What an incredible season it’s been! I’m honored to get the opportunity to coach these guys. It’s such a great feeling to see all of their hard work finally pay off for them! For the the first time I’m program history, we can call ourselves #statechamps #DakotaBowl

Football players come do track! We do these things every day!

Some new all-time records consist of is @BenseZach the new single season tackles leader. @BrennenGable new all-time tackle for loss in a season and career! Congratulations fellas!

When asked about the value of the Athletic Period, 81.12% of student-athletes said they’ve used what they learned in athletic period in other areas of their lives, and 89.52% said it’s the best use of their time during the day. At a time when many districts and policymakers were questioning whether to cut the athletic period, this data made the impact clear: it’s not extra time-it’s essential time. These findings helped the @THSCAcoaches bring real student voice into state legislative sessions and superintendent study councils, grounding decisions in evidence, not assumptions. The full report dives deeper into how intentional coaching and structured athletic periods develop skills that last far beyond sport → shorturl.at/Xx7wT

Congrats!! Love seeing the work pay off!

NDSU RB Barika Kpeenu (@barikakpeenu) had a breakout 2025 season, earning First Team All-MVFC honors.

Class of 2026. I think this message is important to share with you before your Senior Year of Football. You don’t realize it now but someday you will. It’s going to be one of the most amazing times of your life. You’re going to have a town, a community following you and watching your every move. Take a look around, see all the kids that show up to support you. You were once one of those little kids that played football during the game, looking at the boys on the field as if they were Gods. Thank your family and support system for supporting you to become the player you are now. They went thru a lot to get you here, you didn’t do this alone. Tell them that because at the end of the day they are the ones that will be there for you after all this passes. They believe in you. I’m 36 years old and I still think about it often. The memories you have with your brothers and what you achieve because of the hard work you put in for years and years. Do all you can to leave everything on the field. Become the leader you once saw from an older teammate. Sit down and look around from time to time, take in the moments for they will be memories you’ll have for a lifetime. Focus on your team now, not recruiting. This is the best team sport in the world. It’s time to focus like there is no tomorrow, you never know when there is no tomorrow in your football playing career. ✌🏼

After a great call with @MarcosJWatkins I am very happy to be offered an opportunity to play division 2 football at @BSUBeaversFB #grindtheaxe @CoachBolte @CoachFord_DC @CoachBHopkins @BrandonLabath @PrepRedzoneDAK @NWahlScouting @arott23 @Sheyennefball @WFMustangAD
