1984-87 Girls Basketball Dynasty "The Four-Peat"
Class of 2023
Team

The 1984-87 Battle Creek Bravette basketball teams have convincing evidence for claiming the title of Nebraska’s first basketball dynasty. Head coach Bob Schnitzler’s band of Bravettes was the first group of basketball teams, boys or girls, in the state to win four state championships in a row. Led by a cast of standout athletes, these Bravettes laid waste to almost every team they played during this 4-year historical run. Only losing two games in four years, they tallied a total record 94-2. The Bravettes made their presence known throughout the state defeating their opponents by an average of 27 points. The longest winning streak during this period extended to 42 games. Adding to this impressive resume is the lasting impact they had on future Bravettes. Their success launched a string of 15 straight state tournament appearances, the first of any girls basketball team in the state to accomplish such a feat and the second longest streak of such a kind at the time of their induction. To finish putting the icing on the cake, the ‘87 team was honored in 2011 as the Nebraska High School Hall of Fame’s Silver Anniversary Team.
