Webster U basketball player Kate Rolfes, the daughter of Incarnate Word Dan Rolfes embraces Coach Tanner Wilkenson after accepting her father’s state championship medal.
“Thank god Dan loves defense”. He has been on defense this whole time. If anyone can defeat this it’s my guy, Coach Rolfes. Keep 🙏🏻 . Keep fighting. Keep guarding, Coach! This thing will eventually turn it over and you’ll get to finally play some offense! Let’s go!

Maggie wished for an
@iwa_hoops
dub for her birthday and
@DanRolfes
granted that wish. Now he has to keep coaching for 14 more years so Mags can play for him!

When your JV team is down 8 with 30 seconds left, and you come back to tie it at the buzzer only to win in OT. What a game! Proud of my team!

I just wanna say how proud of our program

I am! Great players, great families, and great coaches! These girls represent the STL area so well!! Last stop…Orlando!

@iwa_hoops
Tonight will be a night I will remember forever. Coached these boys since 5th grade and tonight they squared off vs one another in HS. I had the biggest smile on my face the entire game watching these kids play. THIS IS WHY WE COACH!
@KBAfamily
He was a little nervous in the beginning, but at the end he wanted to show me his “new moves”. I think he ended up having a great 1st day
@KBAfamily
basketball camp!
@rachaelmccoy312
This is why we coach! Doesn’t matter if it’s hoops! Just want these boys to be successful and be good humans! So glad to catch a good soccer game between SLUH and Vianney! Love my guys!!
@KBAfamily
My 7th Elite Team traveled down to Jeff City for a 1 day tourney and went 3-0 to win the tournament. It’s our first of many together. Great job, Knights!!
@KBAfamily
Gateway Knights 8th finish UA Season with a huge win over a good MO Crush team. We finished 11-1 this season with our only loss by 2 points. This team is fun to coach! So proud of them!

Mission Week
@iwaredknights
has a Faculty vs Students Basketball game. They told me it gets pretty competitive and the Faculty swept last year, so I thought I’d see what the game is all about. Check out my highlight below.

I love this group!! Today was our JV 🏀 team last game! We defeated Ursuline to finish the season 18-3!! So proud of all you girls!!

#ProudCoach
Jake was upset that he didn’t shoot the ball well yesterday so he wanted to get some shots up today. He wanted to get 100 makes from the blocks! Love you # 24!
@KBAfamily
Abby Sievers is one tough kid! Took an elbow. Bleeding all over the place. Gets a bandaid and says “Coach, I’m good”. Finished the game strong! Gotta love tough kids!
@BlueStarSTL
@StJoeAngels
Long drive home thoughts. All I could think about is how I can over-react at certain calls the refs make/don’t make or certain plays kids made. A coaches attitude can def reflect how your team performs. Not afraid to admit I’m learning too! Love my squad tho!
@PheeElite
#process
When we say our
@KBAfamily
and
@BlueStarSTL
programs is about family, this is what we mean! These kids have been with KBA since their early years, and watching them grow up to play HS ball is AMAZING!! Great kids and great families! What a week at
@TFNsRun4Roses
in Louisville!
My guy Billy Walbert came out to see my boy play soccer tonight. To say this means a lot to not only me but Jacob is an understatement. Billy played on my
@KBAfamily
team and was one of Jakes favs. Much respect Billy!
@DeSmetJesuitHS
you have a good one!
@billy_walb14869
Let’s goooo!!!!!! Congrats
@PHEEsespieces

17 Humiston had a great opening weekend at the Phee Classic. Went 3-1. These girls play hard and can really shoot the ball. They’re already a tight group. Can’t wait for this summer!!!
Great weekend in Springfield, MO! Girls lost in the finals, and the boys won the championship! Great to come down and play different competition! Awesome job, Knights!
@KBAfamily
Our 2nd graders had the opportunity to practice after the
@Vianneyhoops
boys on Thursday. Our boys were able to watch and meet them afterwards. They were in awe of 7’2 Symon Ghai. 4’ tall meets 7’ tall! I think Jaxen will remember his 1st dunk!
@KBAfamily
Summer recap! We went 18-7. Biggest highlight was winning the Run 4 Roses in Louisville in the Gold Division Platinum Championship. Come join our Phamily at our tryouts on August 27th and be a part of the best girls program in MO.
@PheeElite
Watching some of our past players play tonight and caught this gem!
@morganramthun
w/ the 1st bucket of the game the way she’s always done it for
@iwa_hoops
!! Hustle play and a stick back!
@PheeElite
2024 Humiston is off to the semi-finals in the Platinum Division in Louisville at the Classic! Down 11 with 3 minutes left and kids fought back to tie.
@kinley_norris
with a buzzer beater for the win! Play at 9:10 AM tomorrow on Ct 18.
Great weekend with these boys in Memphis for the
@circuitfuture
event. Left the weekend with a dub! Lots of work to do tho! We will be ready!
@KBAfamily
What a weekend this group had! Went 4-0 to win the Reebok Winter Nationals! This team continues to grow and get better with every practice and every game. Great job, girls!
@KBAfamily
I’ve coached
@SieversAbby
since 7th grade. Got to watch her play in her last HS game. Sad how it ended but so proud of her to watch her grow as a player and human over the years. Many great things ahead of you, Abby! I’m so proud of who you are!

@PheeElite
Game day for the
@KBAfamily
junior knights training program! Game went to OT. Next basket wins. Jake nails it. Love all the reactions! This is what it’s about!
I always tell my
@KBAfamily
players that my job as their coach is NOT to win CNR games. It’s to develop you so that when you get to high school, you’re set up for success. Tonight an ex player told me that she made Varsity as a freshmen. Now, that feels amazing.
