2018 outlook: “The boys have some definite goals they want to accomplish this year. They’ll have to work hard to achieve those goals. They are very determined to make certain things happen throughout the year and at the end of the year. This is the first time that I can’t remember when that we’re ot fielding a girls team. That disappointing, but the individuals we have are very hard working. We have some talent on the girls side and they will be ambitious to accomplish their individual goals and work (hard) throughout the season.” Coach Rick Eickholt
​
Our take: Looking at the boys squad, Neligh-Oakdale has big expectations with several returning letter winners back and some promising youth to go along with those returners. The upperclassmen will be heavily leaned on to help guide the talent this year. Quality over quantity will be the theme for the girls team this year with only three girls out this season, but all three girls expect to have strong years for the Lady Warriors.
