The Cedar Hill High School Girls Basketball Team graduated five starters, including two NCAA Division I players, from last season’s Regional Runner-Up Team.

But according to Lady Longhorns 10th year head coach Nicole Collins, the word ‘rebuilding’ isn’t in the program’s vernacular.

“I honestly think this is a better team than last season,” Collins said of the preseason #7 Cedar Hill Team, which opens the 2023-2024 season on November 3 vs. Hebron, in the Wylie Tipoff. “These kids are different. The mindset is different. They play for each other. When a team gets it, they get it and you see it on the floor. They’re fun to watch and fun to coach.”

In nine seasons, Collins has guided Cedar Hill to two Regional Championship Games and six Regional Quarterfinal appearances. The excitement in her voice, when discussing the 2023-24 team, indicates that the program’s first trip to the State Semifinals since 2010. Collins was an assistant – just a few years removed from playing college basketball for Baylor – that season.

She knows it will be a challenge to advance to San Antonio but feels great about the team that could make it happen.

“We have so much offensive firepower on the floor,” Collins said. “Our team shares the ball, and it’s reminiscent of those great San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors teams. It’s a beautiful thing.”
