To see the support you gave these girls in Lincoln really exemplified what being from small-town Nebraska is all about.

To Jeff, our bus driver and (against his wishes) bookkeeper, thank you for the time you've spent away from home and the encouragement you give these girls every single time they get on and off the bus.

To the admin, thank you for the organization that you have provided. Without you and your support staff, none of this season is possible.

To the underclassmen, whether it was the freshmen group in North Platte leading the cheers during our SWC comeback or the sophomores and juniors continuing to push and get better every day, you are the reason why this coaching staff believes this program will continue to move in the right direction.

To the seniors, we always said it would take one class to stick it out all four years and put in the time off the court to truly flip this program from being good to great. Thank you for being the group that has done that. The foundation was solid, but you've now built something that will inspire and impact the future generation of Dusters for years to come. We all can't wait to see the great things you do next year and beyond.

For the final time in the 2025-26 season, thank you everybody. It's been a heck of a run.
