Congratulations to
@CadenHinker

On the eve of starting my 24th year of coaching and have that same excitement inside I get every year at this time. Definitely going to be difficult to fall asleep, but won’t be a problem to be ready to go for practice at 6am.

What a season for
@CadenHinker
! You have a chance to see him play two more times before he heads to Augustana.
March 26th - 3 Class Shootout, McCook Central Auditorium, Salem SD - 5:15pm!
April 15th - South Dakota Boys All-Star Game, Sanford Pentagon, Sioux Falls SD - 8:30pm!
Embarrassing : just got beat in 1 on 1 vs my son.... that is not the embarrassing part.... the embarrassing part is I was playing full speed (as full speed as I can go) and he is play 1/4 to 1/2 speed. Time to give up the ghost.

There are so many people that have contributed to our basketball team inside and outside of our program. Here are 7 guys who laced them up everyday at practice playing as our “Scout Team” helping to prepare our Varsity. Nice job fellas! 👍
@CadenHinker
left a mark on our program that goes far beyond his points, assists and rebounds. He showed the kids of Mitchell what it takes to be great on and off the floor. He changed our program for the better and left an impression that will last for a VERY long time.
Shoutout to
@Hennen_Workouts
for spending a couple hours in the gym tonight with our guys. Coach Hennen is as good as advertised! Our guys worked hard and learned a lot! Looking forward to round 2 next Sunday!
A tough lost tonight in overtime, but we are getting better. Proud of how hard we competed. Go home and get ready for the opener in the Palace Thursday night.

Kernels lose by 2 in the Championship bracket final four to a very good team out of Illinois. Headed home 5-1 after a very productive weekend!!
#KernelBasketball
Congratulations to Steele Morgan on his commitment to play at Dakota Wesleyan University!! A kid that has worked his butt off for this opportunity. I think all of us in Mitchell are excited to get to watch Steele play in The Corn Palace for 4 more years!
#KernelsMakeGreatTigers
We have our first member of the 10k club!! To make the 10k club athletes need to track and make 10,000 shots from the end of the State Tournament until the first day of practice. Not easy to do. Congratulations
