Tonight we ended the 2021-22 Gretna Dragons Reserve/Freshman Basketball season with a 56-23 victory at Westside. We finished the season 15-3 & continued to work and get better all season long. What a dynamic & fun group of young ladies to coach! Our program thanks you ladies!

With tonight's victory over Omaha North, Jerome Skrdla has become only the 4th coach in Nebraska high school history to reach 600 wins in his girls basketball coaching career. It has been an honor & a privilege working with such a dedicated professional, mentor, friend & coach!

[alex nelson @CoachJohnsonGPS]

Lucky to learn from such a distinguished coach. Congrats Skud!

[Gretna HS Activities @GretnaDragonAD]

Fun night of basketball with @ops_vikinghoops as we had the chance to honor 27 Seniors as well as Coach Skrdla for his 600th win! Thank you to our Seniors and to Coach Skrdla. What a fantastic career!

It's one thing to have a role model,

it's another to be one.

For #NGWSD, we brought the two together.

Period 4 - GRETNA 34 : LINCLNEAST 15

[Arete Hoops @AreteHoops]

Coaches that LOVE their teams will:

1. Speak the truth
2. Love the player, but correct the behavior
3. Never apologize for high standards
4. Use basketball to teach life lessons
5. Help players discover their bigger purpose
6. Use discipline as a form of love

[alex nelson @CoachJohnsonGPS]

Great win for our program tonight, 63-14 vs. Lincoln East. Our underclassman continue to grow together.

Nothing more satisfying as a coach than watching your players enjoy the game!

Values are revealed under pressure.

Do the work. Live the standard. Be who you say you are.
