Our thoughts are with Noah Carter and his family this morning! Noah was rushed to the hospital overnight and had immediate emergency surgery for compartment syndrome on his leg. Please say a prayer for Noah and his recovery. 🙏 Stay strong

Over the years all of these guys have worn a Barnstormers jersey. So proud to have all of these guys as part of our program. Once a Stormer always a Stormer. Best of luck at the next level.

It’s more than a game. Joe is one of the most sincere guys you’ll ever meet and to know he did this comes as no surprise at all. He’s a great player, but better person.
What a career! He works hard, he’s relentless and he’s humble! Couldn’t be more proud of this kid! Congratulations
@jakehilmer
A great player and even better person!
We got the fellas back together again for a little fun at the Eastern Iowa All-Star game. It was so much fun to see everyone playing ball.

We are happy to announce that we were able to raise $8,000 from our Iowa vs. Everybody shirts. The funds went to the Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Program at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. Thanks for all your support which made this possible.
What a PHENOMENAL group of young men! This team could flat out play! For them to finish their AAU careers 4-0 is the perfect ending. Multiple scholarships were handed out this weekend, and many more to come for this group! THANK YOU to all these kids and families!

There is no secret to success. Yesterday morning the coaches went to the gym at the hotel. Guess who’s in there grinding the day before the Gauntlet Finale begins?

Congrats to Stormers Alum Cortez Seales

#stormerfam
Congrats to all our Stormers on a great season! Here’s our 20 Stormers who ended their season with All-State honors! Excited for this upcoming AAU season!
Been seeing a lot of talk about levels on here the past few days so we want to be very clear…
If you’re a D2, D3, NAIA or JUCO coach we want you to pull up to our games! We’ve always preached fit over level to our guys, and the reality is every kid isn’t D1! Let’s connect!

Everyone gets caught up in 1st or 2nd team. Our 2019 “2nd Team” now has 3 committed to play D1, with 2 others who have a legit shot at D1/D2. Not everyone takes the same path to greatness, but surround yourself with the right people and the possibilities are endless

2019 point guard Jake Hilmer with another triple-double last night: 30 points, 10 assists, and 13 steals in North Linn's win against Calamus-Wheatland. The 13 steals set a new school and conference record. Congrats
@jakehilmer

Great effort by these guys after playing the best that adidas has to offer in the Gauntlet the past 2 weeks to come to Spiece and defeat all but one is a testament to the talent these young men have. Just weeks ago they said we were done... they truly underestimated our program.
2019 point guard Jake Hilmer had 22 points, 6 assists, 5 steals and 4 rebounds in North Linn's 83-32 win over Bellevue Marquette. He surpassed 1000 career points in the win. Congrats
