Inside HOKIE SPORTS | Vol. 15 No. 5 | April 2023

Hokie Nation, This is the best year of basketball that I’ve ever had in my life. Although we came up short of our ultimate goal, I can’t help but look back and be immensely proud of all that our student-athletes accomplished this year. Our girls knew there were high expectations for them, and they exceeded every one of those. I could not be more proud and thankful to be their coach. You all, the fans, have been with us every step of the way. Hokie Nation is truly a family, and you came out in droves to support us. I said all season long that you could help make a good team great, and you did just that. When I moved my family to Blacksburg I could not have imagined the feeling of playing in front of a sold out crowd for the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. To accomplish that this year was truly unbelievable. We feed off of the energy that you bring to any arena we play in, and I can’t wait to see you all again next year in Cassell. To the greatest fans in the world: Thank you and let’s go! Kenny Brooks Head Coach, Virginia Tech Women’s Basketball Letter A Hokie to Nation inside.hokiesports.com 7
