Lady Whippets fall to the Dusters in the Sub District tonight to end their season. It was a tough shooting night but the effort was fantastic. These seniors had a remarkable basketball career with 2 state tournament births and a 3rd place finish in 2025. They always played with great energy and have high character. Win or lose, this is always a program Whippet Nation can be proud of!








Victoria Hansen gets her first career win at the state tournament today in Omaha. She went 1-1 on the day. Marlie Peterson went 0-1 on the day. Both girls will wrestle on Wednesday!







Boys basketball sub districts released! Our boys will be in the C1-8 Sub District tournament as the #3 seed at Gothenburg High School. We will play Doniphan Trumbull on Tuesday February 24th at 7:30pm.
GO WHIPPETS!!

National Honor Society celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Day this morning by recognizing some middle and high school students who were seen last week by teachers and staff doing random acts of kindness at school. NHS is promoting "Make kindness the norm at Minden Public Schools". One simple act can cause a positive ripple to make our schools, community, and world a better place. Thank you to all the students who show kindness and inclusion everyday!


For those of you making the trip to state wrestling this week, the NSAA sent the attached document for some information regarding traffic related closures and general information.
