Le-Win High School Athletic Updates - First and foremost, I want to thank the Lena-Winslow community for all of the clean up efforts the last two days. The out pouring of support from all residents, and residents from surrounding communities has been... edne.tw/n1013665

Well done, @ESPNRittenberg Such a great piece on an outstanding player, unbelievable (unique) person, and ever better teammate. Great family, great parents, and an outstanding HS head coach, @RicArand. Thank you Lena, IL for sharing @gennings_dunker with us. #Hawkeyes

For years, he was 1 of 5 offensive linemen at Iowa. Then the NFL pre-draft process showed why he’s truly 1 of 1. “The story of Gennings Dunker has certainly benefited with the helmet off.” I went to the Iowa City Culver’s to meet the mulleted king. espn.com/nfl/draft2026/…

Lena-Winslow Assistant Coach Conor Arendt has been inducted into the IHSFCA Hall of Fame. A career built on impact, consistency, and doing things the right way. Well deserved

So many things wrong with this: 1) Multi-sport athletes develop and transfer over unique skills that specialists will not have 2) Multi-sport athletes experience less burnout 3) “we support you, but…” isnt honesty or support, its leveraging fear to get guys to quit other sports I could keep going, but if you’re a young student-athlete reading this, ignore bad coaching like this. You get to be in high school ONCE. Play all the sports you want, work hard in those sports and any offseasons, and you’ll be the best you can be. You will ABSOLUTELY not fall behind less talented specialists. IF you are truly a college-bound athlete, playing multiple sports is PROVEN to maximize your abilities long-term! And if you are an average player in two sports, quitting one doesnt make you better in the other. Have FUN. Dont shortchange your HS experience bc some coach wants to try and fear-bait you into specializing when we all know the best athletes play anyway.

HEADED TO STATE!!! The PantherHawks are headed to Dual Team State after a 50-21 win over Wheaton Academy at the Team Sectional!

Billy Donovan shares a lesson that changed how his players thought about winning. At Florida, he had a manager track how long the ball was in each player's hands during a game. He asked one of his starters: "How many minutes do you think you had the ball in your hands for the game?" The player said 15 minutes when he had played 30. The real numbers? "A backcourt player, for the most part, is probably 92% of the game gonna be played without the ball in their hands. A frontcourt player - 95% of their minutes is gonna be played without the ball in their hands." Think about that. You're playing without the ball almost the entire game. "It's amazing to me how many players focus on points, points, points. That's what goes on ESPN. That's what gets the highlights." "But if you're gonna strictly talk about winning and you're really driven and motivated by winning and competing and being a good teammate, you have to look at the fact is -- what am I doing with my 92, 93, 94, 95%?" "Am I screening? Am I running the floor? Am I on the floor for loose basketballs? Am I rebounding? Am I taking a charge?" "There's so many ways to impact the game with the amount of time you're on the floor when the ball's not in your hands." This is what separates good players from winning players. You control how you show up. You control your attitude. You control your effort. Great teammates master what they do when no one's watching - and when the ball isn't in their hands. Winning isn't about the glamour. It's about the 95%. (🎥@Coaching_U ) (🎥@brendansuhr)

.@MattBowen41 explained what winning means to him in coaching high school football. "What you're actually doing as a coach in the state playoffs is buying time (with the kids). Every time you win a football game, you get to buy another 7 days. And those 7 days can be priceless."

No amount of 7 on 7s can prepare you for this

Two decades later and Ryne Sandberg’s words still echo throughout Cooperstown.

@mpetitgoue My deepest sympathies to you and your family Mark. Your dad will always be the king of basketball in Wisconsin. I learned so much from him about coaching and more importantly- life. His legacy will carry on forever.

It’s with a heavy heart that my best friend & dad passed away today! He touched so many people as a high basketball coach for 60 years in the state of Wisconsin! He will be greatly missed! I love you dad!
