Thank you to our 17U players and their parents. It's been a privilege to coach and get to know you over the years. Have had some of these guys in the program for as many as 5 years and will miss working with them all. Best part of sports. The relationships. #getbuckets

If you aren't affiliated with another school in the State tournament, then you should be cheering for Henning.
Thank you for letting me tell the story for the Hornets and the Henning community. @MisegadesRandy . Henning boys basketball team playing for more than just the game

Alexandria has more upside in their program than any other AAA school. They are young and really good. And next year they’ll be young, really good, and experienced!. *Applies to both Boys and Girls programs 👀. @RyanJamesMN @CentralMNHoops @GMacHoops.

@CometsLewis And the complaining parents are gone 2 years later, never to give HS basketball another thought. Meanwhile, they upended Coach Xs life and job. That, to me, is the most absurd part😒.

Every successful team needs a @micah1thompson. He is the epitome of a culture guy and team leader. He is vocal but leads by example. Some college program is going to luck out when they get his commitment. Congrats, Micah!.
Micah Thompson becomes the fifth member of Perham’s 1,000 point club. He did it in the most Micah Thompson way possible. @BoysPerham

Tough loss in the championship of the @tiphoops Vegas Finale. Anybody who watched that game learned that the United boys play the right way. They play for each other, put it all on the line every possession, and they respect the game. Couldn't be any prouder! #getbuckets

Think continuity and chemistry aren't important in AAU? . 16U Select is 59-12 in 2 seasons having only turned over 2 roster spots. What's better than the wins? The RELATIONSHIPS. You can't buy them, recruit them, or force them. Special relationships are earned. #getbuckets

A lot of basketball things to be excited about right now. But one great matchup I can't wait to see is Perham's Finn Diggins and Minneapolis North's Davon Townley. Two big, skilled sophomores on a giant stage. Friday night at 8pm. 👀 #MSHSL #MNStateHoops19 #TargetCenter.

These 2021 United teammates @CooperYaggie @SamVotava matched up in an instant classic last night! Both made clutch plays down the stretch but Breckenridge edged out a 1 point win. Great competitors and friends. #getbuckets

This is what @SamVotava does. He stuffs the stat line in a meaningful way that helps his team win games. BUT, ask him if he'd rather score 50 in a loss or 0 in a win. That will tell you what you need to know about this young man. #bornwinner. @NorthstarHoops @M_Biggs_ @JaredNHR.
Triple Double effort from East Grand Forks junior point guard Sam Votava in the win over Sauk Centre!. Sam scored 17 points on 7 of 11 shooting including three triples. Chased down 13 boards and dished out ten dimes as well. All around control.

2021 @ElijahDavidMor1 is 6'2 and the purest shooter I've ever coached. Effortless range to nearly mid court and a laser-quick trigger. Great handle and tireless work ethic. High character and good grades make him a must 👀.

@mtyler201280 This might be a hot take, but the Live period is dramatically overvalued. It’s 2023. Coaches can watch these kids any time they want to…including during dead periods.

No other way to say it. 15U Select is an incredible group of young men. The way they handle themselves in tough, close, seemingly hopeless games/situations is like nothing I've seen. Down 7 with 90 seconds to go. "We got this, coach." They go out and win the game. #getbuckets.

Appreciation Tweet. Shoutout to our United Coaching Staff! 2022 is easily the deepest, most dedicated, over-qualified stable of coaches we've ever had. I would be ecstatic to have my own kids play for any one of you. Its been a program director's dream. 🙌 Thank you!.

I was lucky to coach @logan_richter for a season and got to see, firsthand, how INCREDIBLY strong and athletic he is. More importantly, Logan is one of the nicest and most selfless young men I've ever met. I couldn't be more excited to see him on the field for the Gophers!.

WC United is in its 7th year. We started with 1 team of 15U boys (9 kids). Today we have 9 teams, including 3 very competitive girls teams. We've graduated 3 boys classes w/ 11 players playing collegiately (36%). 3 others play college football. We've come a long way. #getbuckets.

@Retiredbbcoach Alternate take: players need to learn how to defend without fouling. Don't change the game. Change how you play it. Also, in my experience, refs call fewer fouls when they are tired or want the game to end. Why would they want to intentionally prolong the game?.

One of the best teammates, fiercest competitors, and hardest workers I've ever coached. Congrats, Cooper! #1000.
