What a night 🏀 so proud of this team!! But it’s the players, coaches and administrators that I have been so blessed to know and work with that makes 700 wins special!! It’s also not possible with the support and love of my wife - my favorite asst coach!! ❤️
Teri, is my wife and the best assistant coach I could ever hope for - we are celebrating our 700th CSB win over the last 35 plus years!!

Most everyone knows by now that Sophia Jonas broke CSB’s single season 3pt makes (61) last week but not everyone knows that Joyce Spanier established the mark 32 years ago - she was back in the building to present Sophia with the game ball!! Soooo cool!!
I would like to publicly share for the first time the names of our incoming class for the Fall of 2022! Brooke Beier (Foley), Megan Driste, Megan Morgan (Winona Cotter), Ashleigh Steinbach (Marshall) and Kira Young (Hudson) - welcome to CSB Basketball 🏀😊
This is one my all-time favorite pictures 😎 I always get lots of questions about this photo like “did you really take this shot on the water?” Yes, we did; no photoshop here!! Such a beautiful backdrop of these special places!!
A 37 year old tradition that I carried over from my high school football coach - SENIORS LAST LAP on the final regular season practice! 🏀 Nice slide by Gabby at the end 😊
Today Alex and Sidney would have celebrated their CSB Commencement - of course that’s not possible because of the pandemic. It would have been nice to celebrate this event of achievement, yet remember “commence” means to begin ... so make us proud like we know you will!
We Did It!!! 😎 We played 10 of the 11 allowable basketball dates! The most in the MIAC! A huge win and celebration! Thanks to the “village” that supported us in so many ways!! ❤️
A team’s success is not just about players and coaches 🏀 our 3 managers (we love them ❤️) are also invested! Our videotaper brings her “A” everyday; not just the playoffs ❤️🏀❤️
Congratulations to CSB basketball assistant coach Steve Howe-Veenstra on his induction into the St Cloud Tech HS Hall of Fame!! An exceptional teacher, coach and friend!! A well deserved honor!!
Today we canceled our end of the season basketball awards program. Our team selected Sidney Schiffler (MVP); Maddie Doran (varsity most improved); Gabby Bekius (jv most improved) and the coaches named Maria Klein (Coaches Award). Thank you to our parents, friends and players!!

Megan is a lot of things to a lot of people - she is a daughter, friend, student, teammate, athlete and now she can add soccer All-America!! Basketball is so proud of you Megan - congratulations!!
CSB junior basketball player, Maddie Schmitz, is in her second season as the public address announcer for home volleyball matches and her third year as PA for softball!! 🏀🏐🥎
To coach 1,000 games at the same place is reflection of so many incredible players and assistant coaches. And none of it would have been possible without them and my wife Teri! ❤️ 🏀
To put this in context - this was our post game on Saturday with our current team and the 1998-99 CSB team that that finished second in the nation as NCAA Runner-ups - celebrating 20 years since that achievement! Much more will be posted in the next couple days - enjoy!
This woman now has a building named after her!! Congratulations Sister Lois - your name will forever be on the outdoor athletic complex that supports soccer and softball!! ❤️
The expression “it takes a village” could not have been more true than the commitment this team made to the Granite City Classic - roughly 32 hrs (including 6 am practices) of scorebook, scoreboard and concessions operations. Best of all they did it all with an awesome attitude!
Five individuals lost their lives in that helicopter crash, 3 families are changed forever, and friends and fans are saddened. Say a prayer for all, and make a difference with your every breath!

Congratulations to former CSB basketball standouts Anne Dittberner and Chelsey Guetter for running and finishing Grandma’s Marathon - impressive, however it would have been even MORE impressive dribbling basketball for 26.2 miles 🏀😊😊
A portion of our team that participated and demonstrated at the Mn Girls Basketball Coaches Association clinic today! They did a great job including demonstrating drills for Doug Bruno, a Hall of Fame coach from DePaul 🏀😎
This evening our team received a blessing from the CSB monastery and the CSB Women’s Choir - it’s so impactful, and we are thankful for these women that make up our community. Enjoy these beautiful voices!!
Carla needed 19 pts to 1,000
for her career (in only 71 games) - she dropped in 23 tonight - so proud of her and if you haven’t had the pleasure to watch her play you only have 14 more chances 😊
Spring semester grades are in - team gpa (3.49) - two 4.0 (well done Tori and Morgan) 18 players over a 3.0 - 11 players over 3.5 - 6 players over 3.8! Very proud of this classroom success!
It’s May 1st, so the NCAA allows us to spotlight our 2021 incoming class! Welcome to Sophia Jonas, Livi Boily, Sarah Franta, Abby Kuboushek, Morgan Chmielewski, Mackenzie Matthies and Lexi Szathmary!! Let’s gooooo! 🏀😊
Most athletic seasons end with a loss; today I will not allow a disappointing game over shadow how I feel about this team! I am grateful for exceptional leadership and our collective character. I loved that players “emptied” the tank in every game! Thanks to all who supported us!
Oct. 16th will be our first bb practice of the season - it’s very exciting to get the year started! I would like to invite any hs coach or player that might want to attend a game/practice this winter - If you wish to watch a practice let me know and I will confirm our start time!
Here are your champions of the Quinlivan and Hughes Tip-off Tournament!! 😊🏀 Congratulations to MVP Megan Thompson and All Tournament selection Alex Johnson!!
