Pender Girls gunning for big year
November 30th, 2022 | Jeff Axtell

Team: Pender

Mascot: Pendragons

Colors: Red and White

Class: C-2

Conference: East Husker

Head Coach: Jason Dolliver (2nd season)

2021-2022 record: 20-7 (lost to Ponca in Sub-State Final)

Returning Starters: 3

Overview:

Much is expected of the Pender Girls Basketball Team this year given how experienced and veteran laden they are.

2nd year Head Coach Jason Dolliver talks about his team’s personnel this season.

Coach Dolliver says the summer started rough, but ended well, and the kids are excited for the season to start based on that.

I think the Pendragons are going to be one of the top teams in the Area and East Husker Conference this year.

I feel like Pender is ready to breakout and have a big season.

Season Outlook:

Pender looks for a very talented and experienced team to lead them to big things this year.

The Pendragons host Wakefield on Thursday in the season opener. Coach Dolliver says his team has to play like they mean it against the Trojans.

Pender is in Sub-District C2-4 with Wakefield, Homer, and Omaha Nation.

Coach Dolliver says they’re familiar with each of those opponents.

He adds all 5 projected starters participated in State Track last year, adding they have athletes on their team.

I think the Pendragons are going to tear it up this year and have a monster season.

The girls have to push each other hard in practice and in games day in and day out, night in and night out, and week in and week out to be great, and I know they will.
