Yankton Pride!

This is a great time of year: cooler weather, back to school excitement and fall SPORTS!
I would like to extend a good luck and have fun to all the area high school athletes as they begin their fall sports seasons. It seems just a short time since my classmates of 2006 and I were wearing Gazelle uniforms and feeling anxious and excited about which AA opponent we were going to outplay next.
As a former Gazelle athlete and now a member of the South Dakota State women’s basketball team, I have never grown tired of hearing good luck from my community members, classmates, sports fans and friends. Your well wishes do not go unnoticed and have made the time spent in airports, hotel rooms and foreign venues go more quickly and remind me of the great community from which I come.
To all the athletes, not once did I feel under coached or under prepared as a part of the Yankton athletic programs. You are in capable coaching hands. Remember to allow yourself to soak in all you can from these influential people.
And in the end, win or lose, wear your Gazelle and Buck uniform with pride, celebrate your improvement, be a team player and work your tails off. It might not seem like a big deal right now, but in a couple years it makes for fond memories!
