Head coach Josh O'Connor (Bennington) on Bohaboj:
"I am extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach Harper. She is the ultimate competitor. The tougher the competition and the bigger the stage, the more she rises. I have had the opportunity to work with Harper even back in our youth basketball days when she was in elementary school, and even then, you knew she had something special about her. We are so excited to see how much she will continue to grow at the next level. The Mavs are getting a special talent and even more so a great person. Thank you, Harper, for all you've done for our program and growing girls' basketball for our school and community."Â
Zach Isherwood (Director of Nebraska Attack Girls Basketball and 17u Nebraska Attack UAA Circuit Coach) on Bohaboj:
"Harper has been an absolute joy to coach over the past four years. She is tough, an exceptional leader, and consistently prioritizes team success over individual accolades. Her teammates love her, and she is held in the highest regard by everyone who knows her. Omaha fans will love her athleticism, speed, high motor, infectious energy, and bubbly personality. She is truly an amazing individual both on and off the court."
Carey on Bohaboj:Â
"Harper is a proven winner, having won multiple state championships at Bennington High School in both track and basketball. She is tough-minded, a driven competitor and tenacious defender who finds a way to make the biggest plays with the lights shining the brightest. Harper will make an impact on our program with her intentional mindset, her athleticism and her ability to lead as a point guard. We are excited to officially welcome Harper and her family to our Omaha Women's Basketball program!"
