The Frontier Lady Mustangs enter the new basketball season with a renewed sense of purpose, confidence, and expectation. After a year of steady growth and flashes of high-level play, Frontier believes this could be the team that takes a significant jump forward. With a hungry returning core, added depth, and the trademark toughness the program has long been known for, the Lady Mustangs are setting their sights on a strong run in Class A.
What excites the coaching staff most heading into the year is the balance on this roster. Frontier combines athletic guards, competitive post players, and a versatile group that can defend multiple positions. Many of the team’s contributors gained heavy minutes last season, and that experience has translated into a sharper preseason, one marked by stronger communication, better court awareness, and a faster overall pace.
Leadership will also be a defining strength for this group. Frontier leans on players who not only understand the expectations of the program but who also embrace the responsibility of raising the standard every day. Their impact has already shown up through improved practice energy, accountability, and a team-first mindset that has become a central theme for the season.
Another reason for optimism is the team’s improved depth. Several younger players have stepped forward, giving Frontier more options off the bench and allowing the team to maintain intensity throughout four quarters. Whether it’s extending defensive pressure, pushing the transition tempo, or creating matchup advantages, the Lady Mustangs now have more flexibility to adjust on the fly.
As always, defense will be a major point of pride. Frontier expects to hang its hat on pressure, physicality, and rebounding, areas the coaching staff believes will keep the team competitive against any opponent on the schedule. Combined with a steadily improving offensive attack that features better spacing and higher-percentage looks, the Lady Mustangs feel equipped to contend nightly.
With a strong culture, growing talent, and a group fully invested in each other’s success, Frontier brings momentum and belief into this new season. If this team continues to progress, the Lady Mustangs could find themselves making noise when postseason play arrives.
