"History made Saturday."

Those words now echo through the halls of North American University after the Stallions delivered a defining performance against Texas A&M–Texarkana. With the victory, NAU improved to 16–8, officially setting the school record for most wins in a single season in program history.

The box score will reflect the numbers. The record book will confirm the milestone. But what it cannot capture is the atmosphere inside the arena — the belief, the urgency, the unity of a team that understands its moment.

From the opening tip, the Stallions played with controlled aggression. They executed in the half court. They defended with discipline. And when momentum shifted, they responded like a veteran group that has grown together through every possession this season.

After the historic win, Coach Bryan Doze reflected on the achievement in a message shared via LinkedIn:

"We officially broke the school record for most wins in program history… Grateful to lead a resilient, hardworking group of young men… Records are meant to be broken but we're not finished. More work to do."

That statement says everything about the culture being built.

The Olympic Heart of a Program in Ascent

Saturday wasn't just about basketball.

It was about preparation meeting opportunity.

The Stallions opened with the burst of a 100-meter sprinter. They absorbed runs like seasoned marathoners. And when it was time to close, they executed with championship composure.

Greatness isn't born in the spotlight. It's revealed there.

It's built in empty gyms.
It's built in film sessions.
It's built in accountability.

And Saturday, all of that preparation showed.

The Coach Who Lit the Torch

Under Coach Doze, this program has not merely improved — it has matured.

Academics. Player development. Community engagement. Competitive growth.

This is a program being constructed with intention.

The record-breaking season is the result of:

• Structure

• Discipline

• Humility

• Belief

Coach Doze has consistently emphasized that it's bigger than basketball — it's about building men of character. On Saturday, that character translated directly to results.

More Than a Milestone

Some wins count in the standings.

Some wins shift culture.

This one did both.

The Stallions didn't just break a record. They raised the standard. And the most dangerous part for the rest of the conference?

They're not satisfied.

What's Next: The I-45 Shootout

History has been made — but now comes rivalry.

The Stallions will take on their HBCU conference rival in the highly anticipated I-45 Shootout, a powerful RRAC vs. HBCU Conference matchup that carries pride, positioning, and momentum.

The record may have been set Saturday.

But as Coach Doze said — "We're not finished. More work to do."

And in the RRAC… the work continues.
