Today didn't go as planned, but I am so proud of these girls and this season. They left it all out on the court today. Just came up a bit short against a really good AC team today. So grateful for all of them and their commitment and hard work. We are especially thankful for our senior leadership. They have left quite a legacy - a record of 132-15, 2 state championships, and a 3rd place finish. Thank you to our assistant coaches for all of their investment into our kids and program. And Minden fans, thanks for your support throughout the season. It is still a great day to be a Whippet!! 💜🏐💜

We are in need of someone who is interested in doing the announcing for our home wrestling meets this season. Announcing generally involves reading a script to start the dual or tournament and then introducing wrestlers as they come to the mat to wrestle. it is a fun way to be close to the action! If this is something you may be interested in, please call the Minden High School Office at 308-832-2254 and ask for Mr. Strong.

Home Dual meet dates this season include:
12/5/25: Boys Triangular
12/18/25: Boys Triangular
1/6/26: Girls Dual
1/16/26: Boys Dual Invite
1/22/26: Girls and Boys Dual

One of the coolest things to happen to me in my career is getting a grant from the Minden Schools Foundation! All of the juniors this year can order a book for their personal libraries, and some of the books have arrived! It has been so interesting to see the books they're choosing; it's been a wild variety--a variety that reflects their interests and personalities!!! My greatest hope is that students find material to read that makes them excited about reading--whether it's a classic novel, a biography, a thriller, or a car manual--and that they become lifelong readers. Books are just words on pages until a reader breathes life into those words by reading, forming a bridge between the author and the reader. I appreciate everyone who donated to the foundation, making this grant possible, and I am so grateful that my grant application was chosen. Go Whippets!!!
