Coach Bill Burr states, “We are a young team working on our fundamentals, trying to find our identity.
Learning how to play as a group and trusting one another.” With goals of making it to the SoDak game and “giving ourselves a chance to play at the state tournament,” says Coach Burr.
The top contenders are looking to be Red Cloud Mahpíya Lúta, followed by Spearfish, STM and RC Christian, the season schedule provides plenty of competition leading up to the run for state.
